Sunset Overdrive Free for Xbox Live Gold Members this Saturday

To celebrate the first anniversary of Xbox One’s launch, Microsoft and Insomniac Games are inviting all Xbox Live Gold members to a taste of the Awesomepocalypse.

Beginning Saturday, November 22nd at 12.01 Eastern Time, Xbox Live Gold members on Xbox One will get to play Sunset Overdrive for free for 24 hours. This is the full game; players will earn achievements and be able to save how far they progress during that 24 hour span. If you decide to purchase the game at a later point, you will be able to start again right where you left off.

Sunset Overdrive’s 8-player cooperative multiplayer experience, Chaos Squad, will also be available for everyone tomorrow. Please note: Chaos Squad must be unlocked by playing a certain amount into the campaign.

After the weekend, the Insomniac Games All-Star team will showcase several new weapons that will be available soon. Tune into the Xbox Twitch channel on Monday, Nov. 24 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time to see what’s on the way.

Sales must have been pretty bad.

Sales must've been very good.

Sales must have been as expected

Sales must have been something.

Rip off

According to VGC its at around 320k, not sure if that's good or bad. But i'd say its pretty decent for the amount of hardwares currently sold.

All I know is that this seems like a slap in the face to those that actually bought the game as it was so recent, not even a month old game!

 It's just 24 hours to play, so not quite how hard ms fans are usually slapped.

*im just kidding plz dont ban me!

It's only free for 24 hours. So not really a slap in the face. Seems like a move to boost sales. 

haha no I wont ban you xD

Well its not the length of the game but the fact that people paid full price for the game.  It's a slap in their wallets more than the face I should say =P
