Xbox Games with Gold October 2016 Xbox website

The list of games offered for Xbox Games with Gold, the monthly subscription that gives paid members free games every month, have cycled, and new titles are now available this October. Some of them include a classic indie title, "The Escapists," as well a highly-praised off-road racing game.

As stated on the official Xbox news site, Xbox One gamers will be able to download "Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings." The game was originally launched for the PlayStation 3 back in 2014, and it was also available for the PS4. It eventually won Polygon's Sports Game of the Year award.

The Xbox One port launched with all the DLC content included. "Super Mega Baseball" will be available from Oct. 1 to Oct. 31. Its original retail price was listed at $19.99, but it will be free for the program subscribers this month.

"The Escapists" will also be available for Xbox One players, but it is only going to be available from Oct. 16 to Nov. 15. As the name suggests, players are prisoners in a maximum security facility, and they need to successfully plan their way out of jail grounds.

The game was highly praised when it launched, and it even spawned a spin-off based on "The Walking Dead." It's suggested retail price is $19.99, but it will be free for the aforementioned period.

As for Xbox 360 subscribers, they will be able to download "MX vs ATV Reflex," a popular off-road racing game from Rainbow Studios. The game was originally released in 2009, and it will be available for free from Oct. 1 to Oct. 15. Xbox One owners will also be able to play this game due to the Backwards Compatibility program of the Xbox One.

The second Xbox 360 title being offered is "I Am Alive," a popular survival game developed by Ubisoft Shanghai. The game will be offered from Oct. 16 to Oct. 31. The racing game carries a retail price of $29.99, while "I Am Alive" normally costs $14.99, but both of them will be offered free this month for Xbox Games with Gold subscribers.
