Amazon is currently selling an entire year of Xbox Live Gold at a 33% discount. Whether you have an Xbox One, an Xbox 360, or both, a Gold membership makes your console experience significantly better. And with today’s $20 discount in play, it’s hard to pass up.
Xbox Live GoldIf you want to play multiplayer games online, Xbox Live Gold is a must. Not only will you be able to go head-to-head with random strangers from all over the world, but the robust party and voice chat system allow you to pair up with your friends to take on everyone else. And if you’re playing on an Xbox One, you’ll only need to invest in a single Gold membership for the whole family. With “Home Gold,” everyone playing on a single Xbox One can take advantage of the Gold functionality.
But even if online multiplayer isn’t your bag, the Games with Gold feature is well worth the forty bucks. As long as you’re subscribed to Xbox Live Gold, you’ll get two Xbox One games and two Xbox 360 games every month. This month, The Crew and Goat Simulator are available on the Xbox One, and Super Meat Boy and XCOM: Enemy Unknown are free for the 360. Better yet, the free 360 games will run on the Xbox One, so you’re covered even if you don’t own the last-gen console.
Gold membership also gives you access to steep discounts each week. As of right now, you can save big on the likes of Destiny: The Taken King, Diablo III, Madden 16, NBA Live 16, and UFC 2.
