Xbox Games with Gold August 2016 free games latest news: Triple-A titles up for grabs

With a week to go before August drops in, Xbox Live Gold subscribers are itching to find out what titles would be included in the lineup of games to be given away free. This, even though Microsoft is yet to announce which titles are up for grabs without obligation when Games with Gold for August 2016 launches.

There are speculations that "Red Dead Redemption" would be among those included in the August lineup after it failed to be in the July roster. The game, which was developed by Rockstar San Diego and released by Rockstar Games in May 2010, has crept its way to the grapevine recently after rumors of a sequel were released during Gamescom 2016.

Seeing as how there is an Xbox One backward compatibility for the game, including it among the Xbox Games with Gold August 2016 free games could hype up the sequel.

Another title said to be included in the list is "Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition." It has been four years since Square Enix published the game, and the price for it has significantly dropped. Thus, including it in the list of free games would be logical.

"Ryse: Son of Rome" was published by Microsoft Studios on Nov. 22, 2013, but the game failed to take off the ground. Adding the game to this year's list could make an impact on Xbox Gold subscribers.

The Bitbag hints at other titles that subscribers could expect from the lineup of free games such as "Bioshock," "Bioshock 2," "Bioshock Infinite," and "Skate 3."

However, until Microsoft releases an official announcement, fans should keep in mind that the mention of these titles is based on speculations. At any rate, additional triple-A titles for August 2016 might be announced before July ends, according to Chatt Sports Net.

Until then, keep coming back for updates and further details about Xbox Games with Gold August 2016 free game titles.
