In terms of how Xbox Games with Gold performed this year, there are plenty of variables in what players might determine to be beneficial. But now as the year is on the verge from welcoming December for 2021, the list is to come to a conclusion once more for this year and is hoping to leave a greater impact upon entering 2022.

Back in October, we witnessed legacy hits such as Resident Evil Code: Veronica X alongside Castlevania: Harmony of Despair at the time. Atop of that, November the following month introduced family classics such as Lego Batman 2 DC Super Heroes and the more recent Moving Out. For December, it seems to be holding back truly pressing releases.

Next month, there are a total of four games as per usual, which are: The Escapists 2, Tropico 5 – Penultimate Edition, Orcs Must Die!, and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. You can watch the new showcase trailer in the video below:

On December 1st, both The Escapists 2 for Xbox One & Orcs Must Die! for Xbox 360 arrives to the program. The first is to stay until December 31 while the latter is only available until December 15. As December 16th comes, Tropico 5 – Penultimate Edition hits Xbox one players until January 15 whilst the remaining Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet comes to Xbox 360 until December 31.

Recently, Microsoft drastically expanded the Xbox 360 backwards compatibility library. However, the company went on to verify that this will be the last addition planned for the program for the foreseeable future. You can read the full report by heading here.
