We are now in the middle of March, which means Xbox Live Gold subscribers will receive a bunch of free games again. It only costs $40 to become a Gold member, but the games and freebies you'll receive are much more than that. Now, here are our game predictions for April and the list of free games this month.

There is no official announcement from Microsoft about the free games for April, but speculations have already surfaced. Based on the latest tweet from Xbox, it seems that gamers can expect something big next month. The official Twitter account of Xbox posted, "Next: up April blockbusters."

After reading the teaser, some gamers also posted their game requests for next month. Will Xbox grant those requests? We'll find out on April.

 It is also interesting to note that the Xbox Gold program previously offered blockbuster games like Forza Motorsport 6, Halo 5: Guardians and Rise of The Tomb Raider.

While waiting for the next batch of free games, here's the new slate of free Xbox One and Xbox 360 games. Xbox One users received two free games, while Xbox 360 owners got one.
