Last week, Microsoft revealed the games heading to the Games with Gold program in February, and two of the four announced titles are now available for claiming.
The first person shooter Shadow Warrior for the Xbox One, and after a longer than usual delay, the arcade racing title Split/Second for the Xbox 360 are now free for Xbox Live Gold members. As always, the latter Xbox 360 game is also playable on Xbox One thanks to backward compatibility.
The two games can be claimed right now via their respective store links listed below:
Shadow Warrior (Xbox One, February 1 - 28)
Shadow Warrior tells the offbeat tale of Zilla Enterprise’s corporate shogun Lo Wang as he is ordered to acquire a legendary blade of limitless power by his deceitful employer. Betrayed and left for dead, Lo Wang learns of the blade’s connection to ancient gods from another realm preparing to push our world to the brink of destruction. Now the reluctant hero must become legend through a masterful combination of gun, blade, magic and wit to uncover the truth behind the demonic invasion and banish evil back into the darkness.
Split/Second (Xbox 360, February 1 - 15)
Split/Second is an intense arcade racing game set within the universe of a mega-budget, prime-time reality TV show. Contestants race to be the 1st across the finish line in a made-for-TV city built for destruction, with the ultimate goal of becoming the season champion. The city is rigged to blow and you’re in control of the action – bridges will fall, buildings will be reduced to clouds of dust and cars blown to pieces - devastating explosions will decimate your rivals and rip apart the track, creating new routes and challenging obstacles. Explosive stunts, demolition and balls-out racing thrills combine to create the ultimate high-octane racing experience! Buckle up...it’s about to get explosive out there!
For anyone who missed out on it, Zombi, the Xbox One Games with Gold title from January, will be up for grabs until February 15. Keep in mind that only claimed Xbox 360 games will remain playable if the Gold subscription is discontinued, while claimed Xbox One games are only accessible with an active subscription.
