We’re a day late on the Games with Gold promotion for XBOX Live Gold subscribers, but we’re looking at a pretty solid month ahead of us. With XBOX One now in on the promotion, we’ll be covering both consoles and the freebies you can get the entire month.
A side note for the XBOX One promotions, you MUST be in Gold status to download the games and play them. Once your Live subscription expires and reverts to Silver, you will lose access to those games. Ensure you’re not letting that lapse so you can keep on playing all the free games out there!
At the time of this writing, HALO: SPARTAN ASSAULT is still available for download for free on XBOX One.
