Dark Souls is being offered as part of Xbox’s Games With Gold promotion, which is now celebrating its one-year anniversary by adding to the list an extra free Xbox 360 game to its usual allotment of two. The other games for June are Charlie Murder and Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.
Xbox Live Gold members now have the option of downloading Dark Souls (normally $20) for free until June 15. Then, on June 16, you’ll be able to download Charlie Murder (normally $10) and Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition (normally $30) for free.
Microsoft also revealed how Games with Gold will work on Xbox One, starting this month, Games With Gold will begin bringing “subscription-based access to free games” to Xbox Live Gold subscribers, starting with Halo: Spartan Assault and Max: The Curse of Brotherhood. As is the case with PlayStation Plus’ Instant Game Collection offerings, you’ll only be able to access the free Games With Gold on Xbox One if you have an active Gold membership.
