YOU can bag a load of free games for Xbox, PS4 and PC this week.
We reveal how to claim dozens of freebies, including one of the best Call of Duty games of all time.
Free Xbox games – August 2020
You can get the free games on Xbox if you subscribe to Xbox Live Gold – something that’s required for online play.
These are yours to keep for as long as you have your Xbox Live Gold membership running.
- Buy Xbox Gold one-month membership – £6.99 (UK) / $9.99 (US)
It’s a great selection of games for August, with a total value of $80/£80.
The first freebie is Portal Knights, a 3D action sandbox RPG.
You can level up and explore dozens of randomly generated islands, create structures and interact with local inhabitants.
Next up on the freebie roster is Override: Mech City Brawl.
It’s ostensibly a fighting game about giant mechs battling massive aliens.
There’s a full-length campaign, online multiplayer modes, and 12 different mechs that you can pilot.
Third on the list is MX Unleashed, a popular freestyle motorcycle game from the original Xbox.
This iconic 2004 title will have you weaving around course obstructions, and seeking adrenaline-pumping jumps to earn huge hiscores.
Finally, Xbox owners will be able to claim a copy of Red Faction II.
It’s a classic first-person shooter set on Mars in the year 2080.
You’ll work to overthrow a corrupt dictator, five years on from a rebellion on Mars.

There are two free games available with PS Plus this month.
The first is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered.
As the name suggests, it’s a remastering of the hugely popular campaign mode that appeared in Modern Warfare 2.
The hit 2009 shooter received critical acclaim, in part for its excellent campaign mode.
And a remastered version of the game was released in March this year.
The second game available for free is Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout.
It’s a multiplayer obstacle racing game with a Battle Royale twist – and will be loved by fans of Ninja Warrior or Takeshi’s Castle.
Better still, the game is very new, coming out in August 2020 – so it’s effectively free upon release.
