Summer has been heating up and while traditionally it's a season that's slower for new game releases, Games With Gold is covering you with a new wave of games to enjoy for free in August.

With July coming to a close, Microsoft has revealed the lineup of next month's Games With Gold titles that users will be able to grab for free, which includes a nice range of games across numerous genres, and even includes last year's melee-focused For Honor from Ubisoft, among others. Xbox One owners will also have the chance to check out Dead Space 3 and Epic Mickey 2, both of which being Xbox 360 titles that are available to play through backwards compatibility.

The full list of games and their dates of availability are below:

  • Forze Horizon 2 (August 1 - 31)
  • For Honor (August 16 - September 15)
  • Dead Space 3 (August 1 - 15)
  • Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two (August 16 - 31)

As usual with the Games With Gold program, each of these titles will be available for system owners to add to their library with an active Xbox Live Gold membership, and once added to your library, they are yours to keep forever.
