Make Room for Three Amazing Games in March – and Double Games with Gold in April

Clean your couch off and get ready for three awesome titles, completely free to Xbox Live Gold members, thanks to Games with Gold. Rayman Legends is the free game this month on Xbox One, and it is – believe us – one of the best platformers ever made. Xbox 360 owners get Tomb Raider, a fantastic, pulse-pounding reboot of the iconic series. And they also get BioShock Infinite, the multi-multi-award-winning shooter set in a city among the clouds. As usual, all games are available only for a limited time*, as part of the ongoing Games with Gold program.

Well already played the 360 free games on PS3(PS+), but I wouldn't mind playing again for achievements. I still like collecting the Xbox One games for when I do get one.

[Automatic79]

@Eidolon

Glad to hear you enjoyed those games on PS3, but now its our turn on Xbox 360 and Rayman legends on Xbox One sounds like loads of fun. Love how the program is evolving.keep up the good work MS. Bring on the games.

Note:If you count Dungeons and Dragons, Never winter thenXbox One is getting two games in March.

[mikeslemonade]

Lame month again but I will play Rayman Legends.

[Gotcha5]

There's plenty of free games for X1 to be had in the month of march Rayman for starters then EA Access user get 10 hrs of Battlefield Hardlines, Neverwinter, Dungeons and Dragons and Forza: Fast and the Furious.So don't fret MS got you covered for next month.

[darthv72]

Damn Mike...why you got to be so sour? Maybe its that lemonade doesnt have enough sugar.

on topic, I initially dl Infinite from PS+ but never played it. I prefered to play the bioshock games on 360 and was just looking at picking up Infinite. Now I can just dl and play it on 360.

And tomb raider...havent played a TR game since the Saturn. Yes it's been THAT long.

[Kingthrash360]

Is ea access a free service?
I thought it was a paid service. Xbl free games are considered free because xbl is mandatory to play online and other apps. But eaa is a app that you pay a sub for...on top of xbl.
So why are people calling it free games? Its like saying netflix has free movies.

[F0XHOUND]

@mike

How is BioShock lame? Or tomb raider... or even rayman? Even though PS plus has had these already, its still fantastic for 360 gamers!!

[antz1104]

Rayman isn't really my cup of tea, was hoping they'd give XOne owners Tomb Raider as well. That's a game I wouldn't mind playing again!

[xDHAV0K24x]

fantastic platformer

[XanderZane]

All are great games that are worth owning. If there are still gamers out there who haven't tried any of these games, now would be the perfect time to get them. I just wished M$ would have given us Tomb Raider Definitive Edition for the XB1 as well. I would have definitely downloaded that game. I'll grab Rayman Legends though even though I own it on the PS3 as well.

[Brotard]

Well Definitive edition would be more expensive then the original release so obvis M$ did the original release instead

[XanderZane]

@Brotard
Yes, but the original game isn't on the XB1. That's my point. I'm sure they will probably do it eventually, but I just thought it would go hand & hand with the XBox 360 version. I agree with Medman, that we might see it just before Rise of the Tomb Raider gets released on the XB1 this fall. It would be good hype for the sequel.

Anyone have any ideas what games will be coming in April? I bit excited about what they will give us after this great month of March. You would think Forza 5 or Titanfall (since TF is $6 on sale) and maybe Killer Instinct (1st Season).

[medman]

Microsoft would be wise to put Tomb Raider definitive edition on games with gold a month or two before Rise of the Tomb Raider releases....that's a win win.

[Chrisgamerguy]

That's probably what they are going to do lol. I think you called it. That way every person on xbox one can play the first and so many more potential buyers for rise! Also i hope they have multiplayer is rise too. It was decent in the first game

[The-Marb]

Nice idea med...the first was a joy so am really looking forward to the second.

[Spenok]

Agreed. All awesome games worth playing. If you haven't yet, jump on these offers.

[DanielEndurance]

Hopefully the two free X1 games in April continue on month after month... not just April...

[rxl209]

if you wanna see aprils games with gold look at last years ps plus games, that how they choose them

[Pogmathoin]

That was figured out, but nobody is close to finding out what is right with you, forget about what is wrong...

[Svinya]

The X1 always has 2 games a month. One just carries over from last month.

[RosweeSon]

Like Sony Have done all year, lame when a company has to just react to everything being done around them rather than just go it on their own and do their own thing but hey great for the people who over paid on day one systems that have now been heavily reduced in price (over £100 in less than a year)

[BlackTar187]

What has Sony done all year?

[Direwolf484]

Wow. Great month for Xbox One/360 owners. I don't care for Rayman and I already have Tomb Raider for Xbox One, but I've never played Bioshock Infinite so I'll give that a go.

[Sono421]

woahh you need to play that game as soon as you can... it's brilliant!

[The-Marb]

Sono is correct. Bio-shock Infinite is the best in the series (IMO) and a game which shows what can be done with the FPS format.

[BlackTar187]

No Way is Bioshock infinite the best int he series.

NO WAY

[Joda]

hell yeeeeahh!

[urwifeminder]

Nice may not play these but will take em for free lol , have not finished TR on pc yet could never get into bioshock though.

[mhunterjr]

Now I Wish I never got rid of my 360...

[HeavenlySnipes]

Is Rayman origins on the X1? It's the better game imo

Excellent platforming

[WilliamSheridan]

This game includes all of Rayman Origins as well as all of the New stuff. So if you liked Origins, you must love legends...

[Wrightylfc88]

Tomb raider and bioshock were on ps plus about a year ago. Games with gold my a**

[christocolus]

But its on xbox now so who cares if they were once on ps plus? It seems your the only one bothered about that.

[magiciandude]

It would make better sense giving us Xbox One gamers the TR:DE instead of the 360 version. Everyone's moving on from the 360 and I don't even have one.

[beerzombie]

No Rayman Legends is a better choice. If they would have put the x1 version of tomb raider people would have said they just gave us a rehash game.

[PhucSeeker]

And X1 ver of Rayman Legends isn't a rehashed game ?

[Jyndal]

I still have my 360. I have waaaay too much money invested into the games, both hardcopy and DL.

I have Tomb Raider already, but I never played the new Bioshock, so I'll be getting that as soon as it pops.

[Brotard]

seriously i doubt the double games in april is real! do people not think of april fools??

[Angerfist]

Doubt it. You know how serious ppl take this and MS knows it all to well. So i guess this might work out. X1 has a solid collection now. And 4 Games for 360 are also realistic. Tons of arcade games

[Svinya]

X1 has two free games a month every month. One carries over from the previous month.

[LexHazard79]

Clearly states its not April Fools joke.

[Tedakin]

Since MS officially announced it I'm going to say it's real.

[Brotard]

i thought it was a "leak"

[ScaryMonkey]

Microsoft has to give double the games to try to be on par with what Sony offers in terms of quality and they'll still come up short, LOL. BTW most of these game we already got for PS+ ages ago.

[GMR_PR]

What does Sony has to do with games with gold?

[IVanSpinal]

1886

[xPaYDaYx]

Didn't Sony just sell that same Rayman game for like 10 or 15 bucks lmao? Xboners are getting a great deal here!

[TimeSkipLuffy]

Do you still own the games for XBOX360 or has it been changed to rental only like on PS+? X1 games are rental only, aren't they?

[LexHazard79]

You keep Xbox360 games but Xbox One games are just rentals like PS+.

[TRS_Gear]

Well, looks like its time to pull my 360 back out. Been wanting to play Bioshock Infinity for a while now.

[The-Marb]

A great month.

Bioshock Infinite is one of the best shooters I have played in a while, imaginative, non-linear and intuitive with a great story and a great NPC in Elizabeth.

Tomb Raider is also superb. It may well be riffing on Nathan Drakes adventures but if you are going to copy, copy from the best (IMO I felt Tomb Raiders combat was slightly better but Uncharted 2 and 3 had the better set-pieces and platforming, ergo probably edging it in terms of quality). It looks gorgeous, plays really well and its a nice length too. I paid full price on day one and was more than satisfied.

Basically you need these games in your life.

Not played Rayman but hear its also good.

[gedden7]

It used to be FREE games with gold and now its GAMES with Gold.....

Typical.

[Yetter]

finally a game I don't own thats good. Rayman!!

[xDHAV0K24x]

Tomb Raider Definitive Edition should be free the month before Rise of The Tomb Raider releases.

[xxxGEOxxx]

Am I the only one who wishes we could play 360 downloaded games on Xbox One? Don't have a 360 anymore, but would have loved to play The Witcher II last month.

[Jag-T1000]

Should've kept it! Unless you're struggling for cash, there is no reason to let go off your 360.

[xxxGEOxxx]

I didn't let go of it, it let go of me...3 times actually, RROD. I wasn't investing in another after that, and just recently got Xbox One this past Christmas. Waited to see if there were any hardware issues again.

Eh, it is what it is though.

[Jag-T1000]

April? What's for March then?

[Tedakin]

Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite and Rayman Legends

[captainexplosion]

A really good month for Gold. Glad more people will get to play the masterpiece Rayman Legends. Nothing for me though. Infinite and TR were given on Plus long ago & I already have Rayman Legends on PS4, Wii U, and a physical & digital copy on Vita. I regret buying it for PS4 last week.
