Why Microsoft Corporation Games With Gold Line-Up Needs To Improve

It’s time for Microsoft Corporation to step up its games with the Games with Gold offer

Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ:MSFT) answer to Playstation's Instant Game Collection has been somewhat underwhelming. With the exception of 'Rayman Legends', the list is yet to provide gamers with a title to convince them that Xbox One is indeed the right place for gaming.

Microsoft began its Games With Gold offer, which provided Xbox Live Gold members with free games every month. The first game that the company offered its customers was 'Fable III', since then it has offered numerous critically acclaimed games on Xbox 360, however its line-up on the Xbox One has not been all that good.

The company has developed a very customer-friendly base with the Xbox One. With memberships like EA Access, the Xbox One offers games at an insanely low price. However, its Games With Gold line-up has not particularly been great, especially when looking at Xbox One games that the membership has offered so far.

There is no doubt that the membership has been a great promoter for the indie games that would have had a hard time in gaining popularity otherwise. It has also managed to give a boost to small indie game developers by helping them in establishing a name. However, an outstanding game every now and then would be very welcoming, given that the console faces very stiff competition from the PlayStation 4.

This month's line-up is also a lackluster one, with Microsoft offering Xbox One gamers a chance to download 'CastleStorm' for free and Xbox 360 owners the opportunity to experience the mediocre 'Mafia II' along with F1 2013. Surely, nothing is bad for free but it is not a line-up that would make customers, who have not purchased the console, regret their decision.

To be fair to Microsoft, it has not been a long while since the Xbox One came out, and as the library of games on the console increases, the amount and quality of Games with Gold also increase. However, Microsoft's Xbox One is in a situation where it has to offer the best value if it is to compete with the overly popular PS4. It has to be an accumulation of services that Xbox One will have to offer if it is to beat the PS4. Price drops alone would not be enough to challenge PS' authority in regions like Europe.

The Xbox One now has a huge library of games, which are relatively old. However, the company could use them since most people demand triple A titles. Sony's Instant Game Collection has been slightly better than Games With Gold as it has already offered the likes of 'Injustice' and 'Infamous First Light', furthermore it usually gives its users the opportunity to cross-purchase games.

While Games With Gold is a promising membership, it needs to improve if it is to compete with its counterpart. These little things will go on to have a huge impact at a later stage on this generation of video games.
