All three of Titanfall‘s downloadable content expansions are currently free on Xbox One and Xbox 360, according to a tweet from developer Respawn Entertainment. The three expansions are also listed as free on publisher Electronic Arts’ Origin site for Windows download. The promotion marks the one year anniversary of the game’s initial release, on March 11, 2014.

Expedition, Frontier’s Edge, and IMC Rising usually cost $10 each, or $25 combined as part of the season pass, but each is listed as free for the time being. It is not clear how long the promotion will last and neither Microsoft nor EA has formally announced the deal.

Titanfall shook up first-person shooters with a revitalized sense of motion, creating “fast-moving yet accessible multiplayer action.” The initial release felt lacking, with only a handful of maps and modes to choose from, but with three expansions available now for free, there’s no better time to get into the game’s pilot-vs-mech action.

Recent rumors have suggested that Respawn started work on a sequel. Unlike the first game, which launched as an Xbox console exclusive, sources at EA suggested that the sequel would launch on a wider range of platforms, allowing a larger audience to join in on the fun.

The best Wii games of all time

Few video game consoles stirred up as much buzz as the Nintendo Wii. Before motion-tracking software was considered standard fare and shovelware began popping up left and right to take advantage, Nintendo looked to revolutionize the gaming landscape with the Wii.

The Wiimote and Nunchuck control system gave gamers a new way to game and opened the door for a new generation of interactive gaming. From brand-new motion-based party games like Wii Sports and Just Dance to groundbreaking installments to classic Nintendo series like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and the Super Mario Galaxy, the Wii quickly became home to a stellar lineup of games for all ages.

The best video game remakes of all time

There are so many classic games from the past that have become difficult for new players to experience. The farther away in time we get from these games' releases, the more difficult it can get to not only get the game itself but also the extra hardware needed to play them. That alone is a major barrier that turns people away from playing games many consider to be some of the greatest of all time. And that's not even taking into account dated graphics, controls, and mechanics.

Remakes offer a new generation a chance to experience some of the most influential games of the past, as well as give fans of the originals a brand new way to play them all over again. The best remakes take what made a game so great before and modernize it for the current audience without losing that magical spark. It isn't an easy process, but here are the games that managed to pull it off.

Xbox Game Pass kicks off 2024 by adding an all-time great remake

The new year has just begun, and Microsoft has announced the first group of games coming to Xbox Game Pass this year. Throughout the first half of January, Microsoft's game subscription service is set to receive eight new games. Most notably, Capcom's excellent Resident Evil 2 remake from 2019 joins Xbox Game Pass on January 16.

First released nearly five years ago on January 25, 2019, Resident Evil 2 set a new standard for horror remakes. It completely reimagined the original fixed-camera PlayStation 1 horror game as a tense third-person shooter with an intimate over-the-shoulder camera, while still retaining the core elements that made the original great. The influence of Resident Evil 2's remake can be felt not just in subsequent Resident Evil games, but in titles from other developers, like Alan Wake 2, Dead Space, and the upcoming Alone in the Dark remake.
