Early yesterday afternoon, an image surfaced revealing the June 2018 Games with Gold offer before it was officially announced by Microsoft; before breakfast could settle, the Xbox team officially announced the June 2018 Games with Gold offer leaving many wishing that the Games with Gold offer was a fake. Over the last few months, the Games with Gold offers have typically been leaked or announced earlier in the month, so it is surprising that the announcement came with only three days left in the month.
The June 2018 Games with Gold offer will give players an Assassin’s Creed title, Smite, a Sonic game, and a Lego game. Although it is always nice to get free games as an additional perk to the Xbox Live Gold membership, some of the monthly offers can leave the community begging for more. The June 2018 Games with Gold offers are Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia, the Smite Gold Bundle, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, and LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues.
Starting on June 1st, Xbox Live Gold members can download Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia ($9.99 ERP) and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed ($29.99 ERP). Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia will be free from June 1st to June 30th on the Xbox One. Players will step into the shoes of Russian Assassin Nikolai Orelov during the October Revolution. Also starting on June 1st, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will become free to Xbox One and Xbox 360 Gold members until June 15th. Race as Sonic or one of 20 other Epic Sega characters in races across land, sea, and air. Players can race against either ten players online or four players locally.
Starting on June 16th, Xbox Live Gold members will have the opportunity to download the Smite Gold Bundle ($99.99 ERP) and LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues ($19.99 ERP). The Smite Gold Bundle will be free until July 15 and will give players $100 worth of free in-game content, including 20 gods, free skins, and announcer packs. If you are looking for a more child-friendly game, LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues will give families a fun two player Split-screen adventure that could inspire future adventures around the world; Lego Indiana Jones 2 will be free until June 30th.
Although it is great to receive free games, the June 2018 Games with Gold offer. Most of the titles leave die-hard Gold members begging for more. Hopefully, Microsoft will announce another free title during the Xbox 2018 press conference at E3 2018.
