It's a little late this week but Microsoft hasn't forsaken us. Today, Microsoft has announced the April Games With Gold titles on Xbox One and Xbox 360, with "Sunset Overdrive" leading the pack.
As usual, the deals offered through the Games With Gold program will be available for a limited time only, so gamers looking to take advantage of the bargains should act fast before they expire.
Here is a full list of the newly discounted games for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 this week, as per Xbox Wire:
Xbox One Deals:
"Sunset Overdrive" (April 16 - May 15) - "The world's gone mad in 'Sunset Overdrive,' thanks to a very bogus energy drink, and it's up to you to set things right - or, at least, look really cool trying. A combination of grinding rails a la 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater,' with third-person shooter action and plenty of parkour/climbing/bouncing make up the core of 'Sunset Overdrive's' zany gameplay. Featuring a colorful, humorous aesthetic and a cast of memorable characters, this is one you absolutely can't miss - especially when it's free. When you take in 'Sunset Overdrive's' popular multiplayer modes and vast arsenal of weapons, you'll quickly see why this Xbox One exclusive is such a critical darling."
"The Wolf Among Us" (All of April) - "If you'd prefer to turn the crank on the deeper-thinking parts of your brain, though, you'll have the opportunity, thanks to 'The Wolf Among Us.' Based on the enormously popular series from DC Comics' Vertigo label, the game follows Bigby Wolf (that is, "Big Bad Wolf") who stalks 1980s Manhattan as he tries to solve a series of bizarre murders that appear to be taking out his fellow fairy tale characters... all of whom are (like Bigby) in disguise among the regular human population. You'll recognize famous faces like Snow White, of course, but you'll be floored by the many twists and turns that the story takes. Don't miss your chance to get involved in one of the most addictive episodic gaming experiences ever."
Xbox 360 Deals:
"Dead Space" (April 1 - April 15) - "You take on the role of Isaac Clarke, space engineer - who finds himself marooned on a space station where something has gone horribly wrong. We don't want to reveal too much... but this game's amazing, horrific visuals hold up today. With a story so creepy and so genuine, you might have to play this one in the daylight."
"Saints Row IV" (April 16 - April 30) - "Taking a poke at just about every open-world game out there, 'Saints Row IV' puts you in the shoes of the Boss, the unnamed leader of the titular Saints, as they fend off an alien invasion of Earth using their skills learned as members of the world's most badass street gang/corporate pitchmen. Yes, it's a very insane game - but in a good way. 'Saints Row IV' combines elements of role-playing, action, comedy, adventure, martial arts, and just plain crazy, in ways that no other series has. So get it while it's free, kick your feet up, and have a good time."
Aside from the erratic dates, you may notice that none of these entry's have prices listed next them. This is because they're all free. Furthermore, thanks to backwards compatibility, Xbox One owners won't miss out on this months Xbox 360 titles.
