Games with Gold April 2018: Xbox's FREE games release set for Major Nelson reveal SOON
Xbox One Games with Gold subscribers are STILL waiting on Microsoft to reveal the new Xbox Games with Gold April 2018 titles.
Typically Microsoft announces their new quartet of free titles around the 20th-22nd of every month.
But this past week, Microsoft has been mysteriously quiet with their new announcement from Major Nelson.
Perhaps that's because they've been fully focused on launching Sea of Thieves, which has been the consoles first proper exclusive for quite some time.
But with Sony likely to reveal their new PS Plus April 2018 games this coming Wednesday, we suspect Microsoft will reveal their own April 2018 Games with Gold games on Monday or Tuesday this coming week.
Rarely does Microsoft announce their new games later than the 27th of each month and we doubt they'll break the habit of a lifetime.
But as for what games we might see included, there's no telling, as unfortunately there's been no leaks to hit the web (yet) this month.
Thankfully though, we don't have that much longer to wait.
NEW Xbox One Games rumoured to be in development

For those unfamiliar with how Games with Gold works – perhaps for anyone who only got their first Xbox in the last month – here's a quick explainer:
Every month Xbox Live Gold members will receive four new free games – two on Xbox One and two on Xbox 360.
Typically, Games With Gold includes two titles available for a period of two weeks and another two available for a month. It can get confusing and you don't want to accidentally miss out on downloading a great game, so it's worth marking the dates down on your calendar to ensure you don't miss out.
Equally, you shouldn't forget that two of the games included are from the Xbox 360 era, and that means both titles can be played on your Xbox One thanks to the console's backwards compatibility features.
Plus, now that the Xbox One has a dedicated Xbox 360 backwards compatibility store, you can easily search for, find, and download these games should you forget to download them for free during Games with Gold.
