Bioshock Infinite Free on Xbox 360 Through Games With Gold March 17, 2015

One of the most anticipated games to be released in 2013 was the multiplatform title Bioshock Infinite.

The third game in the Bioshock franchise, Bioshock Infinite sent players to Columbia, a technologically advanced city in the clouds.  The city itself is run by ideologically driven founders who believed that America was great the way it was founded, and that none of the changes made in the past two hundred years should have ever been changed.  Your mission is to find and rescue a mysterious girl named Elizabeth, who has powers she is only beginning to understand.

If you haven’t given this game a chance yet, you really need to rectify that, and now thanks to Microsoft’s Games With Gold Promotion, Xbox Live Gold Members with an Xbox 360 will be able to purchase and download a digital copy of the game right now completely free of charge if you’re a Gold Member.

As with all games offered through Games with Gold on the Xbox 360, once you download your game, it will remain playable in your download list forever, even if your Xbox Live Gold Subscription expires.

Judging by price, which will be $349 US, and the box’s appearance, it does not appear that this bundle will include a Kinect Sensor.
