Games with Gold February 2019 NEWS and Free Xbox One games update TODAY

Microsoft has yet to announce their Games with Gold lineup for February 2019.

And it’s unclear just when this new Xbox One free games news will be revealed, as the tech giant doesn’t have a set day to do it on.

January’s reveal came on December 20, meaning we could see a big Games with Gold reveal happen any day this week.

Until then, Xbox Live Gold subscribers can download the current crop of titles, including Celeste and WRC 6.

And there is another free game launching on Xbox One this week, which will require an active Gold subscription.

Realm Royale, the team Battle Royale title from Hi-Rez Studios, is available to download on Xbox One and PS4.

Starting today, the new Realm Royale open beta allows for access to anyone with a console.

It should be noted that an active Xbox Live Gold subscription is required to play online.

“As we enter a new stage of development, we have established great fundamental gameplay over the Alpha period.

“We now are looking to bring our patch cadence to standard 2-week patch cycle, highlighting balance and fixes with each patch, and new exciting feature releases every month.

“We are also entering a stable pipeline of new content entering the game. Battle Passes will be arriving on a regular schedule throughout the year, allowing players to continue unlocking content as they play matches!

“As a thank you to everyone who participated in the PC Alpha, we will be sending the Founding Forgers Title and Avatar out to players that tested Realm Royale prior to the Open Beta. Use these items to showcase your experience in the Realm.

“We look forward to a great year for Realm Royale; 2019 is a year of new horizons.”

Realm Royale will remain a free-to-play title for the foreseeable future and joins the likes of Fortnite and Smite.

For those who don’t know, Games with Gold offers free Xbox games to qualifying Xbox Live Gold members.

The program provides Gold members with free games every month, worth up to $700 per year, according to Microsoft.

Games with Gold is available to all Xbox Live Gold members, which can be redeemed from the Gold widget on the Xbox One home screen.

Titles can also be found if you download the Xbox One SmartGlass app, and go to the Microsoft Store and then page right.

When you select a game, it’ll be stored in your account and ready for download when you sign in to your console.

It should also be noted that new Games with Gold titles become available on the first and the sixteenth day of every month.
