VGChartz's Jacob James: "My time with Windbound left me wishing the game had focused on either a rogue-like journey or a survival one. The combination of the two felt like they were constantly working against each other, hampering any real enjoyment. The crafting, music, and unique art style are the bright spots on this voyage. However, they get lost among poor design choices, repetitious progression, and recurring game crashes that result in major loss of progress and an unwelcomed sense of futility. Whatever potential Windbound had went down with the ship."
It’s time to announce the October Games with Gold lineup! On Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, explore a mysterious paradise in Windbound and take to the skies in Bomber Crew Deluxe Edition. Xbox Live Gold members will have exclusive access to these games for a limited time as part of Games with Gold.
Ughhhh... why bother. Okay so they drop the 360 but why not then add another XBO title to make up for it.
Because they are seeing if anybody complains. Considering their brand loyalty throughout a 2-gen-length AAA exclusives drought, it’s fair for them to bet on nobody caring enough to jump ship.
Until “the games are coming” stops working, or the games do arrive, whichever comes first, I don’t expect more than this sorta shenanigans.
I would be fine with just two games if they'd up the quality of the games they give.
Actually I'm good I have gamepass ultimate so I get games every few days. I understand though it would matter more for playstation users if they had a game dropped from ps plus because most of the user base does not subscribe to ps plus extra so they would notice it way more.
How about the people who just sub to Gold, and have seen the cost double while the free games offered has been cut in half without warning?
@midget
Why would you spend double on a subscription. You can't be that I'll informed. Type gold onto Google and just grab a deal.

They're you go. You're welcome. Right there 6 months for around 30 cad. And then you can upgrade that to ultimate. I did that for 3 years and spent 110$ total. Like come on man. If you wanted gold or ultimate for cheap its so easy. Just open your eyes and have a credit card. Even a guy from everest college can do it.
It's so easy. *walks away from the middle of a random parking lot*
Oh my word! Windbound is a decent game! Did Xbox actually just give a good game with GWG?! 😱
Xbox working their way towards making people sign up to GP, doubling the price of Gold didn't work, so halving GWG content monthly is the next natural step, if people don't complain, expect only 1 game per month, then none.
No complaints over here I'll just let it die. It's not worth anything Anymore. Leave it to the casuals they'll play anything.
Absolutely pathetic. 4 games was ok now it's 2.....ps @re any of these tours to keep?
So basically this is same service minus x2 back compat games. Surely they could have rolled back to the start of back compat games? I've only nabbed back compat free titles from Nov 2021 onwards
^^thats it... you been missing out brother. And yeah they should have looked at more og xbox or other 360 games that had not made the rotation. i swear they gave away too human several times as well as a few others. The og xbox they barely scratched the surface for back compat games.
Starting today, Windbound is free at Epic Games Store. The free game offer runs until February 17 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep.
Each Thursday in 2022, the Epic Games Store will be giving away at least one new title for free. Next week, you can grab the seafaring adventure Windbound.
