Every couple of weeks, Microsoft likes to give away games to Xbox Live Gold subscribers, and keeping to its schedule, the company has now made available two more games to claim. Xbox Live Gold is included in the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate all-in-one subscription, so those folks now have access to the two new freebies too.
The city management title Tropico 4 for Xbox 360 and the strategy experience Dungeons 3 for Xbox One are what's available this time, and both classics include backward compatibility support for modern Xbox consoles. Explaining the compatibility a bit further, Dungeons 3 is playable across Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S systems, while Tropico 4 can be enjoyed on the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
To make things easy, the Microsoft Store links listed below can be used to immediately claim the games onto a Gold activated account:
Dungeons 3 (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One)
Through enticing the dark elf priestess Thalya from the fluffy clutches of the surface world to become his chief lieutenant, the Dungeon Lord has found a way to direct his campaign of conquest from the confines of his underground lair. With Thalya on the front line, and the united forces of evil to support her, players will have to use every trick in the book to best those do-gooders of the overworld, once and for all!
Tropico 4 (Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S)
The world is changing and Tropico is moving with the times – geographical powers rise and fall and the world market is dominated by new players with new demands and offers -- and you, as El Presidente, face a whole new set of challenges.
While new Xbox Live Gold extras arrive every couple of weeks, the promotions don't disappear that soon. Anyone who didn't manage to grab Armello from the previous Games with Gold promotion still has plenty of time to snatch a copy.
As for how long are these Xbox Live Gold bonus games are accessible once claimed, all Xbox 360 experiences remain a part of the account even after the Gold subscription is discontinued. However, claimed Xbox One games are only accessible while being subscribed to Gold, and losing the subscription will make the titles temporarily unavailable until the membership is renewed.
