Classic Japanese action flick Battle Royale will be available to rent for free on Xbox Live this weekend courtesy of Square Enix.

The film will go free to UK users for 48 hours this Saturday, March 28 in celebration of last week’s launch of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, the latest entry in the popular JRPG series that sees a group of students battling to save the world from an apocalyptic event.

Renting the film would usually set you back £2.49.

Make sure you’re 18 or over if you planning on watching it, though: the film was banned in certain parts of the world for its grizzly, controversial content.

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is available now on PS4 and Xbox One.
