One of the Xbox Free Games With Gold for May 2022 Should Be Familiar to Longtime Subscribers

gamerant.com:

Every month, Xbox Live Gold subscribers can count on a new batch of free games to claim for their digital libraries. Xbox Live Gold subscribers have seven games to claim for May 2022, with four part of the official lineup and three released as bonus games. Most of the time, the Xbox free Games with Gold games are new in the sense that they've never been available on the service before, but one of the free games is an exception to that rule.

For one reason or another, Microsoft has decided to have a «rerun» of sorts with one of the Xbox free Games with Gold games for May 2022. Hydro Thunder Hurricane is one of the Xbox 360 offerings when it comes to the free Games with Gold lineup, but longtime subscribers may recall that it has actually been one of the free games before. In fact, Hydro Thunder Hurricane was actually one of the Xbox free Games with Gold games for September 2017.

But even though dedicated Xbox Live Gold subscribers may already have Hydro Thunder Hurricane as part of their collection, they should still have plenty of games to claim. Besides the other three games that are an official part of the Xbox free Games with Gold games for May 2022 lineup, Microsoft has decided to give subscribers three bonus games this month for unknown reasons.

Along with Hydro Thunder Hurricane, The Inner World — The Last Wind Monk, Viva Pinata: Party Animals, and Yoku's Island Express, Xbox Live Gold subscribers can also claim Braid, Cloning Clyde, and Joe Danger 2: The Movie. It's unclear why these games are free for Xbox Live Gold subscribers, and it's also unclear exactly how long they will be, so anyone interested should be sure to claim them
