Jan 20, 2016 12:52 PM EST

Xbox owners who are enrolled in Microsoft's Gold service program receive free games every month. It costs $40 to become a Gold member, but the games you'll receive are more than that.  Now, we'll give you the list of free games available for this month of January and game predictions for February.

Many tech websites published their own predictions for February games, but these are unverified reports. Sony has not yet made any announcements about Xbox live games next month. However, subscribers can expect that they will receive a bunch of Triple A games with a mix of mediocre titles or small indies. It is interesting to note that the Gold program previously offered blockbuster games like Rise of the Tomb Raider, Halo 5: Guardians, and Forza Motorsport 6.

As of now, Zheros is the only game that is confirmed available for February. The game has a 3D beat'em up gameplay. It is playable in Xbox One until February 15.
