Xbox free Games with Gold for May 2021: Lego Batman and more

Each month, Xbox gamers can download and play a selection of free games as part of an Xbox Live Gold subscription.

Xbox Live Gold is more than just free games though. It also gives Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One X, Xbox One S and even original Xbox One owners the chance to play multiplayer games online and discounts on many digital games on the Xbox Store.

Membership in the UK usually costs £17.99 for three-months or £49.99 for a whole year's membership when paid up front. Alternatively, you can choose to pay monthly for £6.99 a month.

In our opinion though, the best way to subscribe is through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. For just £10.99 per month, you get Xbox Live Gold membership, Xbox Game Pass with access to over 300 games to download and play, EA Play, xCloud cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, plus Xbox Game Pass for PC with more than 200 Windows 10 titles.

Here is the free Xbox Games with Gold list for May 2021:

Armello

• Available 1 to 31 May 2021

Armello is a digital tabletop RPG boardgame with online multiplayer play and very fancy visuals. It utilises cards and dice play across a beautifully animated landscape, with up to four players able to take part in a campaign to find out which of them will be crowned the new king or queen.

Dungeons 3

• Available 16 May to 15 June 2021

Crossing Bullfrog's classic Dungeon Keeper strategy game with RTS combat, the Dungeons series has grown with every iteration. Dungeons 3 is by far the most polished of the series, with some great dungeon building mechanics and Warcraft-style village raiding.

Lego Batman: The Videogame

• Available 1 to 15 May 2021

The first Lego Batman game was also the first Lego game to feature a completely original story. You take on the roles of Batman and Robin, battling and defeating the entire gamut of the heroes' infamous foes in, often, hilarious platformer fun.

Tropico 4

• Available 16 to 31 May 2021

Rounding off the strategy games available this month is the Xbox version of Tropico 4. In our eyes, it's one of the best in the series and offers some great island building activities.

Lego Batman and Tropico 4 are Xbox 360 games, available through backward compatibility. They are also available to Xbox 360 owners with Xbox Live Gold.

Of last month's free games, Truck Racing Championship will still be available for download until 15 May 2021.
