Games with Gold: free games on Xbox in January 2022

With the commencement of a fresh year and month—January 2022—Microsoft has unveiled complimentary game additions for Xbox users via its Games with Gold initiative. Xbox Live and Xbox Game Pass members gain access to four new titles: Radiant Silvergun, NeuroVoider, Space Invaders Infinity Gene, and Aground. Unfamiliar with these selections? Explore detailed descriptions and a showcase video to learn more!

Microsoft’s January 2022 Games with Gold: A Mixed Bag?Microsoft kicked off 2022 with its Games with Gold lineup, offering four titles to Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. While the inclusion of free games is always a welcome gesture, this month’s selection presents a somewhat mixed bag, catering to diverse tastes but potentially lacking a standout blockbuster. The lineup includes Radiant Silvergun, a classic shooter known for its demanding gameplay and intense action. This will likely appeal to retro gaming enthusiasts and fans of the genre’s challenging difficulty. On the other hand, NeuroVoider, a twin-stick shooter with rogue-lite elements, offers a more modern take on the genre, promising replayability through its procedural generation.For those seeking a different kind of challenge, Space Invaders Infinity Gene provides a fresh twist on the iconic arcade classic, blending familiar gameplay with modern enhancements. Aground, a survival crafting game, offers a more leisurely, albeit potentially time-consuming, experience.The eclectic nature of this month’s offerings suggests Microsoft is aiming for broad appeal, rather than focusing on a single genre or style. While this inclusivity is laudable, it might leave some gamers feeling underwhelmed. The absence of a major AAA title is noticeable, and the overall selection feels more suited to niche audiences than the broader gaming community. Ultimately, the success of this month’s Games with Gold initiative will depend on individual player preferences and whether the variety offered outweighs the lack of a headlining, widely appealing game.Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-ChiefEditor-in-Chief Prize-winning journalist with over 20 years of international news experience.
