Yesterday was the Game of Thrones season 5 premiere on HBO. You can imagine how anxious fans might have been to find out how the story progresses after Arya boarded that ship to Braavos at the end of season four last year. If you weren’t able to catch the premiere on HBO last year and happen to be an Xbox Live member there’s good news for you. The Game of Thrones season 5 premiere is free for Xbox Live members.
Simply put this means that the first episodes of Game of Thrones season 5 is available for free to all Xbox Live members that have an Xbox One or Xbox 360. Users can stream the first episode for free until April 16th and can also access additional content like bloopers, on-set tours and trailers.
Before the season premiere even aired on HBO yesterday we found out that the first four episodes of the new season had already been leaked online. Torrents spread on the internet like fire in a forest and then it became a challenge for fans to dodge spoilers, because they were everywhere.
Those who have resisted being enticed by pirated copies of the first four episodes can pat themselves on the back, and if they have an Xbox Live subscription, can view the season premiere for free on their console.
