Xbox Live Gold Offers ‘Blue Fire’ And ‘Inertial Drift’ For August
by Sage Ashford
Xbox has confirmed the last games being added to their Games with Gold service, as players get access to Blue Fire and Inertial Drift for the entire month. Xbox Wire gives a brief overview of both games:
“Blue Fire: Evil forces have taken over the world of Penumbra. They need a warrior of light and darkness! Embark on a journey to explore temples filled with 3D platforming challenges, battle wild enemies, and go on side quests. Master the art of movement as you face increasingly challenging Void Puzzles and unlock the secrets that will save the day.”

“Inertial Drift: Can you master the perfect drift? Drive through a 90s retro future in this arcade racing game that leverages a unique handling model and twin-stick drift mechanices. Choose from 16 unique cars across 20 wild tracks to tear through the neon streets. Rev up your skills in single-player story move and then prove you’re the best in multiplayer.”
For Xbox Live Gold members, they’ll be switched over to Game Pass Core starting September 14th, with the Games with Gold program finally coming to an end on September 1st. Fortunately, games redeemed under Games with Gold though will still be available for people who maintain their Game Pass subscriptions. It was a good run for what was the original subscription service for consoles, though ideally the upcoming Xbox Game Pass Core service will offer more relevant games than the Games with Gold service, which just seemed to offer anything they could just to keep saying they offered free games.
