Halo: Reach, the second of August's Games with Gold titles for Xbox 360, is now available for download for free if you are an Xbox LIVE Gold member.
Written as a prequel to Master Chief's storyline, Halo: Reach sees you "relive the tragic and heroic story of Noble Team, a group of Spartans, who through great sacrifice and courage saved countless lives in the face of impossible odds."
"The planet Reach is humanity’s last line of defense between the encroaching alien alliance known as the Covenant and their ultimate goal, the destruction of Earth. If it falls, humanity will be perched on the brink of destruction," the description reads.
With Halo: The Master Chief Collection coming to Xbox One this November, Halo: Reach — should you still own an Xbox 360 — is the perfect place to start. It will be free to download today through September 30, at which point it will be replaced by October's free Games with Gold offerings.
