I only just got xb1 but read KI only released with a couple of characters.

Out of curiosity, how do you get to download the XB360 games?
My XBOne only shows me the XBOne Games?
nigelbutler to pgilc1
21 Dec 15#21
either use a 360 to add or use the xbox website.... dont think you can use xb1 alone to get them which is a bit odd
benjammin316 to pgilc1
21 Dec 15#22
Can grab them from xbox.com Broseph

You can either use a PC or even your xbo and go on the Xbox website and get the 360 games. then they will be in the ready to install section, in your games and apps.

Dues ex is an amazing game, I will be very happy to see this back on my system after trading it in :sunglasses:
I was a little disappointed with the version of killer instinct in the rare collection and the xbox one version is freemium, so this is great news. to quote the snes version ULTRA ULTRA!

Two awesome 360 games, showdown is tons of fun, and i never played Deus Ex but heard good things. and it wasn't long ago i was told Killer Instinct would never come to Gold, glad i saved my monies..
Dr4gOns_FuRy to haritori
21 Dec 151#58
Showdown is a great spin off from the Dirt series, really enjoyed it. Deus Ex is really good too, great game to have in the collection.
Two good games to give away, shame I own them both on Steam but will add them to my account nonetheless.
I believe the newer version is the Directors Cut, doesn't look like that is the one being given away.

Deus Ex
Good excuse to have another go at this - its semi open world so when you are in a location you can wander around etc but you cannot return once you leave meaning make sure you do any side missions before you go - you do return to some locations later in the game but the missions change.

Another good month. (especially the Killer instinct Ultra Edition)
Good timing by MS it will give the newbies time to get up to speed as Killer Instinct season 3 is currently targeting a March, 2016 release date which is when Killer Instinct is also released on PC and It will support cross-play between the two platforms.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution's sequel, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is due for release in summer 2016.

Serious question, is this the same as Sonys rental service? I.e stop paying and you can't play the games?
benjammin316 to 581d
22 Dec 151#70
Yes. Same business model
Only difference is, we only have to pay £18-£20 for a year.
Playstation owners get shafted again and again :laughing:
Dr_Bawbag to 581d
22 Dec 15#76
Whilst you lose the X1 games if your sub expires, it's nothing really like Sony's rental service. A rental service is paying for a specific service - rental, whereas Gold, just like PSN allows you to play all games online amongst other things. It's not centered around a single service. Unsubscribe to Sony's rental service, you don't lose the ability to play online, just not able to play rented games.
shasnir to 581d
22 Dec 15#78
Yes both PS4 and Xbox one rely on subscription to keep the games and to be able to play against others online.
Only Xbox 360 allows you to keep the games if you stop subscribing.
Ionicsoundwave
22 Dec 15#69
Pretty glad they're giving us K.I
Already own it but have the basic combo breaker version (without all the costumes) so pretty happy with this!
Will sell on my copy and go digital!
seany1977
22 Dec 15#71
and that is why I don't play FPS games online anymore because of you and people like you. Gears is shallow anyway. The only gun that is used in that game is the Gnasher. It's pointless having any other loadout. People love to exploit FPS games online and that's what annoys me about them.

Great deal- Voted HOT. Do you know if you can download 360 backward compatible game (like Dirt showdown) onto XB1 hard drive?? I have no more space on my XBox 360 - I only have a 12 GB HD. But on XB1, I have 780 GB
Yes, if you don't like it, you don't have to come in and comment. We all know stuff is cheap at CDKeys too, but that's posted every day.
Merry Xmas

22 Dec 151#95
Sure, but as of right now there is no way to "purchase" the free games with gold games on the xbox one annoyingly.
So what I do is just get them from the xbox one website, they are then waiting in my ready to install queue

"buy " them from the xbox website is the easiest mate

Aren't they supposed to be free?

They are free yes. Hence the " over "buy"
When you get the games with gold games, you are essentially "buying" them, for free. and they will be accessible on your account thereafter
Grab them from the website, and they will be in your ready to download queue on the Xbox One

For Killer Instinct, you can download the Classic Game & the Combo Breaker Add On (£15.99) For free, BUT you have to do it from the XBox One itself.
The classic game shows as Bundle Only on the Xbox website, and the combo breaker add on still priced as £15.99
SO search Killer Instinct on the Xbox One and look for the add ons, enjoy!
