Xbox fans show utter disappointment with the choice of free games as compared to PlayStation
The inevitable fan war between PlayStation and Xbox has been going on which does give some fruitful benefits to the video gaming community. A few days back, PlayStation released the monthly games that will be included in PlayStation Plus for January. As per the blog, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Fallout 76, and Axiom Verge 2 will be available from January 3, 2023.
This certified that the subscribers of the PlayStation Plus membership will get two AAA titles accompanied by an indie title. On the other hand, Xbox mentioned Iris Fall and Autonauts as free under the Games with Gold program. Thereby, no AAA titles were mentioned along with the two indie titles.

This seemed to have created a rift in the community as the fans were disappointed to see Xbox’s game choice for Game with Gold. A user tweeted, “Just cancel xbl gold already if you’re going to put zero effort into games with gold.” Moreover, another user tweeted, “Yall start the year off like the whole of 2022. Embarassing.”
A fan while drawing a straight comparison said, “Playstation get Jedi Fallen Order and Fallout 76 meanwhile we get 2 sh*t indie games no ones even heard of. Its been bad for like 4 years but f**k me has it got worse with no Xbox 360 games. Just kill games with gold already and focus more on game pass or something at this point.”
To give a vivid view here are the reactions of the people to the tweet:

I love indie games, but look at the games being offered on PS plus.
Step up your game, MS

Does anyone remember when @Xbox used to give us PROPER triple-A titles each month? Now it's just a couple of under-performing indie titles that nobody has even heard of! 🙄 Which would be fine if we were getting 4 per month like we used to… 😬 @XboxUK #Xbox #GamesWithGold

Just stop. Please just stop with xbox live gold. It's no longer worth it anymore. Online gaming should be free. Imagine all the great press you'd get if you scrapped gold

@XboxP3 Someone needs to speak to the Games With Gold department, I'm not sure what's going on, but it's not great. Im guessing an "Elon shake-up" may be required.
Cheers.
(Speaking like we're mates, haha)
