One of the things that Microsoft console fanatics are eagerly waiting for every month is the list of games lineup that comes with every cycle of Xbox Live's two programs: Games with Gold, and Deals with Gold. Although the latter is more of a discount lineup than a list of free titles, it still has a lot of pull on Xbox players since it lists some triple-A games from time to time for both the Xbox One and 360.
However, what many Xbox players are really looking forward to is the monthly offerings under the Games with Gold program. Indeed, Microsoft has released some amazing titles for free under this program that some fans and observers have started predicting and guessing which games would make the cut a full month before the list goes out.
For the month of August, fans are clamoring for some mix of triple-A titles and indie games. If this month's Games with Gold lineup is any indication, then fans just might get what they want next month. The July lineup for Games with Gold include "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag," "Plants vs. Zombies," "So Many Me," and "Gears of War 3."
In addition to mixing major title releases with indie games, many of the games that were included in the recent months have upcoming title installments, such as the upcoming new "Assassin's Creed: Syndicate" game, and "Just Cause 3" coming in December. For this pattern, some fans post in forums that they are hoping to see previous versions of "Fallout" in the list. It is unclear, however, if "Fallout 3" will be included, since it was already confirmed that Bethesda is cooking up a "Fallout 3" and "Fallout 4" bundle for the Xbox One when the latter is released.
