Was picking up my Games with Gold of Assassin's Creed China Chronicles and Mirrors Edge for the 360 and noted that Splosion Man was free with gold too, not sure why.

This isn't an official games with gold title for this month though, so it's a very valid question and one I am glad was asked and answered.

Are you logged in, and did you try taking it to the confirmation page?

Not sure mate, you have to be signed into a gold account, but it definitely worked on Saturday night for a mate of mine, it showed as £6.75 then changed to free at the buy screen.

That doesn't work for me, it's still showing £6.75... :disappointed:
Has this expired now?

2 or 3 months back I got Limbo for nothing from Xbox Live also. It randomly happens sometimes, I guess.?

That was announced at E3 to promote the upcoming release of the studio's next release Inside. This one does seem totally random and hasn't been promoted by any official Xbox accounts as far as I can tell.

Brilliant game. I bought it years ago, my son's got it and now thanks to this post, my younger son has got it too. Good fun and can play in multiplayer.
Nice find, thanks.

xbox fans... like indie games that xbox gives them
ps+ fans seem to complain about them even if they are great

price is at £6.75 on gold for me :disappointed:

Have you tried actually clicking the "buy" link (so that you get the confirmation popup)?

16 Sep 16#53
Illusionary is right, it showed as £6.75 for me but click on buy and it changed to FREE :smiley:

Thanks! Downloaded and think I prefer this to the other "real" GWG offerings right now, lol.

Anyone else having problems downloading for free if you don't have a debit or credit card linked to your account? Also tried on Xbox.com and no luck

You would think if it was a glitch, Microsoft would have fixed it by now.

Anyone else curious whether this was supposed to be one of October's Games with Gold and it went live early? Seems a bit weird to just be randomly free with no mention of it on Xbox's Twitter account

This is a fantastic platformer with great playability. Quite difficult later on but I have finished it. The last boss is a total bee-hatch tho!
Don't bother with the other games from this company tho, IMO Ms Splosion Man didn't capture me the same way and the comic book one was just naff. Paid good money for all three.

Daft question (not got round to getting Gold yet, waiting for summer to end) but is this for the 360 console, or the BackCompat on the Xbone?
Basically I want to know if I can retire my 360. :smiley:
cra1gy123 to Roger_Irrelevant
16 Sep 163#11
360, it's also backwards compatible :smiley:

Yes this is BC, a full list of BC games can be seen here
Thanks OP

Guys stop having a debate about whether Games with Gold games are backwards compatible or not...MS said that all new Games with Gold games will be BC, so no worries!

Just did this, comes up as £6.75 even when logged in but on payment page it says FREEEEEEE
Might be a glitch, get in

The Ms Slosion epilogue has always been free, basically a demo of the first level, but to unlock the rest of the actual DLC has always been £6.75.

I have a 1 month card sitting right beside me. I only want to redeem it when there is a good month of GwG, so that is why I'm asking if this game will be free for a while..

16 Sep 16#30
Cheers, OP, you rock.

16 Sep 16#15
Does anyone know if this is a limited-time offer? I don't have Gold at the moment but may redeem a one month code if there's a good GwG lineup down the road.
johnwillowlfc to copperspock
16 Sep 16#18
I think a one month gold will work for that
ZenomorphX to copperspock
16 Sep 16#29
I managed to grab the month for a pound deal, even though ive had the same account with gold for 6 years. I grabbed it as funds are short, but NEEDED Forza Horizon :laughing: maybe it'll work for you? I followed the option on xbox home screen right side.

Thankyou for the heads up, grabbed the prolog thing, oddly I know I purchased splosion man, yet the website is insisting I haven't previously how odd.

backwards compatible too :-)

16 Sep 16#25
Great game, not sure I ever finished it. Seem to remember getting stuck on one of the later levels.

One of the best XBLA or PSN games ever IMO. Practically perfect gameplay, more levels than you can bear, a whole new campaign for multiplayer, and hardcore mode for those that have the guts for the real challenge. Plus loads of free unlockables included (these days I keep seeing "FREE THEME! ...if you pay full price for preorder", but these are all obtainable through gameplay).
Plus... the end credit video is so bizarre it'll blow you away. Don't spoil it for yourself, you'll get there if you're determined.

Got it from xbox.com - thanks OP.
The purchasing screen on that website is a bit disconcerting. As well as showing 'free' it also shows your paypal details. I was a bit worried about clicking buy but no money was taken!

It's def backwards compatible as it's in my "ready to download" list. Maybe it was previously on GWG because I can't remember buying it! Didn't really like it tbh.

This game is backwards compatible so can be played either on 360 or Xbox One.
