One of the main benefits of being an Xbox Live Gold subscriber is definitely the fact that each month you get access to a range of free games across the Xbox One and Xbox 360 platforms. If you’re an Xbox One owner, backwards compatibility means you get to take advantage of the Xbox 360 titles too.
This is a great way to try games you might not otherwise have played, whether because they're indie titles that slip under your radar or simply because you don’t have the funds to buy several games a month.
Even if you don’t have the console memory or the time to spare right now, we’d say it’s always worth claiming them every month anyway as you’ll then have free access to them for as long as you have an active Xbox Live account.
Since this is a monthly event, we’ve decided to create a one-stop shop where you’ll be able to find the newest free games, as well as scroll back and see which games were featured in previous months. That way you’ll know whether it’s worth holding out for a game to appear in an upcoming Games with Gold month or if it's already been offered.
So without further ado, here are the free Xbox Live games in North America, Europe, and Australia for August 2017.
Don't forget some of the July titles are still available too!
August 2017

You have the option to go it alone in career mode or play online and compete with friends and with the track editor you can even create your own new challenges.
Xbox 360
Bayonetta – August 1 to August 15 (usually £14.99/ $19.99/ AU $29.95)
Bayonetta could be classed as a simple hack and slash video game but at the same time it's so much more than that. Stylish and delightfully over the top, it has you take up the role of the eponymous witch who uses magic and a variety of insane weapons to defeat her enemies. It's critically acclaimed and for good reason.
Red Faction: Armageddon – August 16 to August 31 (usually £24.99/ $29.99/ AU $49.95)
Set fifty years after the first game in the franchise, this third person shooter tasks you with saving Mars from being destroyed after a short period of fifty years of peace.
