Xbox free Games with Gold for December 2022

(Pocket-lint) – Each month, Xbox gamers can download and play a couple of free games as part of an Xbox Live Gold subscription. Xbox Live Gold is more than just free games though. It also gives Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One X, Xbox One S and even original Xbox One owners the chance to play multiplayer games online and discounts on many digital games on the Xbox Store.

Membership in the UK usually costs GBP17.99 for three-months or GBP49.99 for a whole year’s membership when paid up front. Alternatively, you can choose to pay monthly for GBP6.99 a month. In our opinion though, the best way to subscribe is through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

For just GBP10.99 per month, you get Xbox Live Gold membership, Xbox Game Pass with access to over 300 games to download and play, EA Play, Cloud Gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, plus Xbox Game Pass for PC with more than 200 Windows 10 titles.

Free Xbox Games with Gold list for December 2022:

Colt Canyon

  • Available 1 to 31 December 2022

Heavily stylised and full of invention, this roguelike shooter is also part RPG and adventure game. It might have slipped under your radar previously, so is well worth a look as part of this month’s Games With Gold duo.

Bladed Fury

  • Available 16 December to 15 January 2022

Bladed Fury is a fast-paced hack-and-slash platformer with great graphics and hugely enjoyable combat. Note, Xbox has opted to halt the inclusion of backward compatible games to the Games with Gold line-up.

Of last month’s free games, Dead End Job will still be available for download until 15 December 2022.
