Xbox marketing guru Major Nelson has debuted March 2019's line-up of free Games With Gold, confirming another four games to be coming soon to Xbox Live Gold subscribers' libraries. As is common, two Xbox One games are featured in the monthly subscription bonus, as well as two backward compatible games from previous generations. This month's games include both an Xbox 360 and an original Xbox title, as the Xbox team goes way back to offer a classic Star Wars game to fans in March.
The first free Games With Gold title coming to Xbox One is Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion, which will have players exploring the open world of a flooded Ooo, building a party of familiar faces, and leveling up in what could be the final major Adventure Time game. Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is the second title being offered for free, and it is a competitive shooter where players pick classes of zombies or flowers, kit their characters out with gear, and go to war.
Complementing the Xbox One's more casual and cheerful two games for this month are two action-packed backward compatible titles from big franchises. Star Wars: Republic Commando for the original Xbox will be free next month, and it is a classic tactical shooter set during the events of the Clone Wars. Metal Gear: Rising Revengeance is the other game being offered, which is an intense action release that gives Metal Gear Solid 2 protagonist Raiden his redemption.
As per the traditional schedule for Xbox's Games With Gold program, releases will be done every fifteen days. Both Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion and Star Wars: Republic Commando will be free to download for Gold subscribers starting March 1. Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 and Metal Gear Rising Revengeance will be available starting March 16. The Xbox One games will be available for a month each, while the backward compatible games will last only 15 days each.
Xbox Gold subscribers can still download three of February's Games With Gold, but time is running out. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy will both disappear on February 28, and Super Bomberman R will last through March 15. There's a little bit of everything available for Gold subscribers going into March 2019.
Xbox's next offerings for Games With Gold will begin going live on March 1, 2019.
