Microsoft and HBO are teaming up to bring Xbox owners to Westeros. The duo announced this morning that the first episode of the current season is available for free for all Live members.

Now through April 16, the first episode of season five (which premiered on Sunday, April 12) is available at no cost. Additionally, there are bonus features available that tease the rest of the season. 

A trivia section gives fans a chance to show off their Game of Thrones knowledge. The remainder of the season is available via HBO Go on Xbox and other platforms on which the app is available.
