Xbox's Games With Gold has been a little bit mediocre as of late and January 2022's set of games shows this. Here's what we're getting and when you can play them for yourself.

Latest - Games out this week

We are due to see Xbox's Games With Gold for January 2022 on January 1st. This means we only have a few days left until we can grab them for ourselves.

Xbox confirms January 2022 games early
