As we reach the halfway point of January, Microsoft is sticking to its Games with Gold schedule by giving out the two remaining free games of the month. Xbox Live Gold members can now get WRC 6 for Xbox One and Far Cry 2 for the Xbox 360. Also, as Far Cry 2 is part of Microsoft"s backward compatibility program, it is up for grabs on the Xbox One as well.
Here are the store pages for Xbox Live Gold members to claim the new freebies directly:
WRC 6 FIA World Rally Championship (Xbox One)
On a race track, it"s the car that makes all the difference. In a rally, it"s the driver. WRC 6 puts you to the test: fog, mud, punctures, night racing, engine breakdowns... you have to deal with it all.
Far Cry 2 (Xbox 360, Xbox One)
You are a gun for hire, trapped in a war-torn African state, stricken with malaria and forced to make deals with corrupt warlords. Your mission is to hunt down and kill The Jackal. This evil arms dealer has been perpetuating this conflict for years, wreaking havoc on the land an all of its innocent people.
For anyone who"s yet to do so, don"t forget that the Xbox One title from the earlier Games with Gold promotion, Celeste, is still available to grab as well.
Any Xbox 360 games that were claimed as part of these promotions will remain playable even if the Xbox Live Gold subscription is discontinued. However, claimed Xbox One games require an active subscription to play them.
