Microsoft announced the Games with Gold for July, 2017 today. If you're an Xbox Live Gold member, you should definitely be checking these out every month, as it offers four free games (two Xbox One and two backward compatible Xbox 360), as long as you claim them within the specified dates.
Here are this month's Games with Gold:
Grow Up (Xbox One, July 1 - 31)
While out exploring the galaxy with MOM, BUD’s parental spaceship, she goes to pieces. Literally – MOM’s all over the place. The positioning of that moon was inconsiderate. Now her ship parts are scattered far and wide across an entire alien planet so rich in flora and fauna it would make even the most jaded galactic gardener’s head spin. It’s up to BUD to collect all her parts and get them back to the moon.
- Join this adorable wobbly robot on his fantastical acroBUDic adventure.
- Collect MOM’s ship parts with the help of new friend POD. She likes planets. A lot.
- Explore an entire alien planet filled with excitement and wonder. And a Flungus.
- Walking’s overrated - tuck BUD into Ball mode to boost, bounce and roll around the planet.
- Take to the air and soar between floating islands like a big metal bird with the Power Glider.
- Exercise those green fingers and overcome obstacles by spawning any plant you’ve found with the Floradex 3000.
- Ride giant Starplants into the sky
Runbow (July 16 - August 15)
A fast-paced party action game with a never before seen color mechanic. Up to nine players can race against each other locally or online as platforms and obstacles appear and disappear when the colored background changes. Go head-to-head in one of Runbow’s modes, including Arena, King of the Hill, ColourMaster, and The Bowhemoth.
Kane & Lynch 2 (Xbox 360, July 1 - 15)
Play as two violent and disturbing criminals in the action shooter Kane & Lynch 2. Lynch, the psychopath, has his sanity on the edge at all times and Kane, the ex-mercenary, is disillusioned and desperate. Play as both in an epic single-player story driven campaign, or team up with a friend over Xbox Live.
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean (Xbox 360, July 16 - 31)
Time for a swashbuckling adventure in LEGO form. Play as characters from the classic film series, each with their own personalities and abilities, and join your friends in co-op play! The wide-open seas are full of bricks for the plundering in LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game.
Both of the Xbox 360 games that will be available through Xbox Live Gold are already on the Backward Compatibility list, making them playable on the Xbox One. This is actually bad news for those hoping to see new titles added to the list, as Microsoft hasn't expanded the list at all in over a month now. If these two games weren't included yet, it would mean that there's an announcement coming.
You've still got a few days left to claim some of this month's Games with Gold. SpeedRunners (Xbox One) and Dragon Age: Origins (Xbox 360) are available until the end of the month, and Watch_Dogs (Xbox One) can be claimed until July 15.
