October Xbox Live Games with Gold: Super Mega Baseball, MX vs. ATV: Reflex, and more

Microsoft is back with another round of complimentary games for its Xbox Live Gold subscribers.

In October, anyone who has an active membership to Microsoft’s premium network service will get two Xbox One and two Xbox 360 games. As usual, the 360 releases are also compatible with the Xbox One. This time around, players can expect an excellent baseball simulator and a motocross game.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s coming:

Xbox One

Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings

Available: October 1
Developer: Metalhead Software

This cartoon-looking take on America’s national pastime is one of the better sports games released in the last several years. It brings in deep simulation elements while offering up a variety of difficulty settings for a range of players from beginners to pros.

The Escapists

Available: October 16
Developer: Mouldy Toof Studios

This is a prison-escape adventure with retro-style graphics. It brings together elements of stealth and strategy games to give players a chance to plot out their redemption of the Shawshank persuasion.

Xbox 360 and Xbox One

MX vs. ATV: Reflex

Available: October 1
Developer: THQ

This is an off-road racer from defunct (and now revived under new ownership) publisher THQ. It gives you the opportunity to pilot dirt bikes, 4-wheel trucks, and all-terrain vehicles through mud, over hills, and more.

I Am Alive

Available: October 16
Developer: THQ

Yet another post-apocalyptic survival game. This one is from publisher Ubisoft. You take the role of a dusty, rugged boy who must find his family.
