Xbox One Games With Gold Revealed (April 2019): Original Star Wars Battlefront 2 And More

Use the Force, Luke. Or Xbox Live Gold, that should also work.

14 Comments

Microsoft has revealed the lineup for Games with Gold during April 2019, and there are some great Xbox One and Xbox 360 games going free in the next few weeks. Beloved multiplayer game Star Wars: Battlefront II (2005) is perhaps the most exciting game of the month, but there's plenty more besides that. [Update: The first of April's Games With Gold are now available for download on Xbox One and Xbox 360.]

Xbox One owners can look forward to playing the 2016 action-RPG The Technomancer, which is free starting on April 1 and running through the end of the month. Then, from April 16 through May 15, Outcast: Second Contact will also be free on Xbox One.

Now Playing: Free Xbox One And Xbox 360 Games With Gold For April 2019 Announced

On Xbox 360, the free games will be Star Wars: Battlefront II--the 2005 game that first launched on the original Xbox--and Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2. The former is free from April 1 - 15, while the latter is available for no added cost from April 16 - 30. Both titles are backwards compatible, meaning you can play them on your Xbox One. In the case of GRAW 2, the game has only just been added to the backwards compatibility list, coinciding with the GWG announcement.

Remember you still have time to grab March's Xbox Games with Gold, which include another Star Wars title as well as Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

I love how they try to convince you that a 14 year old game is somehow "great" lol.

Not exactly swinging for the fences next month, XBOX.

This is a great month..

Well atleast for the Backwards Compats.

The Real StarWars Battlefront 2 was a lot of fun in I very simple way..

Esp when you board the enemies Capital ship and devastate their ships & pilots as they take off for battle ;D

*I remember playing w/ my GF back then(now wife) and grief her this way..

10/10 for sure!!!

I hope those who we're too young finally can see why the new Battlefronts we're such a letdown..

***The only great things in StarWars happened awhile ago sadly...

***Ghost Recon~ I still haven't played GR2 & Future SOldier. Now I own both via digital BC...

GhostRecon 1 was a lot of fun.. I miss squad based games..

~in Socom I trust~ 4 sure....

I dunno bout Technomancer but It looks cool & maybe i'll run it one day. unlikely.

*Outcast 2 ~ just watche dthe trailer ( here's the link My fellow gamer homies)

https://www.gamespot.com/videos/outcast-second-contact-debut-trailer/2300-6437979/

it looks interesting & boring/bad... even the trailer got boring..

I'd say there's a 5% at best this gets played...

It's almost like they look at it like "we give em two epic Backwards Titles & we can save madd money but giving em two throwaway Current gen titles..

BUT THE PERK IS = Finally a month we're I don't own a single one of the games & I bet MOST can say that too..

actually I know I own physical copy of SW battlefront 2 but now the disc can stay resting wherever tf it is....

Are you guys disappointed because the current gen titles are meh? or happy cause you don't own either?

Need it. Need it. Got it. Need it. Not a bad month. Does this mean the SWBFII servers will be available for Xbox One users or still just PC users? Can someone here verify that?

Star Wars: Battlefront II is a blast. I'll definitely be loading that up again. Good haul this month, actually.

I loved GRAW2 way back. I’m sure it hasn’t aged well but it’ll be cool to check it out again.

Guess I won't be turning my Xbox Live Gold subscription back on after all. These titles are just disappointing.
