In January 2017, the free games for Xbox One and Xbox 360 are known, which Gold members can download.
In these turbulent times, you can at least rely on two things: Every month, Sony and Microsoft provide games for their online service members that they can add to their library at no additional cost. And every month, the community heatedly discusses whether the game lineup is disappointing or if there are actually some highlights.
While the “PS Plus” games for January are expected to be announced in a week, we already know the “Games with Gold” for the first month of the new year. Please note that you must have an “Xbox Live Gold” membership to use them at no additional cost. This costs around 60 euros per year.
The Free Games in January 2017
Specifically for Xbox One, there are two games, and two games for both Xbox One and Xbox 360:
Xbox One:
- World of Van Helsing: Deathtrap – entire January 2017 (regular price $19.99)

With these games, Xbox says “Goodbye 2016” and “Hello 2017”. In the following video, you get a good impression of these four Games with Gold:
