The Force is with Games with Gold in May

It’s May 1 and you know what that means: Another four free games for Xbox Live Gold subscribers courtesy of Microsoft’s Games with Gold promotion. There’s a little something for everyone this month, but especially Star Wars fans.

Reminder: All Xbox 360 games in the Games for Gold promotion also work on Xbox One in Backwards Compatibility mode too. So Xbox One users with Xbox Live Gold subscriptions are technically getting four free games each month.
