Xbox Games with Gold for April Announced Including Original Star Wars Battlefront II

Today Microsoft revealed the next batch of titles coming in April to Xbox One and Xbox 360 via the Games with Gold promotion with no additional purchase required for Xbox Live Gold subscribers.

We get Technomancer from April 1 to April 30 and Outcast: Second Contact from April 16 to May 15 for Xbox One.

Xbox 360 users will get Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon 2 from April 16 to April 30.

Interestingly, this time around we also get an original Xbox game, and that’s the old and glorious Star Wars Battlefront II by Pandemic Studios. Of course, this isn’t the recent one by DICe, and it’s playable on Xbox One via backward compatibility, exactly like Ghost Recon 2.

If you’re unfamiliar with some of the games on the menu (and I wouldn’t be surprised), you can find out what they look like in the trailer below.

Do keep in mind that you’re still in time to grab some of March’s offering before the games get rotated out with the new ones.

Specifically, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance are still available, even if the latter has only a few days left in the lineup.

Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
