March is nearly over, which means Xbox Live Gold and PlayStation Plus subscribers can soon look forward to a fresh batch of free games to download. While PS Plus subscribers will likely have to wait until Wednesday, March 31 to learn what their next free games will be, Microsoft has already pulled the curtain back on Xbox’s free Games with Gold for April 2021, consisting of two Xbox One titles and two Xbox 360 titles as usual.
Starting with the Xbox One games, Gold subscribers will be able to download Vikings: Wolves of Midgard from April 1 to April 30. And then from April 16 to May 15, they will be able to add Truck Racing Championship to their collection. Neither game is all that well-known or popular, though they are priced at $39.99 and $59.99, respectively, so it’s still technically a solid value for subscribers.
On the Xbox 360 side of things, Gold subscribers can download Dark Void from April 1 to April 15. Developed by Airtight Games and published by Capcom, Dark Void was notable at the time of its release for its unique vertical cover system. The game earned mixed to negative reviews from critics, but still managed to spawn a small franchise of its own. From April 16 to April 30, Gold subscribers on Xbox 360 can claim Hard Corps: Uprising, an ultra-tough Contra spin-off with an anime-inspired art style.
- Vikings: Wolves of Midgard (April 1 to April 30)
- Truck Racing Championship (April 16 to May 15)
- Dark Void (April 1 to April 15)
- Hard Corps: Uprising (April 16 to April 30)
Unfortunately, it’s highly likely that the Xbox free Games with Gold for April 2021 will continue the program’s increasingly poor reputation. It’s clear that Microsoft is far more interested in getting big games for its Xbox Game Pass service than it is giving away free games through Xbox Live Gold. After all, April 2021 will include the brand new game Outriders for Game Pass subscribers, which is far more significant than any of the Games with Gold offerings.
However, Xbox fans who want to get the most bang for their buck could sign up for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes all of the Xbox Live Gold features and free games on top of the Game Pass library, so it’s definitely something that Xbox gamers should consider signing up for if they can.
In the meantime, there is still time for subscribers to download the free Xbox Games with Gold for March 2021. Fans have until March 31 to claim Warface: Breakout and Port Royale 3, while they have until April 15 to add VALA: Vicious Attack Llama Apocalypse to their growing collection of digital games.
