Everyone always marks the beginning of a new month with details about Microsoft’s Xbox Live Games with Gold program. What many forget is that regardless of what’s offered to Xbox One users, Xbox 360 users are getting a better deal. Take this week’s updated title for example. As it’s now April 16th, Xbox 360 owners with an Xbox Live Gold subscription can download Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag absolutely free.
Microsoft’s Xbox website began reflecting the free price tag on Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag for Xbox 360 users earlier this morning. Normally the game would cost $19.99 from the Xbox 360 digitally. What’s more that free copy of the game is for users to keep. It doesn’t suddenly disappear when there’s no Xbox Live Gold subscription paired to it. That’s something that does happen on the Xbox One.
Xbox Live Gold costs $9.99 a month or $60 a year. Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag will remain free until May 1st.
