Despite it’s rocky start, Microsoft’s Xbox Live “Free Games with Gold” program which has been dropping free games on the first and fifteenth of each month has been quite successful, thus the program will stick around longer then intended. Originally the program was intended as a “limited time” deal but now has been listed as an “on-going benefit” for Xbox gold members on the Xbox 360.
Since it’s launch after E3, we have received several games including DeadRising 2, Rainbow Six Vegas, and Assassins Creed 2. Currently, Halo 3 is available for free though the program. You can see the full press release info after the jump.

At E3 2013, we launched Games with Gold as a limited-time program to thank our Xbox Live Gold members. Within that short period of time, we’ve seen an overwhelming response, with more than 120 million hours played with Games with Gold titles. Today, as a part of the “Week of Xbox Live,” we’re excited to announce that we are making Games with Gold an ongoing benefit for Xbox Live Gold members on Xbox 360.
Whether they are blockbuster AAA or popular arcade titles, Games with Gold continues to offer a diverse mix of games with two free Xbox 360 titles a month – yours to keep and at no additional cost. According to recent surveys, 97 percent of participating members have given their stamp of approval for Games with Gold, and we’re excited to continue bringing you great games every month as part of our ongoing commitment to providing great value on Xbox 360.
