Disappointed by October Games with Gold? Xbox just added these free games

Games with Gold October 2021 has been announced, and for those who aren’t interested, there is an alternative.

For those Xbox Live Gold subscribers who don’t want to play Aaero or Castlevania: Harmony of Despair tomorrow, you can download several other titles to enjoy over the weekend.

Aaero is a game where you can speed along areas and trace ribbons of light while fighting epic boss battles.

The soundtrack features music from Noisia, Flux Pavilion, Katy B, The Prototypes, Neosignal, and more but boasts a mixed rating on Metacritic from gamers.

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair has a slightly higher score but is a backwards-compatible game from the Xbox 360 era.

So for those happy to skip these Games with Gold titles in October, there is an alternative list.

Starting today, Gold and Xbox Game Pass subscribers can download and play NASCAR Heat 5, Overcooked! 2, and Pathfinder: Kingmaker – Definitive Edition.

Each game is available to play in full until Monday, October 4 in the UK and have no restrictions when it comes to content.

These new Xbox free games can be found by clicking on the Subscriptions tab in the Xbox Store and entering the Gold member area to locate the Free Play Days collection on your Xbox One.

The big downside is that on Monday, all of these games will be put back behind a paywall again.

However, if you do enjoy playing them, you can buy them during the event at these reduced prices:

NASCAR Heat 5 – Standard Edition (19.99 SRP) at 60% off: $8.00.

Overcooked! 2 – Standard Edition (24.99 SRP) at 65% off: $8.75.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker – Definitive Edition – Standard Edition ($39.99 SRP) at 70% off: $12.00.

And you can find the full descriptions for all three games as provided by Xbox listed below:
