Welcome to the all NEW "List of all FREE Xbox Live Marketplace content (2.0)"! ...Now fully international to include ALL countries!

***For "Progress Updates" and the "Latest Free Content Highlights" click HERE!*** (The next post just after this one.)

Because the old topic had gotten so long, congested and out of date... and to start over with full support for ALL countries, CheapyD has given me explicit permission to start this new topic

Downloading content from foreign regions has resulted in console bannings!

Rules!

  • This topic is to index and discuss free content for Xbox Live from around the world.
  • Discussion of how one might go about circumventing any restraints in place to get content from a country other than their own... is currently against the rules!
  • Stay on topic.
  • No trolling or arguing. (And don't feed the trolls.)
  • And of course, follow any site rules.

What That Means: (For those that need it spelled out.)

You MAY discuss:

Additions, updates, clarifications and corrections of free content available for Xbox Live or from the Xbox Live Marketplace.  I'll do my best to keep this Original Post or OP as up to date as i can.  Whenever possible, please post any of the relevant info you can.  This includes:

  • The content name.
  • The content type. (Game, DLC, Avatar item, etc.)
  • The country it is available from. (Content from ANY country is allowed so long as you follow the rules.)
  • A link to it in the Xbox Marketplace. (Or other link if applicable.)
  • The start and end dates if possible. (If applicable.)
  • If it's an Avatar item, try and post a picture. Especially from the Xbox Marketplace if possible.
You MAY NOT discuss:

How to cheat the system to get content outside of your own country.  This includes:

  • Discussion of having multiple accounts from different countries.
  • Illegitimate account migrations.
  • VPNs or Proxys.
  • Etc, etc, etc. It's not that complicated!
Please stay on topic.  Some discussion is fine but if conversations veer too far off topic, they're likely to get deleted.  If you like someone's contribution to the topic, instead of replying with a "Thank you", please just use the "Like This" button.

And please, no trolling, arguing or debating about "whatever".  There is a designated topic for Shopping Morality.  Please use it.

Important Notes:

All individual countries that are listed are included primarily just to highlight content exclusive to those countries or content exclusive to just a few countries.  All content that is "generally" more universal around the world is listed under "Worldwide". (HOWEVER, most of the content from the old topic has been placed under "Worldwide" for now unless it was clear that items were only for particular a country.  So unfortunately, the "Worldwide" section is a bit of a "To be sorted" category for now, until the proper country placement can be determined.)

Eventually this topic may become a wiki. That would be great, but until then... Please post your additions, updates, clarifications and corrections to this topic and i'll do my best to keep this Original Post or OP as up to date as i can.  (Please see the first question in the FAQ at the bottom of this post!)  Thank you!



Re-organizing and creating this new topic took an insane amount of work.  I certainly got in over my head but i really wanted it to be a complete comprehensive source of not just listings but also any related info i could squeeze in.  I think it has turned out well and i hope it will better serve our international membership.  Hopefully i'll be able to regularly keep it more up to date until it might become a wiki again.  I hope you find it helpful and useful.

Listings Key:

  • Date Format: MM/DD/YYYY (US Layout)
  • Crossed Out Title* - Previously FREE but now Delisted.
  • Crossed Out Title** - Previously FREE but still available for purchase.
  • "Game Hub" - A "Game Hub" is simply a base app or menu type app that is the gateway for accessing other games (generally premium paid) that must generally be manually added individually.
  • "Freemium Game" - A "Freemium Game" is a game that you may play for FREE.  An you can likely even fully complete for FREE.  However, there are varying degrees of obstacles and difficulties (in some cases, major difficulties) that would be made much easier by purchasing premium paid extras.  Such as weapons, upgrades, bonus items, etc.
  • "Alternate Achievements" - A game that is technically the same game as its standard version counterpart and has the exact same achievements... But its achievement are actually tracked separately (from its standard version counterpart) on Xbox Live.  So you could actually get credit for all of the achievements an additional time if you play both versions. (For example: "Batman: Arkham Asylum" and "Batman: AA GOTY".
  • "Reverse Compatibility Update" - Allows Game Add-ons from a previous version of a Game to work in the newer Game.
  • "Premium Add-on Compatibility Update" - Allows you to play with those who have bought Premium versions of these Add-ons.
URL Key:

  • Xbox Redeem Code - Redeem Xbox codes here.
  • Xbox Download History - You may re-downloaded most of your previous purchases (FREE or otherwise) from here.
  • xbox.com/xx-XX/ - This xx-XX/ segment of the URL determines what country's Marketplace you're looking at.  Removing this altogether should take you to your default country.  See each country below for each country's xx-XX/ URL segment. (For example, the United States is en-US/.)
  • ?DownloadType=Game#LiveZone - Add this to the end of an Xbox Marketplace URL to see ONLY "Games" for any particular title. No DLC, videos, etc will be shown.  Remove it to see all content for a title.
  • ?nosplash=1 - Add this to the end of an Xbox Marketplace URL to bypass the Splash Page.  Remove it to see the splash page.  Only some games have a Splash Page.  For example, Halo 4 with its splash page vs. Halo 4 without its splash page.
  • ?nosplash=1&DownloadType=Game#LiveZone - Combines the results of the above two URL segments. Although, it's redundant since either URL segment on it's own should remove a splash screen.
  • ?cid=SLink - Coming Soon...

FAQ:

  • Q: How can I contribute to this topic?
    A1: Simply post your additions, updates, clarifications and corrections of free content available for Xbox Live or from the Xbox Live Marketplace.  I'll do my best to keep this Original Post or OP as up to date as i can.  Whenever possible, please post any of the relevant info you can.  This includes:
    The content name.
  • The content type. (Game, DLC, Avatar item, etc.)
  • The country it is available from. (Content from ANY country is allowed so long as you follow the rules.)
  • A link to it in the Xbox Marketplace. (Or other link if applicable.)
  • The start and end dates if possible. (If applicable.)
  • If it's an Avatar item, try and post a picture. Especially from the Xbox Marketplace if possible.

[*]A2: On 4/4/2011, the last version of this topic became a wiki. [1]  You could edit and contribute directly. (This is no longer the case for the old topic nor this one for now.  However, if this ever changes for this new topic, here are some guidelines for how to contribute.)
  • Simply add new FREE items to the list mimicking the layout that is already in place here.  Make sure you add items in the right country and section and add dates and details if possible and/or needed.
  • If you are updating an items that is no longer FREE, it should be crossed out using the "Strike Through" text option.  A date should be added for when the item was no longer FREE and a single asterisk* should be added if it was because the item was "Delisted" or a double asterisk** should be added if the item is still available for purchase.


[*]Q: Is there an easy way to get a Free Xbox Live Gold membership that would qualify me for Gold Exclusive offers in my country?
  • A1: Most (but not all) Xbox 360 consoles have three FREE 1-month Xbox Live Gold memberships ONLY for NEW Xbox Live accounts.  To use one, create a new Xbox Live account OR convert an offline non-Xbox Live Gamertag into a Live account and continually reject the offers to upgrade to Gold until it offers you a free month of Gold.
  • A2: There are occasionally offers out there for a free month of Xbox Live Gold (or something similar) from Microsoft or third parties but these are rare.

[*]Q: What about Gold trial codes? (48-hour, 14-day, etc.) Will using one of these qualify me for Gold exclusive offers in my country?
  • A: To the best of my knowledge, no.  These smaller trial codes are only meant to give you acces to play online and that is all. You cannot use them for Gold exclusives or any other Gold account perks other than to play online. To the best of my knowledge this is the case for all countries.  Please let me know if you are aware of any exceptions.

[*]Q: How can I obtain Marketplace items from countries other than my own?
  • A: Discussion of this nature is currently NOT ALLOWED in this topic!


Notes:

Factoids:

  • This is the largest and most up-to-date compilation of past and present FREE items for Xbox Live.
  • The last version of this topic (here) was the highest rated thread in the forums as of 11/21/2009.
  • Major differences between this new topic and the last version:
    All countries are now included whereas the other topic focused on the US and a fair degree of the UK. (Most other countries got only occasional attention.)
  • It has been completely reorganized and even though there are now more sections for individual countries, there are far less sub-categories in most sections.  For example, "Currently Free" and "Previously Free" items used to be in separate lists.  They are now combined and "Previously Free" items are just crossed out.  This is so that updating the list when items are no longer available for free is much easier and duplicates are no longer really possible. (This will be especially true if this becomes a wiki again.)

News & Updates

Progress Updates:

  • UPDATES: 8/23/2013
    I've now added a "News & Updates" area in the next post just after the OP here! This area will be reserved ONLY for progress updates and current free items that are worth highlighting.
  • Themes and Gamerpics are now listed together since they're so often packaged side by side anyhow.
  • Videos are now listed!

[*]UPDATES: 8/18/2013
  • I'm now going through the old topic one post at a time and copying relevant info into a "To Be Sorted" area just two posts after the OP here. (To make it easier to later add items in a more organized fashion to this main OP list.)

[*]UPDATES: 8/17/2013
  • Ok, this is as far as i'm going to get for now. I realize that there is a lot (especially from between 2-8 weeks ago) that hasn't been added to this yet. But if i keep waiting to add it all, this will never get launched. I will continue to back trace through the old topic and add everything i can. I promise!

[*]UPDATES: 8/152013
  • I keep getting "image type" errors often times when i try to add images of Avatar items into the post so i've only got them in as URLs for now. I'll fix this soon!

Latest Free Content Highlights!

Well looks like nothing for me this month but here are our free games.

Games with Gold for September: Magic 2013 and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas

The next set of free games for Xbox Live Members in September will be Magic 2013 and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas.
Starting Sunday (September 1st) Magic 2013 (Normally US $9.99) will be free for Xbox LIVE Gold members through September 15th .
Then on September 16th, Xbox Live Gold Members can download Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas (Normally US $19.99) for free. Note: South Africa Xbox Live members will receive Shadowrun instead of RSV.

I looked back and the link for the free beta Avatar T-Shirt was never posted. Here it is:
https://xcl.xbox.com/Loot.aspx
It's working now, the avatar items is a T-shirt (codes for both Male and Female):
betat_zpsf268751b.png
Finally got it to work. :)

Doesn't sound like you actually needed to be in the beta to get it.

Once you go to the link, there are three categories for the bottom box. "Ambassador", "Enforcement United" and "Xbox Beta". Just click "Xbox Beta" to find the Beta t-shirt.

The Verizon ad now has a Droid Razr avatar phone available. You have to do a quiz before it is available but then you get to choose one of three colors.

how to get all three colors. For those interested

After you get one on your main profile, log off, go to the dashboard(to be safe) and log in another us profile(it only takes a few minutes to set up a new account on hotmail and then xbl). Find the ad and do the quiz agai (answers don't matter. Go back to the store and pick a different color and download it. after the download, use a second controller to log back into your main profile. log off your fake/secondary profile. then with your main profile select the prop and download it. Do not log into your main profile before selecting a new color with your secondary/fake profile. Thats why you are getting booted to the dashboard. Also, you can delete the extra profile when you are done.

Make sure download to your secondary before switching over. And to be on the safe side, I logged my main profile off and searched for the ad with my secondaries to avoid the booting issue. And keep track of which colors you choosen. Good luck.

-----

There's a new advert out for Target (christmas themed). Go right when you find it and you get a free Target Bullseye (logo) avatar prop. There's also a free gamer pic and theme.

EDIT: I found it in apps (and later in music). It's just a standard picture (no animation) but it's hard to miss with the big Target logo. Good in the US so far.

EDIT #2: The prop is actually the Target Dog with an animation involving a bone. Better than quite a few of the others, imo.

EDIT #3: Okay, WTF. It removed my I (porkchop) minecraft shirt. I went in to add it back and all my avatar award stuff is gone. I removed the prop and no luck. So I guess equip it at your own risk.

EDIT #4: Resetting the console fixed the issue. I should note there's a possibility it wasn't the Target dog that was the culprit, as I removed passwords my red ringed XBoxes earlier. Sort of doubt that would effect props, but just leaving the previous edit around in case it was the prop.
Cute prop. Found it. Thanks for the heads up.

Ad on UK dashboard to get Elysium avatar item and win 55" Sony TV.

-----

Theme: (And Gamerpics)
I think the only thing that makes them premium is whether or not they have custom scenery when you go into your friends bar (like Warthogs on Halo, Cornfields on Left 4 Dead, etc.)

So while it makes sense premiums would be bigger due to those extra images, it's not really a rule as the wallpapers themselves can fluxuate in size enough and get larger. I have a premium theme or two that's measured in KBs still (Borderlands OXM, I think).

If you have Battlefield 3, you can get a free Aftermath theme if you go into the in-game store (under Options) and scroll down to the "Theme" section. It's right under the Paris theme, and is 0msp.

I'm not sure if it's Premium Members only since it was in the Premium Bonus Content Drop, but it's not located in the Premium section of the store. At least it's still free, though.

As a "regular" player the theme is listed at 240 msp unfortunately.


-----

I saw the Geico gecko ad and I was hoping there was going to be some free Geico gecko avatar prop, but it was just some free themes and gamer pics. :(

-----

There's an ad for Chase Liquid on the US dashboard and it has some simple mini-game. The game has your avatar going down a waterslide. You need to dodge different obstacles. There's also a free standard theme if you sign-up for more info on Chase Liquid. Why anyone would want a Chase Liquid theme is beyond me. I think more companies should start giving away free avatar items instead of these advertisement standard themes that no one really wants.

The theme is in the marketplace too so you don't even need the ad to get it.

-----

On the UK dashboard they have a free theme and gamer pic for The Rise of the Guardians. Doesn't appear to be on the US.

-----

I was on my Canadian account earlier and found a free theme of Toronto's skyline that's >3.5 MB. Not premium but it sure looks like pretty good quality. Its listed as CUPO theme.

-----

There are also 2 cars theme that are right above or below 3mb. they're free.

Nicely done. This will be a major undertaking for one member to update the thread on a regular basis so I hope you're up to the task. The wiki add-on will definitely be useful here

Anyway here is an archive I put together from a different site

Hope this helps

Nicely done. This will be a major undertaking for one member to update the thread on a regular basis so I hope you're up to the task. The wiki add-on will definitely be useful here

Anyway here is an archive I put together from a different site

Feel free to use it

Hope this helps

PS: I haven't updated this in a couple of months

<--snip-->
Thank you. Playing catch up will be the hardest part since so many items were never updated to the master list of the old topic. Once it is up to date it shouldn't be so hard as long as i stay on top of it.

Thank you for the list! I will go over it and make sure everything that isn't already added makes it onto the master list.

You might want to go in there and clean up your code, though. A lot of the spoiler tags and such are screwy which makes it a bit hard to navigate.

At first I was incredibly pissed, because of the good amount of work I added to the original OP (thought it was completely trashed and stuff was missing), but after seeing how you are going about everything, I must say, fantastic job!!  Its quite a large undertaking, but it really needed to be done.

Also, I'm not sure the post limit for CAG 2.0, but you might want to move all non-worldwide/usa stuff to an overflow post.  Back when I added a whole bunch to the old OP, I hit the limit and that's why a lot of the old defunct themes had to have their links removed (links are the killer to post limits).  Even if the limit is far greater, it would be helpful for future proofing things...although depending on how wikis implemented, it might not be helpful for the sake of being kept up to date...

This looks like a lot of work, so congrats to that. I almost never looked t the OP in the other thread, I would just check the most recent posts.

Thank you. Yeah, i was thinking Worldwide in the first, US in the next and all the rest after that. I'll probably keep it all in one post, though for now, until it gets to be too much than probably do it that way.

It's like that because I keep getting an error message saying cannot use that image extension here therefore I had to swap out the images with their respective url which is why it looks messy

Devil, you might want to add this to the OP

That makes sense. I was getting the same error on the master list. Sometimes images would work, other times not. Don't worry about it. It's still easy enough to figure out. :)

And, yes... i'll definately add xb360a to the list of indexes. I have a few others to add as well.

Yes, i'll add it. Thank you. I'm going to try to add current stuff first. But i definitely want to make it a complete list of present and past items, too.

 
Wonderful job! This is much better than the last thread we had going.

Now that it's organized, it is way easier to use and read. Keep up the great work!

 
awesome topic, great effort.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is region locked btw

[UPDATES: 3/8/2017]

[Ok, this is as far as i'm going to get for now. I realize that there is a lot (especially from between 2-8 weeks ago) that hasn't been added to this yet. But if i keep waiting to add it all, this will never get launched. I will continue to back trace through the old topic and add everything i can. I promise!]

[UPDATES: 3/7/2017]

[I keep getting "image type" errors often times when i try to add images of Avatar items into the post so i've only got them in as URLs for now. I'll fix this soon!]
You're from the future?!

 
is Lost Planet free with german account , and if yes, do I need VPN .I can't download DR: Case Zero. Isn't available in my country

 
It was, but why on earth do we even need to list things that used to be free and delisted stuff?
I realize that many people are only interested in only what is currently free. That makes perfect sense. However, many others are also interested in an archival record. Obviously i am one of them or i wouldn't have gone to so much work. And since both can live together in one list harmoniously, why not?

 
I'm sure you already know this theDevilman... But Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale was free for Taiwanese accounts not too long ago
It was free for Indian accounts. And Lara Croft Guardian of Light was free for Silver accounts a few months ago for a short period of time. One of those Deal of the Week pricing typos. I'm pretty sure it was the week after Chinese Assassin's Creed.

To appease both parties, it would probably best to separate the what's currently free from the archive itself. Only when the content that is free is over can it then be moved to the archive, but I highly recommend adding all currently free contents as the first thing people see in this thread and everything else in an archive format hidden with a SPOILER button

Like so...

Currently free:

Dead Rising 2 (US)

DR2 Cast Zero (US)

Archive (old and dead)

[customspoiler=show]

[/customspoiler]

Monster Hunter Frontier is free for JP accounts btw.

You need to get the demo, then it gives u 2 codes: 1 for the full game and another for 48-hour gold trial! :)

I can see where you're coming from. But that would take TONS more work to maintain. And it's not like clicking the spoiler tag a few times takes more than a one or two seconds. I already address this in my OP. I have a whole paragraph on it.

 
I love that people have already started asking about getting things from outside their region and those posts have been removed.

I like this thread, both for the content and the hilarity.

Is this going to include Xbox Video content as the old one did, or will someone need to make a new thread to just track those?

 
Under Free DLC, listed for Rock Band 3 is "Johnny Cash 9 song pack"

That's not right, the Johnny Cash pack is 8 songs, the free pack is the Free Pack 01 or something like that, it was the songs that were from 2 and re-released for 3 for free.

But Johnny Cash 01 isn't free they just released at the same time

I'll add a video category. There wasn't actually a video category in the last thread's OP but people often reported videos in the topic. I might as well add a category for it.

Thank you. I'll make the correction. -update- Fixed. :)
