Microsoft has confirmed that its Games With Gold scheme will indeed be coming to Xbox One.
Games With Gold grants paying Xbox Live subscribers to access to one or two free games every month. It’s effectively a counter to Sony’s popular Instant Games Collection, which allows free access to a wide variety of titles to PlayStation Plus members.
Microsoft recently confirmed the continuation of Games With Gold on Xbox 360 but has now for the first time said the scheme will be coming to Xbox One.
