Christmas has always been thought of as a time for giving, but even though the holiday celebrations are just around the corner, it's not quite time for us to be expecting great gifts. But as November 2018 rolls around, that is exactly what the team at Xbox HQ are giving us with the free Xbox One and Xbox 360 Games With Gold titles. But are they actually any good? Will you want to play them? By golly, yes!

It promises to let you go from zero to 60 in just 3.2 seconds, and has today arrived on Early Access on PC, but the big news is that the extreme racing sim of KartKraft will be coming to Xbox One, PS4, VR and PC officially in 2019.

Love FIFA? Adore PES? Just want to be able to take to the field to enjoy the beautiful game? Well, there's a new kid on the block and ACA NEOGEO Pleasure Goal: 5 On 5 Mini Soccer is looking to nail the top bin on Xbox One

Stick Forza Horizon 4 to one side and forget about getting behind the wheel of any of the rally beasts in DiRT. Super Pixel Racers is here and it promises fast paced racing with a nostalgic look!

If you hadn't already guessed, it's Halloween - and Bandai Namco are taking that opportunity to reveal more details regarding the upcoming Man of Medan. 

The launch of Battlefield V is just around the corner, and that means there is no better time than now to hop into the all-out war found in Battlefield 1 - especially now that it is free to download. 

It's a game that consistently sees players flocking, as the battle between the weedy plants and terrifying zombies continues at a ferocious pace. Today those players fully entwined in the whole Garden Warfare 2 fight can however get a little upgrade!

It's the game which kicked off the entire franchise, leading to some of the most spectacular gaming experiences the worlds has ever seen. Yep, it's Assassin's Creed - and it's free on Xbox. 

It's that time of the year - the time to take in every survival horror experience possible. But are you ready to dip your toes into the world of Whisperwood mental institution in The One We Found?

It's been 8 years since the release of How To Train Your Dragon, but in just a few short months we'll be seeing the release of the next instalment in the Dragons franchise with DreamWorks Animation's How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. And as is the way of the world we live in, there will be a videogame arriving to coincide with the release!

Are you ready for another incredible instalment of the Strange Brigade? Well, there's a whole new adventure for our hapless heroes to embark upon!

It's hard to believe that we are fast approaching November - before we know it, Xmas will be here and the year will be out. But hey, at least 2019 has a whole ton of great games to look forward to. Before that time though, once more Xbox One and Xbox 360 gamers have the opportunity to get themselves involved in a few new free games, with multiple experiences hitting the lives of Xbox Live Gold members throughout November and December - and the free ones this time round are some real big names!

Tis the season to go crazy and that is never more true than in the world of GTA Online. This week we see all manner of double GTA$ & RP bonuses arriving, a variety of Halloween modes, some T-Shirt unlocks, new vehicles and much more.
