Check Out February's Xbox Live Games With Gold Lineup

Microsoft just revealed the list of games Live Gold members will get for free next month.

Like usual, members will get four new titles in February – two on Xbox One and two on Xbox 360 – and both of the Xbox 360 games will work on the newer console thanks to its backward-compatibility feature.

On Xbox One, the first-person shooter Shadow Warrior, normally priced at $29.99, will be free for Live Gold members to download all month. Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India, which would regularly set you back $9.99, will be available gratis from Feb. 16 to March 15.

On Xbox 360, the arcade game Split/Second, normally $19.99, will be free from Feb. 1 through Feb. 15. Then, from Feb. 16 through the end of the month, Live Gold members will be able to download the open world racing game Crazy Taxi, normally $9.99, for free.

For more on next month's lineup, check out the video above.

Games with Gold first launched in the summer of 2013, offering free games every month to those with an Xbox Live Gold subscription, which costs $10 a month or $60 annually. Besides the free games, a subscription gets you multiplayer capabilities and some exclusive discounts in the Xbox Store.

Members can still pick up some games from this month's Games with Gold lineup, including the final chapter of the Van Helsing trilogy, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III; the first-person survival horror game Zombi; and the two-person shooter Army of Two.

About Our Expert

Managing Editor, Consumer Electronics

My Experience

I'm PCMag's managing editor for consumer electronics, overseeing an experienced team of analysts covering smart home, home entertainment, wearables, fitness and health tech, and various other product categories. I have been with PCMag for more than 10 years, and in that time have written more than 6,000 articles and reviews for the site. I previously served as an analyst focused on smart home and wearable devices, and before that I was a reporter covering consumer tech news. I'm also a yoga instructor, and have been actively teaching group and private classes for nearly a decade.

Prior to joining PCMag, I was a reporter for SC Magazine, focusing on hackers and computer security. I earned a BS in journalism from West Virginia University, and started my career writing for newspapers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

The Technology I Use

My little Florida beach bungalow is brimming with smart home tech. I have a smart speaker or display in every room, allowing me to control other connected devices by voice. The Nest Hub on my bedside table lets me set wake-up alarms, control my smart light bulbs, and set the temperature on my smart thermostat. I use the Amazon Echo Show 8 on my kitchen counter to browse recipes, reorder protein powder, check the weather, and watch the news while I do dishes.

Because I suffer from allergies, air purifiers are essential. My favorite model is the Dyson Purifier Cool TP07, which doubles as a fan and continuously sends indoor pollution data to its companion mobile app.

My pitbull Bradley sheds, so a good robot vacuum is a must. I currently use a premium Ecovacs Deebot that can both vacuum and mop, empty its own dustbin, and wash its own mop cloth.

For fitness, I like to mix up my routine with cycling, indoor rowing, running, and strength training in addition to yoga. I take classes on the Tonal 2 smart strength training machine, I row indoors on an Aviron machine, and track my beach runs with an Apple Watch while listening to music on my Apple AirPods Pro. On the weekends, I love riding e-bikes like the rugged, beach-friendly Aventon Aventure for fun and fitness.

My job involves a lot of virtual meetings, so a quality webcam, microphone, and ring light are important. I use the Jabra PanaCast 20 webcam, the Elgato Wave: 3 microphone, and a Yesker tripod ring light.

As for my preferred phone platform, I'm an iPhone person, but I've also extensively used Android for product testing.
