In the past, the Games with Gold announcements have been made on or around the 22nd of the month, so it does feel that with this month, the release has been slightly delayed. Xbox also usually announces their lineup of free games before Playstation does, so at least they’ve stayed consistent in that arena.
It’s not too late to get your hands on some ofMay’s Games with Goldfreebies, which includeSuper Mega Baseball 2,Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain,Sega Vintage Collection: Streets of Rage, andVANQUISH.
