Xbox Live Gold members will be offered these games for free in the new year.
Xbox One:
- Death Trap (January 1st)
- Killer Instinct Season 2 Ultra (January 16th)
Xbox 360:
- The Cave (January 1st)
- Rayman: Origins (January 16th)
Update 30 Dec: Thanks to Green Lego for the heads up, Death Trap is available for download now.
I thought it was Rayman Legends for the Xbox One?
Yep it was
Happy with KI, haven't played it for years so it'll be interesting to give it a go on the One.
Is Killer Instinct where you have to buy all the fighters - like a free to play game with heaps of dlc?
Yes - but season 2 gets you a tonne of content. It's great.
Yeah ultra edition is like the free version plus the season pass.
KI S2 Ultra gives you Killer Instinct 2 Arcade and some extra skins
I guess you could say that. You can buy the game outright (Definitive Edition, cross-play/buy/save XBone/Win10, ~AU$50 currently?), or you can buy the chunks of the game that you want, i.e. individual characters, or any of the three seasons that contain ~8 characters each. Or you can just download the game and play Jago for free, and apparently earn Orchid in the Shadow Lords mode now.
OP preferable imo for this deal to be posted with the direct Microsoft links instead of game spot article. But thanks for the heads up.
Since every ozbargainer will have a XBOX 1 by the end of this year, I reckon there will be more bargains on XBOX games and/or 4K titles posted in 2017 than ever before!
yeah i cant believe how cheap the S is already in aus, it's fantastic tbh. I bought my XBONE on day 1 in 2013 for $600 and now you can get the new release for less than half, great prices atm
Yeah ….Microsoft and others want to own your living room and tv especially if you have a smart phone but not a pc …..add a keyboard and the console becomes a portal with a browser.
I'm amazed how many people have a smart phone but not a pc.
I have a Chromebook and it's great and all, but otherwise I would never have a PC. I only have this because it's lightweight and easy. No one really needs a computer anymore. Your phone can do pretty well everything the average schmuck wants their PC to do nowadays and then some. I'd get by fine with a phone and console.
That's not happening.
@TheDukeOfNukem: >Your phone can do pretty well everything the average schmuck wants their PC to do nowadays and then some
Yeah everyone just loves typing with their thumbs and doing things on a 5.5 inch screen, it's so much better!
@Diji1: Never said it can do it better, but it can do what the average schmuck wants perfectly fine. Average Joe Schmoe only wants to go on Facebook, download the odd song, watch some YouTube, play a casual game or two, and watch some movies. Phones do that fine.
It doesn't play games in 4k :(
No, most will have a ps4 (2 to 1 to be exact) if the sales statistics are reliable.
Wow never heard of these games
Rayman origins is great if you want to do some multiplayer gaming with the girlfriend (or the kids!).
Very good game with lots of fun
Sick of these garbage games
You say potato, i say Potato
Worth noting that Jago from Season 1 is also free in KI by default, as well as another rotating free character who often won't be from the Season 2 roster, and you can earn Orchid from Season 1 in the Shadow Lords mode.
The Season 2 roster is pretty complex, but beginner-friendly characters include TJ Combo and Riptor, as well as Jago and, if you're willing to pay money, Sabrewulf, Thunder, Orchid, Rash, and Tusk. New players should spend a little time in the Dojo when they can to learn the basics, and if you want to go deeper there's a great KI guide at ki.infil.net.
Death trap is a great Tower Defence type game with multiplayer function.
Art style is a little outdated per se (think early download or nox era) but some may like it.
Game plays very old style too on the side of unforgiving.
A little repetitive but hey it's a TD. I am pretty sure the developers were heavily inspired by old warcraft 3 custom maps as they are European I think Russians.
Nonetheless a great homage to the old early days of the TD genre.
Confirmed
Death Trap isn't showing for me. Only last months deals.
A link to each title was posted above. BY Ljackson
my bad, i see it now. thanks
The Cave is an awesome game. Old but great. 360 owners who've never played it should grab it.
Has anyone figured out how to download KI? My screen just says it's only available in bundles and then asks for $40
I went to the store and typed in KI, and one of them was the "free" bundle. Hope this helps!
They gave us Rayman Origins on the xbox one before… why would they give it to us on the 360 as well? Microsoft are weird..
