Note Bene:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

If you have a Playstation 4 or Playstation 5 and you buy an online game subscription called Playstation Plus, you can download every month between 2 and 4 months for free and play it as much as you want WHILE you are a Playstation Plus subscriber.<\/p>\n\n

If you have an Xbox Series (X\/S) or Xbox One (X\/S) or Xbox 360 (phew…)) and you buy an online game subscription called Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you can download between 2 and 4 games each month for free and play as much as you want AS LONG as you are Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. <\/p>\n\n

Note that you can pick up Xbox 360 games and keep them for free even at the end of the subscription, only if you download them from an Xbox 360 console.<\/p>\n\n

If you have a Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch Lite or Nintendo Switch OLED and you purchase a subscription to the online game called Nintendo Switch Online, you can download a few games for free and play them as much as you want AS long as you are a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber. <\/p>\n\n

Many price reductions and decreases are constantly present. We do not list every one of them. We list the best opportunities for games that we deem to be of very good quality, suitable for your children or yourself. <\/p>\n\n

No games recommended for kids this month.<\/p>\n\n

Persona 5 Strikers is a progression fighting game. It is the sequel to Persona 5 (or Royal) which is a role-playing game. It is unfortunately stretched a lot in length, and many players may lose patience. The review is available here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

DIRT 5 is a good rally racing game. <\/p>\n\n

Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers<\/h3>\n\n

Radiant Silvergun is an excellent ship shooter (shoot’em up) but it is made for the most experienced players who will repeat thousands of times the same levels in order to cross everything. <\/p>\n\n

Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Subscribers<\/h2>\n\n
\"Nintendo<\/figure>\n\n

Starting this month, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can pay an additional fee to access other benefits.<\/p>\n\n

For now, the quality of the Expansion Pack offer is poor and we do not recommend subscribing to this offer at this time. The games offered are in small numbers and are not faithful to their quality on period consoles. The price increase is too large, given the proposed offer and the competition. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

This includes:<\/p>\n\n

Free: Nintendo 64 app, Nintendo 64 Online.<\/strong> Allows you to play a selection of old Nintendo games released on the Nintendo 64 console, such as Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time…<\/p>\n\n

Free: Genesis app (called Megadrive in Europe), SEGA Genesis Online.<\/a>\n \n<\/strong> Allows you to play a selection of old SEGA games released on the Genesis console, such as Sonic, Strider, Phantasy Star…<\/p>\n\n

Free: DLC expansion for the game Animal Crossing New Horizons. The extension is called Happy Home Paradise. More information here.<\/strong><\/a> This extension will also be available for purchase separately. If you purchase it separately, you don’t need to remain subscribers to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, in order to play it.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Note: When you stop any of these subscriptions, you lose access to what you got with the subscription. You have to pay for subscriptions again to access them again. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
