Both of the games mentioned below can be played on any of the existing Xbox platforms, including the Xbox Series X/S via backward compatibility.
Xbox Games With Gold For July 2023
In the month of July, 2023, Xbox Games With Gold offers the following lineup:
- Darkwood ($14.99 ERP): Available July 1 to 31
- When the Past was Around ($8.49 ERP): Available July 16 to August 15
Darkwood presents a distinctive brand of survival horror gaming that generates tension through a gradual, atmospheric approach rather than relying on sudden frights. While the sun illuminates the surroundings, you will set out to explore the tainted forest’s expansive realm to scavenge essential weaponry and resources. However, as the sun descends, you must seek refuge within your fortifications, utilizing any available traps and barriers, all while hoping to either evade or confront the malevolent beings that emerge in the shadows.
In When the Past was Around, players will embark on a journey to uncover the poignant and poignant love tale of Eda and Owl, delving into the enigmas presented in a visually stunning point-and-click adventure featuring meticulously hand-drawn artwork and a musical composition. You will be required to prepare for a tranquil and contemplative experience in In When the Past was Around, as you navigate through a surreal realm composed of fragmented rooms from both memory and time, allowing for introspection on the intricacies of love and the pangs of separation.
