Xbox Games With Gold: January 2017 Line-up & 2 Extra Free Games!

For the last year, Microsoft has been on a hot streak with Xbox’s Games With Gold, and it doesn’t look like their planning on stopping anytime soon.

Starting all throughout January, Xbox One users can download World of Van Helsing: DeathTrap, while both 360 and one users can enjoy Double Fine’s The Cave from January 1st through the 15th. Now things heat up a bit. From January 16th to February 15th, Xbox One owners can ultra combo their way back into KI with Killer Instinct Season 2. Don’t count out 360 though, because from the 16th through the 31st both Xbox users can download the critically acclaimed Rayman Origins!

BUT WAIT! We’re still not done with free games! That’s right, Microsoft seems to be acting very generous this month as there are actually 2 other surprise games that Xbox One users can download from Games With Gold. By logging onto the Japanese Xbox store with your U.S account, you’ll be able to access and download Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, meanwhile you can access the German Xbox store to claim a free copy of the game Kalimba.
