2006 Xbox 360 Classic Can Now Be Played for Free

As a seasoned gamer with memories that stretch back to the Xbox 360 era of 2006, I must say it’s quite amusing to see the resurgence of games from that epoch. Back then, we were knee-deep in a cornucopia of gaming goodness – from Bully and Gears of War to Dead Rising and Wii Sports. It’s fascinating how some titles have faded into obscurity while others have returned with a modern twist.


2006’s Xbox 360 classic games are now available to play for free not just on Xbox Series X and S, but also on PS5 and Steam. In 2006, gamers were engrossed in a variety of titles such as Bully, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Gears of War, Saints Row, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, New Super Mario Bros, Sonic the Hedgehog, Company of Heroes, Okami, Guitar Hero II, Final Fantasy XII, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Burnout Revenge, Medieval II: Total War, Dwarf Fortress, Armadillo Run, Daxter, Viva Piñata, Prey, Call of Duty 3, Hitman: Blood Money, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, and Wii Sports.

2006 was quite an eventful year for gaming, but many of the series and games mentioned have been relatively inactive since then. However, one game from 2006 that had been dormant but recently resurfaced with a new remaster this year is Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, which is essentially an updated version of Dead Rising, a game that significantly shaped the early era of Xbox 360 gaming.

Initially exclusive to Xbox 360 upon its release, Capcom’s game was both praised by critics and popular among consumers, as demonstrated by its inclusion in the Xbox 360 Platinum Hits lineup and the subsequent three sequels that were produced. This success led to an impressive Metacritic score of 85 and millions of units sold.

2024 found me eagerly anticipating September 19, the day they rejuvenated an 18-year-old classic game with a fresh coat of modernity. The remastered version retails at $50, but luckily, I can get a taste for free through a brand-new demo of the game!

As a gamer, diving into the freshly polished remaster’s opening scene feels like stepping into a brand-new world. However, it’s uncertain how deep I can delve before reaching the demo’s limit. One thing that’s certain is that any ground I gain in this preview won’t follow me when I decide to purchase the complete game.

One day, the serene town of Willamette, Colorado, was sealed off by the U.S. military due to unforeseen circumstances, as described in the game’s introduction for those needing a refresher or who are new to it. Freelance journalist, Frank West, senses an opportunity and manages to gain entry into the town’s solitary mall. However, this once bustling shopping center had been transformed into a horrifying landscape teeming with hordes of zombies. With help arriving in 72 hours, it falls upon him to uncover the secrets behind this catastrophe before time runs out!
