Xbox Live Gold Subscribers Get 3 Bonus Games for May 2022

gamerant.com:

Every month, Microsoft gives its Xbox Live Gold subscribers four games to claim for their digital libraries, with two titles from the Xbox 360 generation and two Xbox One games to grab. There are exceptions to this rule, as sometimes Microsoft gives away bonus free games. This is the case for May 2022, with Microsoft giving away a whopping three additional games for Xbox Live Gold subscribers to claim for the month of May.

On top of the previously announced Xbox free Games with Gold games for May 2022, Microsoft has added Braid, Cloning Clyde, and Joe Danger 2: The Movie to the mix. Out of these, Braid is easily the most notable, as while it's an old game at this point, it still earned critical acclaim and won numerous awards. In fact, Braid is often pointed to as one of the best indie games ever made, so any Xbox Live Gold subscribers that have never played it have a great opportunity on their hands.

First Xbox Free Games With Gold Available a Day Early

That's not to say that Cloning Clyde and Joe Danger 2: The Movie aren't of interest. Cloning Clyde is an obscure puzzle platformer with 4-player local co-op. It didn't set the world on fire when it first released, but it has a 5-star total rating in the Microsoft Store, and since it's free, anyone interested in the genre or co-op games should definitely consider giving it a shot. Joe Danger 2: The Movie, meanwhile, is a generally well-received platformer developed by Hello Games, the same studio behind No Man's Sky. Removal dates have not been announced for any of the three games at the time of this writing, so subscribers should grab them as soon as possible.

These three free games join the previously announced Xbox free Games with Gold games for May 2022. From now until
