Xbox Games with Gold adds Marooners, The Golf Club 2019 to May lineup

The free games available to Xbox Live Gold subscribers in May were announced on Monday, and include Marooners and The Golf Club 2019 featuring PGA Tour.

Marooners is a multiplayer party game that lets players compete in various minigames either online or via local multiplayer. The Golf Club 2019 is 2K Sports’ officially-licensed golf simulator, with a new career mode following the player through various golf tournaments and events.

The two backward compatible Xbox 360 games in this month’s lineup are Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon, and Comic Jumper: The Adventures of Captain Smiley. The former is the fourth game in the Earth Defense Force series, which is the first to feature an online co-op mode. The latter is a very meta adventure game in which a comic book superhero jumps into different graphic novels to learn how to fix his own series.

Here’s the May 2019 Games with Gold release schedule:

• Marooners: Available May 1 to 31 on Xbox One
• The Golf Club 2 Featuring PGA Tour: Available May 16 to June 15 on Xbox One
• Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon: Available May 1 to 15 on Xbox One and Xbox 360
• Comic Jumper: Available May 16 to 31 on Xbox One and Xbox 360

Xbox Live Gold subscribers can still pick up games from April’s lineup, including Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. Xbox Live Gold normally costs $9.99 per month (or $24.99 quarterly, $59.99 annually), but new subscribers can get their first month for $1.
