Microsoft hasn't yet officially announced next month's free offerings for Games with Gold, but thanks to an unlisted video uploaded to the official Xbox account on YouTube, we now know the lineup. The video reveals the four games Gold members will be able to download in May.
As per usual, May's lineup of games includes two Xbox One and two Xbox 360 titles (which are also playable on Xbox One via backwards compatibility). Headlining the batch is
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the open-world action-adventure follow-up to
MGSV: Ground Zeroes.
The description reads:
"Taking place nine years after the events of MGSV: Ground Zeroes and the fall of Mother Base, Snake a.k.a. Big Boss, awakes from a nine year coma. The game resumes the story in 1984, with the Cold War still as the backdrop, which continues to shape a global crisis. Snake's journey takes him into a world where he is driven by a need for revenge and the pursuit of a shadow group, XOF."
In addition to
The Phantom Pain, other Games with Gold for May 2018 include:
Super Mega Baseball 2, Sega Vintage Collection: Streets of Rage, and
Vanquish. All of the games are shown off in the video below.
