As the end of the month rolls around, that means a new line of free downloads for subscription services. Here are some new Games With Gold offerings for Game Pass Ultimate, headlining some fast-paced action for December. From Retrific Game Studio comes the western-themed top down shooter Colt Canyon. And from NEXT Studios, the speedy side-scrolling action slasher Bladed Fury. 

Colt Canyon (Available December 1 - 31): Hold on to your hats, partner. Let me tell you a tale ‘bout a gunslinger that’s been left for dead and his partner kidnapped. It’s time for you to head out to Colt Canyon, an unforgiving western landscape filled with hidden treasures, weapons, danger, and bloodthirsty scum. Shoot your way through and maybe blow a few things up with TNT along the way with a spaghetti western soundtrack humming in the background. Save your partner and other innocents, and if you’re lucky, you’ll have a blast doing so and won’t end up as buzzard food.

Bladed Fury (Available December 16 - January 15): Accused of murder and exiled, Princess Ji goes on a breathtaking, action-packed journey to prove her innocence, rescue her sister, and blaze a trail of bloody vengeance. Unleash your side-scrolling skills in this classic 2D game based on Chinese mythology. Take on ancient enemies and gods using high-octane combo attacks! The art and sound design are gorgeously rendered, mixing traditional flourishes with a surreal edge.
