Happy Halloween! Microsoft has delivered the first two Games with Gold titles for November a day early. And both of them—Battlefield 1 and the original Assassin’s Creed—-are must-haves.
As a reminder, the Games with Gold promotion provides free Xbox One and Xbox 360 games each month for those with Xbox Live Gold memberships. All Xbox 360 games in this promotion also work on Xbox One in Backward Compatibility mode too. So Xbox One users with Xbox Live Gold subscriptions are technically getting at least four free games each month.
