PSA: Xbox Live Is Free This Weekend On Xbox 360
Starting today through Sunday, Xbox 360 users can get Xbox Live free and see the perks of a gold membership.
Forget to re-up your subscription? Been wanting to test out a game's online features, but don't want to pay for a subscription just yet? You are in luck. Microsoft is running a promo where you can enjoy Xbox Live for free. How do you redeem your free weekend? Nothing is required. All you need to do is just log in with an internet connection, pop in the game of your choice, and you're set to take it online. You can also test out some of the free-to-play games, such as World of Tanks and Warface.
Sadly, this promo is only for Xbox 360 users and does not include Xbox One.

Our Take
It's hard to complain about getting anything for free, but I really wish they'd extend this to Xbox One users as well. It would be a great way for Xbox One fans to see everything they're missing out on (especially since the Xbox One has more features for a gold membership) by not having the service. Seriously, if you're playing Destiny solo, you're really missing out. Take that game online, STAT!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
