May is going to be an incredible month for Xbox users, thanks to Games With Gold

In an unnaturally early move, Microsoft has revealed the four games that Xbox Live Gold subscribers will receive next month, as part of its Games With Gold promotion. It’s a doozy of a list, too, so it’s no wonder that they couldn’t wait to share the news.

May 2018 will not only bring warmer weather and flowery blooms to North America; it will also offer two notable Xbox One games for no cost whatsoever. Things will begin with the fun looking arcade sports title, Super Mega Baseball 2. It will then be followed by something big, that being Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which was previously given away on PS Plus.

On the Xbox 360 side of things, it’ll be an all-SEGA month. The SEGA Vintage Collection version of Streets of Rage will be free from May 1st to 15th, before making way for Vanquish, which was arguably one of the best games of the last generation. If you haven’t played it, you must.
