JAKARTA - Microsoft sent an email to Xbox Live Gold subscribers warning that there will be no more Xbox 360 games on offer starting October 1.

Games with Gold is a monthly benefit for Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. Microsoft will select a free game each month, and all Xbox 360 titles can be played on the latest Xbox Series X/S consoles and Xbox One.

Launching from Xbox Mag, this program has been running for almost 10 years, from 2013. But apparently, the company has made the decision to no longer offer it to customers.

"We have reached the limit of our ability to bring Xbox 360 games to the catalog," the company wrote in an email, quoted from The Verge.

There are nearly 230 Xbox 360 games that Microsoft offers to Xbox Live Gold members, then to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.

However, the tech giant confirmed to its players that Games with Gold will continue to include exciting Xbox One titles and exclusive savings every month. Don't worry, you can still play or download Xbox 360 games before October 2022.

"All Xbox 360 titles that you redeemed through Games with Gold before that time will remain yours in your Xbox account, regardless of whether you continue your subscription," the company continued.
