In April 2017, Gold members can download these free games for Xbox One and Xbox 360.
As a subscriber to the Xbox Games with Gold service, you get free games every month that you can download and play. Thanks to backward compatibility, Xbox One players can also play games from the older Xbox 360. In March, there were crazy co-op adventures with Borderlands 2 and terrifying moments in the horror game Layers of Fear.
In April, in addition to adventures with the undead, you’ll also get a part of the Assassin’s Creed games from Ubisoft.
