The Technomancer, Outcast: Second Contact, Star Wars Battlefront II (the classic one from October 2005), and
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 are headed to April's "
Games with Gold," Microsoft has officially announced. While all the games will be available for Xbox One (via backwards compatibility), those who play only on X360 will still get the older
Star Wars and
Ghost Recon titles.
As a reminder, Sony has decided to abandon those who play on PlayStation 3 and/or PlayStation Vita as the company will no longer include PS3 or Vita games in the monthly PS Plus slate starting this month.
Here’s when each game will be available via Games with Gold:
-
The Technomancer: April 1 - 30 (Xbox One)
-
Outcast – Second Contact: April 16 - May 15 (Xbox One)
-
Star Wars Battlefront II: April 1 - 15 (Xbox 360/Xbox One)
-
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2: April 16 - 30 (Xbox 360/Xbox One)
Games with Gold is a major benefit of Xbox Live Gold. Microsoft's consumer-friendly program provides all Gold members with free, hand-selected games every month, worth up to $700 per year. The service is available to all Xbox Live Gold members, and to download free games monthly, you just need to be an XLG member when you redeem any Games with Gold offers. Take a look at the April line-up below:

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
It's 2014, and the soldier of the future returns to encounter a new and more imminent threat along the recently completed wall on the U.S./Mexico border. The Ghosts are more powerful with an upgraded Integrated Warfighter System (IWS), but will have only 72 hours to assess the threat and stop the rebels from reaching U.S. soil. With a border that's 1,900 miles long and an enemy that doesn't play by the rules, this is a job for the U.S. military's most elite fighting unit. This is a job for the Ghosts.
