January 2016 Games with Gold confirmed for Xbox One and Xbox 360

Microsoft has confirmed the January 2016 Games with Gold for the Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Games with Gold gets better every month, especially now you get four games for your latest console thanks to the Xbox One backwards compatibility feature.

And this month is no different. Major Nelson just revealed the four games available for free via Games with Gold from January 1 – 30 2016.

For the Xbox One, Xbox Live Gold members can download Killer Instinct: Season 1 Ultra Edition for free throughout January.

Or, if you don’t fancy an arcade fighter, you could download Zheroes, which is launching through the ID@Xbox service.

There’s not much known about this game, but take a look at the trailer below for some more info.


For Xbox 360 (also playable on Xbox One through backwards compatibility), there’s DiRT Showdown. This rally racer will be offered for free from January 1 – 15.

Then, from January 16 you can grab the excellent Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which will get you set up for the launch of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided in August, 2016.

Let us know what games you’d like to see offered through Games with Gold in February.
