Microsoft has announced the Xbox Live Games with Gold for July 2023. Two Xbox One games will be free to download next month.
Here is the list of Games with Gold:
- Darkwood ($14.99 ERP): Available July 1 to 31
- When the Past was Around ($8.49 ERP): Available July 16 to August 15
Here is an overview of the games:
Darkwood
Roam by day, survive the night. Darkwood is a different type of survival horror game that builds tension through slow-burn atmosphere without relying on jump scares. While the sun is out, explore an open world of the corrupted woods to scavenge weapons and materials. Once the sun dips, you’ll need to hole up surrounded by whatever traps and barriers you can build and pray you can hide from or fight the creatures that emerge in the dark. Good luck making it through the night with your body and mind intact.
When the Past was Around
Discover the touching and bittersweet love story of Eda and Owl. Unlock the puzzles in a beautifully rendered point and click adventure with hand-drawn art and a magical score that will stick with you for days. This is a calming, meditative game that reflects on love and loss in a surreal world made up of disjointed rooms from memory and time.

They dont even try.
99.9% of the gold budget has gone to gamepass
Embarrassing
It seems anti-consumer to me to be honest. Good on Sony for continuing to provide decent content for their lowest paying tier customers. This proves that just because you have a more expensive subscription choice, you don't have to treat people in the lower tier like trash.
Microsoft's first-party games don't tend to rotate in and out of Game Pass. When they lost the rights to Quantum Break they worked hard to get it back. The usual sunsetting of the old version of Forza Horizon 4 didn't happen (as the car and music licences came up for renewal after two years), and it continues to be available in Game Pass as well. And anything without externally-licensed content from Microsoft seems to be a totally safe bet to stay. We'll probably never see a wholly-owned Microsoft game leave Game Pass, once added. It's mostly third-party games that come and go (and even then, only sometimes, there are some third-party games that have been in there for years now).
In both cases you need to stay subbed to the service to continue to get the games, too.
Get GP. Problem solved.
I think it has been 5 years or so since I last downloaded a GwG game.
dies from cringe
Xbox Gold is looking bad, i dare say even Nintendo is doing better Job than Gold on online subs.
This is almost like forcing Gamepass on users.
If you don't like Gamepass Skip Xbox.
GwG is looking bad, for sure.
"If you don't like Gamepass Skip Xbox."
Or, if you don't like Game Pass, but are big fans of their first party studios that are making the console exclusives, then buy an Xbox and buy games the old fashioned way?
You say that like Game Pass is the only way of playing games on Xbox lol. Like 75% of all games on Xbox, if not more, are not on Game Pass. On another note though, yeah GwG is utter trash lol
oh boy...
Kill it already lol
When they were more overtly trying to push people to Game Pass, everybody shit bricks.
