Free Sunset Overdrive DLC Arrives, Free Trial Starts Tomorrow
This morning, Microsoft delivered some free content to Sunset Overdrive players via the Xbox Live messaging system. If you’ve played the game, sign in and see if you have a code that unlocks seven cosmetic items, including a helmet modeled after a fly's head.
Additionally, the publisher is throwing open the doors to Sunset City starting Saturday, November 22 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern. You’ll be able to play a full trial of Sunset Overdrive for 24 hours.
You’ll earn achievements and start on your path toward the end-game during this time. If you choose to purchase it later, your progress will carry over.
For more on Sunset Overdrive, check out our review. If you want to make the most of your time tomorrow, here are the game's achievements.

Our Take
I’ve barely scratched the surface of Sunset Overdrive’s world, but I’m really enjoying what I’ve played so far. It’s definitely grabbed my attention thanks to self-referential humor and a casual use of profanity that would make my grandmother ashamed.
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.
