Dead Rising will be free from January 16 through February 15. A remaster of the original, this game sees you play as photojournalist Frank West trapped in a shopping mall in the middle of a zombie outbreak. You have 72 hours to fight off the zombie horde and discover the reason behind the outbreak. With six different endings, there’s tons of replay value here, and a ton of fun to be had as just about anything can be used as a weapon.

For the classics, The King of Fighters XIII will be available from January 1 through January 15 and will be followed by Breakdown from January 16 through January 31. The King of Fighters XIII is an upgraded version of the original arcade classic and the final chapter of the “Ash Saga.” Breakdown is a classic action-adventure fighting game in which you play as Derrick Cole, a man trapped inside a mysterious laboratory who awakes to discover his extraordinary powers. Fight for survival against a corrupt military faction filled with super-human warriors.

For those new to Xbox, Games with Gold provides a fresh batch of free games each month. If you’re looking for the best deal in gaming right now, that’s probably Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

This includes older titles as well as every new Xbox first-party release. It also provides access to EA Play at no extra cost.
