Just spotted this elsewhere. Ben Hur is now free on Xbox.com
It's not the best game ever apparently, but it's free.
It won't currently show from the link provided, you need to drop change the region (bottom left of page) to United States.
Take the reins of the most exhilarating chariot race in history, as you become Ben-Hur. Inspired by this year’s reimagining of the epic film, brave the twists of an ancient Roman arena and battle deadly charioteers for your life and the freedom of your family. In this race… the first to finish is the last to die. Experience the glory - and brutality - of ancient Rome. Race merciless charioteers through a stunning re-creation of the Roman arena in Jerusalem, fueled by the visual horsepower of the Xbox One. Race for glory. Crush your rivals. Show no mercy and survive each race by avoiding obstacles and using them against your rivals. Each victory unlocks more difficult tracks, and drives you closer to victory. But if your chariot’s health runs out, so do your chances at freedom. Hurtle towards vengeance. Step into the story of Judah Ben-Hur. Betrayed by your own brother, the ancient arena is your road to revenge. With each race that you win, you’ll sharpen your skills for the final battle.

Login to your Xbox account on a PC/laptop and change your region to US to "buy" the game. Turn on your Xbox and change the region in the settings to US to find the game in your 'Ready to Install' list. Install, change back your region and away you go (you'll need to reset your Xbox after each region change).
Great stuff...thanks very much I am downloading now.
Much appreciated!

Ive claimed the game via the webstore (I had to change to US region first) and I own a licence now. Unfortunately, it isnt appearing on my console as ready to install as the game is not at this stage 'live' in the UK. If I moved to the US, used a VPN or changed my console region to US then it should appear on my console.

Free is free but who the fudge would think of this?
I mean they did but whyyyyyyyy
Although I do question a review which says, "while trying to avoid pushing your hoses too hard". Man do I know that feeling, but its not normally something which happens when playing even the best of games :smile:
