Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is currently available as a free download on Xbox 360 for Xbox Live Gold members. But very soon it won't be. You have all day today and tomorrow to download the game before it returns to its full $20 price on October 16. Start your download on the Xbox Marketplace here.

Even if you don't have an Xbox 360, you may want to pick Ground Zeroes up anyway, as it could one day be supported on Xbox One through backwards compatibility.

Ground Zeroes is free right now on Xbox 360 as part of Microsoft's Games With Gold promotion. It will be replaced by Telltale's The Walking Dead, starting on October 16.

Xbox One owners, meanwhile, can download a free copy of Valiant Hearts: The Great War all month long, while The Walking Dead will be free October 16-November 15.

Ground Zeroes was released in March 2014, earning an 8/10 score from GameSpot. Its follow-up, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, was released in September this year.

I payed for Ground Zeroes a while back on a summer sale on Xbox 360 but didn't download right away. One day I randomly remembered that I had purchased the game, but to my surprise when I went to download it wanted me to PAY for the game. Confused, I checked my purchase history on xbox.com and checked my card statement and I had indeed already been charged for the game. I had only payed either $5 or $10, and it simply wasn't worth the trouble of dealing with customer service. Took my loss, and that marked the last game I bought on XBL. Been buying physical for my Xbox One and leave the digital purchases for Steam and GoG.

Thx. I've forgotten to download metal gear solid ground zero. Don't forget Xbox 360 Games-With-Gold are completely free on 360, you can play the games without a gold subscription

Meh I want a real Metal Gear Solid game not Peace Walker 1.5 or 2. Don't get me wrong, Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain are fun games but they lack a special quality MGS 1,2,3 and 80% of what 4 had. Though im only halfway thru, i can see that the side missions are repetitive, you replay a lot of the same environments, and a lot of the charecters aren't really interesting.

I know that has nothing to do with this article but I just had to say this.

There is better storytelling and emotion in this 2 hr snack than in 100 hrs of The Phantom Doppelganger

You're just copy/pasting at this point, huh, Eddie?

No need for this to be supported on X1 with backwards compat; it's already on X1 AND has been free there.

@SkytheWiz1: exactly what I was thinking. This is one of the worst articles I've seen written on Gamespot.

"Even if you don't have an Xbox 360, you may want to pick Ground Zeroes up anyway, as it could one day be supported on Xbox One through backwards compatibility."
