Just stumbled across this game for free.

Note: This game is free for Xbox users who have previously purchased a digital copy of the original Castle Crashers for Xbox 360 (released in 2008)

Otherwise, it will cost $19.99 AUD.

Hadn't come up in the Games for Gold this month so there must be some sort of promotion going on. Fun little game which has been upped to 60fps on Xbox One with other improvements over the 360 version.

EDIT: Unconfirmed, but you may have needed to own the 360 version to see the remastered version for free.

      Or me

    • lukethefish on 17/03/2018 - 16:01

      Worked for me, did you try and buy at the normal price? Think that's what I did then it updated to free.

      • sunnyday on 17/03/2018 - 16:04

        AUD 19.95 for me, no deal

      • hollykryten on 17/03/2018 - 16:07

        I did that and it's wanting to charge me $19.95. I do have both an active Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass. This is trying to do it on the web site through my PC so if that has any thing to do with it. I'll try it through my Xbox One S now.

    • hollykryten on 17/03/2018 - 16:03

      Or me either.

      It was free for me after logging in.
      I "bought" via the console instead of webpage (even though it said free there too).

  • star64 on 17/03/2018 - 16:05

    Did not work for me.
    Maybe for those that got it for free they have the Xbox 360 version, because there was a promotion to get this game free if you had the xbox 360 version.
    Maybe they brought it back.

  • Hasquarl on 17/03/2018 - 16:10

    It was originally $19.95, but then became free after I signed in. I own the original on 360, so maybe that's why it is free for me.

  • hollykryten on 17/03/2018 - 16:11

    Won't work for me through my Xbox One S. It still wants to charge $19.95. So it's not really free. The only free is the trial.

    So i'm thinking perhaps the OP got the Xbox 360 version because he quoted normally $14.95. When it's $19.95 for it on the store for Xbox One.

  • Nickwpearce on 17/03/2018 - 16:11

    Not free, this needs to be deleted…

    I can see try for free… maybe a trial?

    • hollykryten on 17/03/2018 - 16:12

      No i'm thinking it's the Xbox 360 version that's being given away for free. OP said normally $14.95. Xbox One version on the store is $19.95 and is not free at all.

      So any one who has an Xbox One are out of luck is not free.

  • Nickwpearce on 17/03/2018 - 16:16

    Nope not free either…

    USA is 14.95 maybe wrong site as thats what the link goes to not the aus site…

    Needs to be deleted

    • lukethefish on 17/03/2018 - 16:18

      Worked for me on Australia site

        Have a check. I bet you owned the original Castle Crashers on your account.

        Any one who doesn't own the older version are being asked to pay $19.95 AUD.

        • lukethefish on 17/03/2018 - 22:04

          Yeah pretty sure you are right!

    • hollykryten on 17/03/2018 - 16:19

      But the OP quotes $14.99, not $14.95.

      This is interesting however it's dated in 2005. But it says that Castle Crashers Remastered is free is you own the original Castle Crashes. So perhaps it's a case of the OP owned the original Castle Crashers on the account and so he/she got offered the Remastered version for free.

    If you bought it on the 360, you could get the remaster for free.

    https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2015/09/09/games-castle-crashers…

    If it’s not that, then it must be a trial.

    • lukethefish on 17/03/2018 - 16:19

      Maybe it's this, I think I probably had it on 360 via games with gold.

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 17/03/2018 - 16:20

    Can confirm not free for me either.

    • hollykryten on 17/03/2018 - 16:22

      Yes because you need to already own the original Castle Crashers for Xbox 360 in order to get the Remastered version for free.

      • TheDukeOfNukem on 17/03/2018 - 16:54

        We know that now. That's not what was posted when I commented though, was it.

  • hollykryten on 17/03/2018 - 16:21

    Yes. Any one who doesn't already own the original Castle Crashers on Xbox 360 have to pay the $19.95 AUD for the Remastered on Xbox One. Those who have it get the Remastered version for free. It's just a case of that. It's just an Remastered update version for a game that you had already previously paid for.

  • baratta on 17/03/2018 - 16:59

    Worked for me - thanks OP. Owned 360 version and have gold sub.

  • hollykryten on 17/03/2018 - 17:09

    Why does the title and description say $19.99 AUD when it's really $19.95 AUD. A small mistake has happened there.

  • King Steuart on 17/03/2018 - 17:13

    Thanks grabbed it. I own the original but do not have gold at the moment.

    • hollykryten on 17/03/2018 - 17:49

      Then it hasn't got any thing to do with Xbox Live Gold.

  • [Deactivated] on 17/03/2018 - 17:26

    Remastered version was already in my owned games alongside the 360 game purchased years ago. Didn't have to do anything to get it.

  • GDkid1412 on 17/03/2018 - 18:04

    Thanks OP

    This is prob one of the best beat-them-up game i played in last 10 yrs

  • ryang on 17/03/2018 - 18:18

    Free here as well - had the original though, which was also free from Games with Gold! :D

  • rysith on 17/03/2018 - 18:22

    Worked for me, owned the original on 360 as well.

    Cheers for the heads up, never knew they made this free for previous owners.

  • [Deactivated] on 17/03/2018 - 20:19

    This was meant to be free like 3 years ago for all people that owned the 360 version but for some reason it wasnt available for Aussies until just recently.

    • Smigit on 17/03/2018 - 21:34

      Yeah. Wasn’t submitted for classification I think. I’d grabbed it for free from the US store when it was easier to buy cross region but.
