Luckily, we have you secured: these are the free Xbox Live Gold amusements that will be accessible in July 2017, crosswise over both consoles. Also, stay tuned, in light of the fact that we'll keep this space refreshed with every month's new picks. 

On Xbox Live Gold in July 2017






Grow Up (XB1)
Despite looking like a quirky indie game, Grow Up actually hails from Ubisoft – and is the sequel to 2015's Grow Home. As in the earlier game, you'll play as a red robot named B.U.D., and this time you'll have to recover your crashed ship's parts by growing massive, skyward plants, as well as using a jetpack and other abilities to maneuver yourself around. It's free throughout July.
Runbow (XB1)
Launching on Xbox One on 16 July and available from from then until 15 August, Runbow is a speedy side-scrolling racer that lets up to nine players sprint to the finish. The intriguing hook here is that as the background colour changes, so too do the environments and obstacles. It was well received when it first released on Wii U, so hopefully the fun holds up here too.
Watch Dogs (XB1)
Ubisoft's open-world action affair has a unique hook: not only can you go anywhere and shoot or steal pretty much anything, but you can also use your smartphone to hack electronics to your advantage, or do a bit of surveillance. The sequel is better, but if you missed the original, now's your time to play it for free. It's available until 15 July

After the disappointing original game, IO Interactive's Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days was a huge upgrade, offering more stylized action as the unhinged duo attempt to stay alive while being pursued throughout Shanghai. It's gritty and gruesome, and looks like you're watching the action from a security camera feed. Dog Days is free from 1-15 July.
If this summer's new Pirates movie didn't fill your quota for the year, then maybe Disney's older Lego Pirates of the Caribbean will do the trick. The familiar family-friendly Lego action approach is applied to the characters and scenarios of the franchise's first four films, and you'll be able to snag this one free on the back end of the month starting from 16 July
