Van Helsing: December 1-31 on Xbox One

Castle Storm: December 1-15 on Xbox 360 (Also playable on Xbox One)
Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising: December 16-31 on Xbox 360 (Also playable on Xbox One)
Sacred 3: December 16-31 on Xbox 360 (Also playable on Xbox One)

I think you need to get the 360 games for Xbox One via a PC but not sure on this?

Officially you can do it via the browser but as always it is a little weird. Remember you must have a valid payment method registered (Credit card etc) to get the Xbox 360 games even though they are free. You do not need to for Xbox One games with Gold which makes things even more confusing.

Also, I have Van Helsing on Steam but looking forward to trying the Xbox One Version. I hope the port is good, as it..isn't out yet?

I never needed a valid payment for the 360 games before i had the X1, maybe as i have a 360 too this is why?

It looks like you maybe right, that is messed up seeing the games are free.

Maybe if we search for thr games on the X1 they will show up and enable to dowload for people that don't want to put a payment option in?

I tried that and it still asked for a valid payment method so for now it's a little bugged. Hopefully it can be fixed ASAP.

Games with Gold for February 2016.

Can we edit the title of this thread to show 4 free games a month please?

Changed as requested.

The 360 games are still much better. Thief on X1 was good last month.

Remember though its only 4 free games on Xbox One though. 360 users only get two still.

Yeah, some of the Xbox One games have been of...variable quality. Zheroes is utterly dire for example.

Looking forward to trying Styx and Hand Of Fate however.

Check Aprils Games with Gold out!

Wow four amazing games.

Can't believe sunset overdrive were all be free. Played the trial and loved it but never bought it.

I never finished Wolf Among US on the 360 so I'm looking forward to that. I've got Sunset Overdrive already and I got the One version of Saints Row. Looking forward to have a chance to play Dead Space.

Dead space is a trilogy. Naturally I've only played it on PC but got the lot in a humble bundle some time ago. Decent playthrough if you get into it. Online coop campaign the second game too. I've considered rebuying a console for UFC and fight night as well as Forza but it seems Microsoft are making a big push into Xbox Live PC. Not sure how well it's going to go after a disagreement with Epic games over the already dire freemium Forza pc installment. A lot of us would happily just pay the 40 quid for a full game.

As for Saints Row, I just hate it with a passion. My reasoning is justified though. Saints Row 1 was easily one of the best GTA clones I've played with a pretty good story to back it up as well as some great online mode ideas with built in clan capability. They then removed this from the second and just went away with the fairies from there. So personal opinion. Great memories way back though with the first Saints Row.

I assume Borderlands was there because it was last month's?
Amazing game, all three of them. So much replay ability and hours of content without the DLC. One of the rare games where I can actually purchase DLC and feel satisfied it wasn't a cash grab like CoD maps. If it wasn't free though, I'd recommend the series to anyone. Great original games.

It says Saints Row is a backwards compatible game for xBox One users, yet I cannot download it at all. Anyone have any ideas please?

[Stephen]

Saints Row IV? I have it downloaded. Are you trying on the X1?

[MalteseFalcon]

I am yes Stephen.

It should show up in your list then like all other games.

Try downloading it from a PC?
