With March winding down, Sony and Microsoft have released their free games offered by their PlayStation Plus and Xbox Games with Gold services.
For those with a PlayStation Plus account, in the month of April you can download “Mad Max” and “Track Mania Turbo” for the PS4, “In Space We Brawl” and “Toy Home” for the PS3 and “99 Vidas” and “Q*Bert Rebooted” for the PS Vita. “Q*Bert Rebooted” is also available on PS3 and PS4 via cross-buy according to IGN. All of these downloads are free for PlayStation Plus subscribers. On the Xbox side of things, players will gain access to “The Witness” on Xbox One throughout the entire month of April according to IGN. Also on Xbox One is “Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate” and that is available April 16 to May 15. There are two games that are available on both Xbox One and 360, according to IGN, and those are “Disney/Pixar’s Cars 2” from April 1-15 and “Dead Space 2” from April 16-30. Like PlayStation Plus, these titles are free to those with an Xbox Live subscription. Games with Gold has some great offers next month. “The Witness” may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the puzzle game was loved by many and received a perfect 10 from IGN. The Assassin’s Creed Franchise has been losing fans for a while and has seemed to find its footing once again with its latest instalment “Assassin’s Creed: Origins”. Before taking a year off from the franchise in 2016, Ubisoft released “Syndicate”. “Syndicate” had some trouble drawing attention, due to the prior year’s failure with “Assassin’s Creed: Unity”, but delivered a great game. Now that it is free, more people should take advantage of this opportunity and play this title. “Dead Space 2” is the icing on the cake for Games with Gold. Dead Space is a beloved survival horror franchise, and should have many gamers jumping on the free game. Despite the series ending on a lack luster game “Dead Space” and “Dead Space 2” scored an 86 percent and 87 percent on Metacritic respectively. The only real standout for PlayStation Plus lineup for April is Avalanche Studios’ “Mad Max”. It was a great open-world game that captured not only the tone and feeling of the films, but included a satisfying combat system and a surprisingly deep car customization system. Now that this title is available for free there is no reason to skip on it. Those interested in the free games from March need to act fast. The current free titles on PS4 are the new “Ratchet and Clank” and “Bloodborne”. For Xbox One, subscribers have access to the Xbox Arcade title “Quantum Conundrum” and “Trials of the Blood Dragon” through tomorrow. They also have access to “Superhot” until April 15 according to xbox.com. Along with free games, both services offer discounts on various other titles. For those without a subscription to these services, PlayStation Plus is available for $59.99 for 12 months, $24.99 for three months and $9.99 for one month. Xbox Live subscriptions are the same prices for the same time spans.
