Microsoft has just revealed the lineup of titles that will go free via the Games with Gold program in May, starting with CastleStorm: Definitive Edition for Xbox One, and continuing with Mafia 2 and F1 2013 for the Xbox 360.

Games with Gold is Microsoft's answer to Sony's PlayStation Plus program, as it brings Xbox Live Gold subscribers one extra advantage on top of the many other features they get for their money, in the form of free monthly games.

Interesting free games arrive for Gold users in May

After bringing twice the amount of free games in honor of Xbox Live's popularity in April, Microsoft has just revealed on the Xbox Wire the May lineup for Games with Gold.

First up, for Xbox One users with Gold subscriptions, Microsoft is bringing forth CastleStorm: Definitive Edition, the ambitious side-scrolling tower defense brawler mashup that already delighted many fans across the PC, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, and many other platforms.

The Definitive Edition includes not just visual improvements but also the two expansions, and all the great extra surprises in the standard version, like online multiplayer, co-op, and more.

What's more, this month, Xbox One owners can also get Pool Nation FX, which was initially included in the April lineup. Apparently the game is quite popular, so Microsoft is adding one extra month of free availability.

Meanwhile, between May 1 and May 15, Xbox 360 owners can get Mafia 2, the open-world sandbox experience published by 2K Games, which puts them in the shoes of a young up-and-coming mobster.

Between May 16 and 31, they can get F1 2013, the racing simulator made by Codemasters, which allows them to live a full career of an open-wheel racing car driver.

Make sure to get the current April titles until May 1, while they're still available. Check out a few screenshots of the upcoming games below.
