The download is only 3.39 GB.Ĭrackdown 2 wasn’t poorly reviewed, but it failed to capture or extend the buzz that followed its predecessor, a breakout hit when it launched in 2007.

Remarkably, the Xbox 360 exclusive has not yet been offered on the Games With Gold service, so this really is a new free game. So run go get it.Ĭrackdown 2 launched in 2010. There isn’t any indication this promotion won’t simply just become the default value of these games going forward, but that being said, if you are interested in Crackdown and Crackdown 2 - and you don’t already own them, it might behoove you to strike while the iron is hot and secure your free copies sooner rather than later.Microsoft added Crackdown 2 to the Xbox One’s backward compatibility portfolio at the end of the day yesterday and, more importantly, made it free for everyone.

(Gosh, I hope it isn’t a Crackdown rash…) As such, settling for what I can get for free will more than suffice to scratch this oddly specific Crackdown itch I am experiencing. As it turns out Crackdown 3 will run you $29.99, or roughly two months of Game Pass for a returning subscriber both of which are too rich for my blood.īut as luck would have it, for the low, low cost of time and bandwidth, I can simply get my Crackdown fix with the first two games, which, if the progression from Crackdown to Crackdown 2 is any indication of what to expect for the progression from Crackdown 2 to Crackdown 3, then if you’ve played one Crackdown, you’ve pretty much played them all. Since I am not a subscriber to Game Pass anymore (after realizing the service didn’t really have much to offer me specifically), I no longer have the option of playing Crackdown 3 via that subscription avenue. I discovered this promotion while browsing the Xbox store to see just how much Crackdown 3 was going for. As it turns out, more than three years later, both games are still available to download for free for anyone who may be interested. Digital copies of Crackdown and Crackdown 2 became available to download for free for Xbox players back in February of 2019 to commemorate the release of Crackdown 3.
