In January, Xbox One owners with an active Xbox Live subscription are getting four new free games as part of the ongoing Games with Gold program, which translate to over $89 of savings. Through the month of January 2017, members can download World of Van Helsing: Deathtrap, Killer Instinct Season 2 Ultra Edition, The Cave, and Rayman Origins.
As always, two of the games for January 2017 are available for Xbox One, and the other two on Xbox 360. However, you can play every game available through the Game with Gold program on Xbox One using Backward Compatibility.
