    TA is claiming Lego Batman 2 is free now but on my Xbox 360 it still shows $20? :( Anybody else unable to download it for free?
    Same issue on both of my gold accounts, I want to purchase them on the 360 and not on the XB1 so I have the license on the console. I hope they fix this.

    Try playing it without your gold account logged in on the 360 and see if it still works, my guess is no. If you purchase it on the 360, anyone on that 360 can play it without the gold account being logged in.

    I don't have an X1 so I can't claim it there :( I only have a 360 due to my very tiny bandwidth limit.

    Editing to add that it still says Rocket Knight is free and looking up Lego Batman 2 still shows it at $20 :( How do I get it for free on my 360? Again, I don't have an X1, I can't get one due to my tiny bandwidth limits. :(

    Ive been playing it with only one of my dummy accounts logged in on the 360 and it works fine. So claiming it via the One (Series X actually, though i doubt if that makes a difference) works the same as claiming it through the 360. If you want to wait for Microsoft to sort it out on the 360 store though, it'll probably show as free there anyway any time soon

    Thanks for the info, I'll give it a shot that way if they don't sort it out on the 360 in a few days.

    Certainly a mistake, so grab it while you can.

    Lego Batman has been listed for free for a few months it seems already. It was GWG awhile back and I never saw the price go back up on it. Maybe they forgot? LoL Lego Batman 2 is free according to some people on Xbox One but it's not being listed free on Xbox 360.

    I just tried to download Lego Batman 2 on my Xbox, and I'm also getting Lego Batman (the original) instead. It was GWG a few months ago, so my option is to Download Again.

    Edit: I went to the Microsoft Store online, and got it for free after I signed in. However, it still doesn't download on my 360!

    Second Edit: I got it downloaded on my 360 by then going, on my 360, to the game store and searching for Lego Batman 2. It said I had already purchased it, and then I could finally download it.

    Same issue it not showing up on 360 for me in the UK

    Basically what you have to do is go log onto the Microsoft Store on your computer, click the option to download to Xbox One, then it will be locked to your account. So then manually search for it via the store on your 360, and download it then. Because it was "downloaded" already (from clicking it on the microsoft store on your PC) it'll ask if you want to download again, just say yes but either way it's now being downloaded properly to your 360. That's what I did anyway. I also messaged the Xbox page on facebook to let them know the issue but we'll see if they fix it.

    I have a general question. Why is there Bloodstained artwork for Kingdom: Two Crowns? Is there some weird tie-in with it because those are two very different games.

    For what it's worth, I just checked on my 360 to see if the issue with Lego Batman 2 has been fixed. It hasn't, but instead of the game being $20, it's now listed as $5. I just bought it, because that's not a bad price, I actually do want the game, it's obviously not getting fixed, and none the other "solutions" suggested above will accomplish the goal of acquiring the console license for your Xbox 360 (though they will accomplish the goal of granting you permission to play the game as long as you're connected to Xbox Live).

    For people who understand what I'm talking about, you can grab the game for $5 right now. For people who don't understand or care about the licenses/DRM/under-the-hood ownership and access rights, enjoy your free game.

    Games with Gold work like this :
    Xbox 360 game -> You keep it "forever" (even if your subscription ends)
    Xbox One game -> You keep it as long as you're subscribed to either Gold or Game Pass Ultimate

    Each game is on "sale" for 15 to 30 days, during this period, you can grab them (but you need to be Gold or GPU remember), and after their sale period, if you missed them, too bad for you, if you did get them, please refer to the first part of my post.

    toast

    Ok. Thank you for the info. I have 3 years work of GPU so I should be good until 2024
