Nice!

@Blabadon: Since the TC is too lazy to provide a link.

Was interested in the Banner Saga. Good stuff.

Banner Saga 2 will be free? Wtf, I just recently bought the first game lol

Wow, I really enjoyed the first banner saga.

Ok selections but I'm interested what they will offer for the Free Play Days too. They went back to back to back with that and it was pretty good.

Looks better than last month, which was terrible besides the 360 games.

thats crazy, banner saga 2 doesn't even come out on Xbox until July 1st.

Never even played the first Banner Saga game. Cool that they have the second for free though.

Nice line-up...looks like GwG is beating the pants off of PS+ lately.

@Renevent42: true, but their deals with gold are laughable. PS kills em in sales.

Banner Saga 2 alone makes July a good month.

Wrong. PS+ got NBA 2K16 this month. GwG got Goat Simulator.

Yup,Goat Simulator > NBA

@comchild: "PS kills em in sales."

Examples?

Already owned R6 Vegas so getting 2 is cool and Banner Saga is something I wanted to look into. Thank you MS

that's a lot of games, all within a month. It was nice to get a free week of EA Access, and I did pick up Horizon 2 for $25 which was nice, but I haven't seen any sales on the same scale that PS offers. Please correct me if I am wrong, I only got an X1 this past Christmas, and they did have a pretty nice sale going on at that time, and I believe they have a summer sale coming up next week, so that might be good too.

Yeah, don't care about a basketball game.

spoken like a true nerd that probably never touched a sports ball in his life.

because posting in a video game message board really isn't nerdy at all...right?

Xbox also had NBA 2k16, WWE 2k16, and EA Access which contained a plethora of full retail games like sports games unlocked during Free Play Days. Free Play Days are becoming more frequent and the norm and they're all free at no extra cost for Xbox while you're force to pay if you want to access rental type games on PS with PSNow.
