Rainbow Six: Vegas Now Free Through Games With Gold September 17, 2013

Did someone call for Team Rainbow?  Xbox Live Gold Members on the Xbox 360 can download Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas free of charge until the end of the month as a part of the Xbox Live Games With Gold Promotion.  The game will take up around 6.6 Gigs in your Xbox 360’s memory storage, so people using a 4GB Xbox 360 will need to have a properly formatted USB drive or Xbox 360 Hard Drive to store the game.

Oh and just a small bit of information for those of you interested in playing the game’s multiplayer.  Make sure to download the Rainbow Six: Vegas Black and Rainbow Six: Vegas Red multiplayer expansions along with the game.  They are available as free separate downloads on Xbox Live Marketplace, and include a lot of new multiplayer maps.  File size for each multiplayer pack averages around 660MB each.

Microsoft’s Games With Gold Promotion is expected to continue until the release of the Xbox One in November.  No word has come yet on what games will be available for free after Rainbow Six: Vegas is no longer part of the promotion, however when the program was announced, Microsoft did say Halo 3 will be a part of it, so that is likely to be coming down the road.
