While it is unclear at this time whether its a glitch or intentional. Crackdown, and Crackdown 2 are now free for download on the Xbox store.

It’s possibly the longest standing and harshest criticism levelled against Microsoft’s console family, and I can’t say I wholly disagree. However, there are some out there which can slip through the net every now and then. But bucking the trend was the original Crackdown, which was not one of them. It shifted a very healthy amount of units as well as drawing in universal praise from critics. A sequel then, would be a no-brainer."
It was basically crackdown 1 with zombies, was fun but corners were cut, solid game though.
Collecting those orbs and upgrading your character were addictive, it was just a shame they played it safe instead of going all out, didnt take anything away from how fun the game is though.
Crackdown 1 was one of the underrated gems of last gen. I loved that game. Crackdown 2 was crackdown 1 with added zombies and gave the map a paint job. Disappointing, but still enjoyed it for what it was with the added wingsuit, toybox mode and 4 player co-op. Crackdown 3 was basically what Crackdown 2 should have been.
Crackdown 1 and 2 were both given for free to Xbox One users to celebrate their launch on the Xbox Live Store and backward compatibility support for the Xbox One. In addition to giving the games for free, Microsoft is now also giving the DLC for Crackdown 2.
I'm pretty sure even Microsoft isn't pleased with Crackdown 3 either, as they went silent on it.

The SP got boring quick.
The MP is ok but I have better games to play now.

Microsoft has released Crackdown 2 for the Xbox One and in a bid to get as many players to enjoy it as possible, they are releasing it for free but that offer might expire soon.
I prefer CD2 more than CD3 because CD2 just copy everything from the OG and just added some new stuff on top which was great (even though CD2 feel like a dlc for CD1). In CD1-2 weapons, vehicle, enemies, close combat are way better than CD3. CD3 didn't really innovate and it was fun for a few hours until you get bored, boss fight is much easier to fight compare to a horde of enemies with missile, heliturrent, giant robot throwing rocks that can kill you very fast..
Sadly, I don't have an Xbox and I can't play CD1-2
backwards compatibility on Windows 10.
No... In no way is Crackdown 2 better. That's a game that should have got bad scores, and is even more proof that Crackdown 3 is underrated. Along with actual rubbish like State of Decay 2 somehow scoring higher.
The original crackdown is actually so underrated, an awesome physics playground. Both it’s sequels are actually embarrassing.
🤣🤣🤣
Crackdown 1 was always free.
Stay at home initiative? Not everyone has Gamepass.
Crackdown 1 was a *great* game.
How are these games?
