After a pretty disappointing set of Xbox Live Games with Gold to end off 2017, the January Games with Gold are serving up a healthy dose of the undead… In case you missed them, there are still a few days to get the last two titles from last month. Then again, there’s always the Xbox Countdown Sale to pick up some games you really want at discounts of up to 85% (for Gold members). Without further ado, it’s that time of the month again where we get to find out what January Games with Gold Xbox has in store for Xbox Live Gold members. As always, the two Xbox 360 games below are Backward Compatible on the Xbox One (check out our Xbox One X review in case you missed it) once they’re available on their respective dates.
Let’s check out what Xbox is offering Xbox Live Gold members in January!
