Xbox Games with Gold June 2016 titles include 'Goat Simulator' and 'Super Meat Boy'

 Xbox

The Xbox Games with Gold program has been updated, and a report from the official Xbox blog by Larry Hryb aka Major Nelson reveals that subscribers will get several popular games for the month of June. Some of these include the critically acclaimed platformer "Super Meat Boy" and "Goat Simulator."

Available from May 16 to June 15 is "Costume Quest 2." This highly praised RPG is available solely for the Xbox One. From June 1 to June 30, Xbox One players will also get to download "Goat Simulator," which allows players to take control of a goat and wreck havoc in a city. Although quite simple, it has become a very popular title. 

From June 16 to July 15, Xbox One subscribers will also be able to download "The Crew." Unlike many other racing titles, this one features a very large open world for players to explore. While the game was not praised by many, one of the most commonly admired features is the vehicle upgrade system.

Xbox 360 subscribers will be able to get "Super Meat Boy" from June 1 to June 15. This indie game has been named responsible for the resurgence of 2D platformers and has paved the way for many games such as "Shovel Knight." It is also known for its difficulty and is a common title played by YouTube Let's Play channels.

The last game Xbox 360 players will get is "XCOM: Enemy Unknown," which will be available from June 16 to June 30. This game is also added to the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility list, which means Xbox One players will also be able to download and play this title. 

It is noted that players with a trial subscription cannot download the games and neither can those with a Silver subscription. A subscriber with the Gold membership will automatically see the games listed on their Home dashboard screen, notifying that new free games are available.
