Here’s what’s free this month.

Xbox One

Slime Rancher
Normal price: $19.99
Free availability: August 1 to August 31

Description: For Beatrix LeBeau, being a rancher can be tough. Especially when she moves a thousand light years away for her job! Add to that, she’s not wrangling cattle, she’s wrangling slimes. A lot of slimes! But there’s money to be made in slime science. Careful though, it’s a risky business when vacpacs and jetpacks are your tools.

Trials Fusion
Normal price: $19.99
Free availability: August 16 to September 15

Description: Powered by a top-notch physics system, Trials Fusion is packed with a wide variety of challenging levels encouraging you to pull off countless tricks and stunts. Prepare to show off in ways you never imagined with Trials‘ intuitive and addictive gameplay.

Xbox 360

Bayonetta
Normal price: $19.99
Free availability: August 1 to August 15

Description: Stylish, over-the-top finishing moves and epic set pieces push the limits of the action genre in Bayonetta. As a witch with magical powers and deadly weapons, you’ll flow gracefully in battle from one angelic enemy to the next in this critically acclaimed game.

Red Faction: Armageddon
Normal price: $29.99
Free availability: August 16 to August 31

Description: Save Mars from an ancient evil (that you accidentally unleashed) in Red Faction: Armageddon.

    <p>None of those are appealing. Yet another cinematic first person shooter, oh joy.</p>
