Microsoft has confirmed the titles that will make up April's bumper helping of free games on Xbox 360 and Xbox One - if you're an Xbox Live Gold subscriber.

Two titles will be free for Xbox One owners from 1st-31st April: charming Ubisoft platformer Child of Light and shiny ball simulator Pool Nation FX.

Meanwhile, Xbox 360 owners will get shooter prequel Gears of War: Judgment and indie sandbox Terraria between 1st-15th April.

Piratical stabathon Assassin's Creed: Black Flag and naff co-op shooter Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel will then be free between 16th-31st April.

Microsoft has doubled up the freebies for April as a special offer - don't expect the same treatment every month.

The promotion comes as Games with Gold passes the 100m free titles downloaded, with over 5bn Gamerscore earned.
