Explore the worlds of two unique, narrative-driven games this June with Games with Gold! On Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, sticking to one critical moral decision is harder than you think in the poignant Adios, and then starting on June 16 listen closely as you try the outside-of-the box audio driven adventure The Vale: Shadow of the Crown.

Xbox Live Gold members will have exclusive access to these games for a limited time as part of Games with Gold. So will Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members, who receive all the fantastic benefits of Gold plus access to hundreds of high-quality games with Xbox Game Pass.

• Adios ($17.99 ERP): Available June 1 to 30
• The Vale: Shadow of the Crown ($19.99 ERP): Available June 16 to July 15

Adios

One choice can change everything. You are a pig farmer in Kansas who has finally had enough of your role helping the mob dispose of bodies on your farm. Your hitman friend tries to convince you to change your mind as the two of you go about the errands of the day. He knows what saying no means. This is a meditative thoughtful game that reflects on morality and spirituality with compelling writing and phenomenal voice acting. Will this be goodbye?

The Vale: Shadow of the Crown

You can close your eyes and listen. This is one of the most unique adventures you’ll experience that leverages sound and haptic controller feedback in an audio-based adventure. Break down the barriers between you as the player and your character as you feel your enemy’s breath, listen to the crunching of footsteps or the clang of weapons. Combat is intense and very different than other combat and fantasy games.

Read more about our Games with Gold program here and stay tuned to Xbox Wire for all the latest news on Xbox. Like we said before, if you are an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member, you get all the benefits of Xbox Live Gold, hundreds of high-quality games you can play on console, PC, and across devices from the cloud, and access to EA Play at no extra cost.

Microsoft should just give "Adios" to GWG , we are tired of so many shitty games.

ADIOS GAMES WITH GOLD!

 

[NeonGhost]

 

[StereoVsn]

Yeah, trash streak continues. Don't even remember last time we got a decent game.

 

[mitch1971]

They should rename it GAME ASS.

 

[Tsaki]

Same price as Essential btw.

[lughnasadh123]

There's far cheaper ways for people to pay to take it up the ass.

[mrmustard]

Take it behind the barn and.....

 

[Banjo64]

This is just Game Pass on a smaller scale.

 

[[Sigma]]

Damn Phil

Imagine if Jim tried to do this to PS Plus Essentials.

 

[Esppiral]

Adiós

 

[SpiceRacz]

 

[Lone Wolf]

Amazing AAA games as usual. Thank you Xbox.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Adios, what a fitting name for GWG. Fool's gold.

 

[Luigi Mario]

Yeah, trash streak continues. Don't even remember last time we got a decent game.

The last good month for GWG was ironically enough also the last month where they offered an original Xbox and Xbox 360 game.

 

[tylrdiablos]

 

[SubZero_Wins]

Garbage With Gold.

 

[diffusionx]

I've never heard of either of these games.

 

[buenoblue]

I don't even know what these games are anymore on gold lol. And I know a lot of games

 

[Roberts]

I have played The Vale. Its intentions are good but good luck having any fun with it. That said, I just read about Adios and it actually sounds like a pretty good game. Good scores on Steam, too.

 

[R6Rider]

 

[Drizzlehell]

 

[just_jr]

why even bother lol

 

[DenchDeckard]

 

[Dr_Ifto]

When was the last time there was a good game on GWG?

 

[jshackles]

 

[THE DUCK]

Holy crap.......why even bother.......

 

[Portugeezer]

Probably offered $1000 to the developers of those games.

 

[Gudji]

 

[Trogdor1123]

That’s a signal if there ever was

 

[OmegaSupreme]

 

[Captain Toad]

A game is a game. Quality isn't going to move the fanbase in any significant way.

Now, I sound like a beloved CEO.

 

[MikeM]

Phil really earning that third place finish with efforts like this.

At least try. Jesus…

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

My gold runs out in July.
I'm going to step away from it and online Xbox play.

 

[Captain Toad]

It's a tall task to consistently give games where the player base would have been happier getting nothing at all. But, they keep managing to do it. Impressive stuff.

 

[ChoosableOne]

Phil thinks he can't save this service with great games and it's true, this time.

 

[dotnotbot]

The last good month for GWG was ironicallly enough also the last month where they offered an original Xbox and Xbox 360 game.

They should've done the opposite, transform GWG into service offering only older titles from Xbox 1st and 360.

 

[Captain Toad]

Phil thinks he can't save this service with great games and it's true, this time.

He has to try, first.

 

[ChoosableOne]

He has to try, first.

He probably afraid to get another award for it.

 

[Mr Moose]

I am sure that Adios game was free recently on PC (Prime Gaming page or Epic), I didn't bother adding it to library though.
Oh cool, Fallout New Vegas is free on Epic at the moment.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Cant remember the last time I downloaded a GWG freebie. Might had been KoF 13.
