The next wave of free Xbox Games with Gold titles have been announced. We've taken a look at all the free games Xbox Live Gold members will be able to get their hands on below.
First up is Overcooked. This is a co-op party game where players must team up to prepare a variety of meals for hungry customers. Preparing meals can get very frantic and all sorts of problems can go wrong.
As you play Overcooked for longer, you'll be taken to wackier restaurant locations with even more absurd things happening in the kitchen. Overcooked is frantic, action packed and an excellent game to play with your friends.
Over on the Xbox 360, Stuntman Ignition is available up until October 15. In this game, you get to control a variety of different stunt vehicles as you perform stunts on a movie set.
It's a game that'll put you through the paces and send you on a variety of action-packed challenges. The game certainly has a limited life span, but it's incredibly fun for the first

Out of nowhere, Mojang has announced a brand new Minecraft game.
The new game is called Minecraft: Dungeons and it takes Minecraft to new territories.
Mojang has unveiled that Minecraft: Dungeons is more like a side project that will exist alongside the original Minecraft game.
As the name suggests, Minecraft: Dungeons is a dungeon crawler game. It uses the same engine and existing Minecraft assets, but it will be an entirely different gameplay experience.
In Minecraft: Dungeons, up to four players will be able to join up to fight through underground levels, battling new mobs, bosses, and collecting loot.
The environments in Minecraft: Dungeons will be procedurally generated, but players will go through small levels, as opposed to the main Minecraft game which has an infinite open world.
Despite the announcement for Minecraft: Dungeons, development for the main Minecraft game isn't slowing down. Mojang has kept to their promise to keep pushing free

Fortnite season 6 has dropped and it's easily one of the most exciting seasons we've seen so far. Here is a quick overview on everything that has been added in season 6.
First, let's start with the new map locations.
In season 6, four new locations have been added - corrupted areas, corn fields, and haunted castle. The fourth place is a large floating island that moves around the map. There are also other changes spread throughout the map.
The season 6 battle pass is also filled with 100 new cosmetic items and plenty of other rewards. There are two new evolving skins - one called Calamity and another called Dire.
Both advance as you level up your battle pass. The Dire skin is perhaps the best we’ve seen so far - you start off as an ordinary man but slowly turn into a wolf as the skin evolves.
There are of course many other great skins in the new battle pass, including the Nightshade pumpkin head skin.
Pets have been added to Fortnite, as well.

With October starting, Sony has announced their free PS Plus games for the month. As Halloween will be taking part later this month, Sony has thrown in Friday the 13th to kick things off, alongside a number of other titles.
As mentioned before, Friday the 13th is easily the highlight of this month's free PS4 games. In Friday the 13th, one player gets to play as Jason Voorhees, while up to six other players must play as teen counselors.
The counselors must attempt to escape their location, while Jason gets to use a variety of tools and abilities to track them down.
The counselor players must communicate and work together to prepare a plan to escape. Playing as the counselors gives you a sense of panic and tension, while playing Voorhees is just as exciting, but for completely different reasons.
After that, we have Laser League. This is a fun multiplayer game that tests your reflexes and critical thinking. Laser League is very easy to pick up, but it takes lots

COD Blackout has been up and available on beta for PS4 pre-orderers this week and we’ve had the chance to get our hands on it.
We have to say that we’re very impressed with what we’ve seen so far. There was a lot of criticism directed toward Activision when the Blackout mode was announced, but we think that’ll all be dropped once everybody gets their hands on the game.
In Blackout, 88 players join the same open world map. Just like other battle royale games, the idea is that only one player or team can survive.
You’ll choose where you land and from there you must pick up loot scattered around the world. You’ll find everything from SMGs to RPGs on the ground, as well as a range of utility items.
Blackout also has a selection of vehicles in the world, including helicopters, large trucks, and ATVs. This is very exciting to see - vehicles are something we haven’t seen in Call of Duty for a very, very long time.
The vehicles work smoothly, but they fit into

Dying Light: Bad Blood has just launched as a brand new battle royale game based in the Dying Light universe.
Bad Blood actually uses the same world and game elements from the first Dying Light game, so it’s more like a standalone expansion than a full new experience.
Right now, it’s available to purchase under early access, but soon it should be available for everybody to play for free.
You’re probably sick and tired of seeing new battle royale games, but you might want to give Bad Blood a try because it’s a vastly different experience.
In Bad Blood, there are only twelve players per map. Players must focus on collecting blood samples as they fight zombies and collect better loot.
As you collect blood samples, you’ll inevitably come across other players and may need to fight them to the death. Not long after the game starts, a helicopter will land down and all remaining players will need to rush to the helicopter to be picked up.
Only the player

State of Decay 2 has just received a brand new DLC expansion. This new expansion adds a brand new game mode called Daybreak.
Daybreak is essentially a co-op zombie defense game mode. In Daybreak, up to four players must work together as they play elite soldiers equipped with high tier weapons.
Players must defend against waves of zombies as they wait for a technician to repair a satellite relay. That's not so important, but it provides a platform for the wave based chaos to be born upon.
There are a total of seven waves in each match of Daybreak. As you progress through each wave, the zombies become tougher and more numerous.
On top of the new Daybreak mode, a new zombie has been added. It's called the blood plague juggernaut. As the name suggests, this thing is huge. If you get hit by this thing, you'll be infected with the blood plague. More hits will make your infection meter rise quickly.
The new DLC also adds six new melee weapons, nine new ranged

If you play Fortnite on the PS4, you might want to make sure your PS Plus membership is up to date. Sony and Epic Games have teamed up again to offer more free Fortnite loot for PS Plus members.
The new loot includes a brand new glider, a new pickaxe, and a new trail. Admittedly, the glider is quite simple, but it's a nice thank you to the PlayStation players, regardless.
The glider you get from the new PS Plus subscription freebie can be seen in the image above.
The other two items are far more exciting. The first of which is a new contrail that adds four lights that mimic the four PlayStation colors out of your hands and feet.
The pickaxe is a very interesting item, too. It's made out of rubberized plastic and shares the same colors as the PS4 controller. On the top of the pickaxe there are two joysticks that mimic the DualShock 4 joysticks and there is even a small USB charging port added.
The new pickaxe is certainly quite unique and there’s nothing

In anticipation for the Red Dead Redemption 2 release, Rockstar Games has just announced a large line of Red Dead merchandise.
All of the new merch can be purchased directly from the Rockstar Warehouse on Rockstar's website.
All of the merchandise has been pinned under a new section called the Outlaw Essentials collection.
There are multiple dozen different items that are themed around outlaws and Red Dead in general. Alongside your standard t-shirts, you'll also find logo stickers, puzzles, phone cases, a bottle opener, a shot glass, and even a Zippo lighter.
It should be noted that all of the new merch has been launched already. None of the merchandise will be shipped with copies of Red Dead Redemption 2 but there are a number of limited versions of the game that do come with some sweet exclusive physical

Epic Games has launched another brand new starter pack for Fortnite. This time, it contains a brand new skin, new back bling, and some V-Bucks.
It’s a great offer for anybody interested in getting more V-Bucks or for those that are interested in purchasing their first skin.
As seen above, the new Ace Skin is themed similarly to the upcoming High Stakes Wild Card skin. It shares the same sci-fi-like bank robbery theme. The same can be said about the back bling, which is essentially a large duffel bag filled with money.
You can purchase the new Ace starter pack on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC, or mobile. The pack costs $5 and it comes with 600 V-Bucks.
When you consider that the cheapest V-Bucks option costs $10 and comes with 1,000 V-Bucks, this bundle is certainly worth the money.
