Games with Gold for August includes two original Xbox classics, Portal Knights and Override: Mech City Brawl

If you are looking for a set of free games to enjoy in August and you have an Xbox One lying around, it would be the best time to look into the Xbox Live Gold service. This time around, Xbox has come up with a unique blend of RPG, freestyle madness, and First-person shooter games. As always, we have two backward compatible Xbox/Xbox 360 and two Xbox One titles. Other than these Games with Gold, players will also get access to the multiplayer services of their games and exclusive discounts in the Microsoft store.

Portal Knights

It is an action-adventure sandbox RPG experience set in a world that is torn apart and terrorized by the Hollow King. Players can create their own characters, forge weapons and embark on an epic journey that will take them to the different procedurally generated islands. You can also interact with the NPCs and create amazing structures in the islands too.

Override: Mech City Brawl

Experience a full-length campaign, and a plethora of local and online battles while piloting gigantic Mechs in Override: Mech City Brawl. Each of the 12 Mechs has its own customization options that let you mold your Mech into a machine that wreaks havoc on the environments inspired by real-life locations.

MX unleashed

It is a freestyle motorcycle game that takes you back in the original Xbox era. You can perform stunts on specially designed tracks and unlock a large variety of supercross and freestyle venues. Most importantly, you can enjoy the nostalgic experience at a higher resolution than you remember.

Red Faction II

Experience a classic first-person shooter that lets you fight and overthrow a corrupt dictator and his government. Lead a squad with five special fighters each with their unique abilities ranging from demolition to gunships and fight for the oppressed people of the commonwealth.
