Microsoft has officially announced August 2022's Xbox Games with Gold, giving us a look at four more games we'll be able to play at no extra cost with our Gold memberships next month.
In case you missed it, the games are Xbox One titles Calico and ScourgeBringer, along with two backwards compatible Xbox 360 offerings in the form of Saints Row 2 and Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine.
The first games will be made available hopefully this Sunday, so we want to know how you feel about next month's selection, as well as which title you're most looking forward to below. Happy with the choice on offer for August?
Let us know how you're feeling about August 2022's Xbox Games With Gold below.

GWG needs to improve or be gone. Trash compared to PS+ games.
Saints row 2, nice. An actually gold game I could see myself playing! The last one was little nightmares January of last year 🤣
Sadly deeply disappointed in Game With Gold
Saints row 2 is good for me, maybe scourgebringer and Monaco.
For games with golds standard these are actually pretty decent. If Gold was your gran she’d still be on life support but maybe twitched her finger today…
I had fully intended to buy Calico on Switch but now I guess I don't "have" to unless I really like it!
I love saints 2. Be running around in the nud again then.
I've just done a playthrough of saints row & saints row 2 love the classic ones
Saints Row 2 is a joy but I already paid 1.49 for it on a sale.
I am not usually a GWG moaner.... but both 360 games being repeats! That's a kick in the nuts for long time loyal customers Microsoft. Come on. Terrible!!!
I now expect the final month to be bad too, I had expected them to go out with a bang, it'll probably be a whimper. Ah well.
@JetmanUK Final month? Is it being switched off?
@BundyDanger Yeah, they are stopping the Xbox 360/OG Xbox games. I believe we have one last month left.
Right now we get two Xbox One games and two Xbox 360/OG Xbox games per month, going forward we don't know if that changes to four Xbox One games, or a mix of Xbox One and Xbox Series games, we don't even know the quantity of games yet either.
@JetmanUK Roger that. Thanks for the clarification mate.
I own SR2 already, for everyone else, I'd say this gives people all they need to skip the Saint's Row reboot.
They need to scrap Games with Gold or drastically improve it.
PS+ is getting Yakuza: Like A Dragon, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 and Little Nightmares.
Compare those to these and it's an absolute embarrassment.
I guess that the Xbox 360 games that they could offer are over. It's a pity that some Xbox 360 and many Xbox games were not made backwards compatible but what can be done about legal issues?
I'm actually playing SR2 right now. I got it on sale years ago after too many faulty discs. Its a good game. Plays pretty well for a fairly old 360 game
Saints Row 2 is an awesome game that I'd recommend to people who don't have it. Beyond that, it's a meh group of offerings in comparison to what will be on PS Plus.
@blinx01 While I agree these games aren't as good, one major point you're overlooking is that you have to stay subscribed to PS Plus to play those games. That's not the case on Xbox. Those games with gold are yours to keep regardless of your subscription status.
