Charging for a Free Game Live Gold

When I try to download this game for free with live gold I am charged,any reason for this?

Hi,

Gold X360 backward compatible games will always show you a Buy This Game.

But, that's no problem, click on Buy This Game and you will see Free if your Gold Subscription is valid. You will also need a valid payment associated to your account.

Excerpt from the FAQ

"When I try to download a game from Xbox.com I get a message that says "You have no valid payment options on file." Will I be charged for the free Games with Gold?

You won’t be charged for the Games with Gold download. The Xbox.com Store requires a valid payment option to download Xbox 360 games. However, no charges will be made since Games with Gold is free to Xbox Live Gold members."

Hope this help

Cheers

The Microsoft Store requires a valid payment option to download Xbox games. However, no charges will be made since Games with Gold is free to Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members.

If you're downloading it from an Xbox One or xbox.com, you would need a credit card/paypal on file in order to make the purchase. In order to download it without adding a credit card/Paypal, is to make the purchase from a 360 console.

PS4 Free to Play multiplayer games won't charge the users so they can play online for free, Xbox One won't offer the same.
