Microsoft has announced the Games With Gold coming this December, and the list this time has some real winners. There are two games coming to Xbox One and two to Xbox 360 (that are backward compatible for Xbox One) so let’s get started.

Xbox One Games

The first game coming to Xbox One in December is the underrated open-world game Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition. Featuring improved graphics on top of its already great melee combat system, Sleeping Dogs is a game that should be played by more people. It will be available to download from Dec. 1 to 31.

The second game coming in December is Outlast. This horror game sees players exploring the long-abandoned ruins of the Mount Massive Asylum in the mountains of Colorado. Get ready to get scared when this is available to download from Dec. 16 to Jan. 15.

Xbox 360 Games

Not to be confused with Outlast, the first game coming to Xbox 360 in December is Outland. This game is a 2D platformer, inspired by classic games of the genre such as Prince of Persia. Outland will be free to download from Dec. 1 to 15.

The final game coming for free in December is Burnout Paradise. This is the first time a Burnout game went open-world, and its efforts were met with some very positive reviews. Burnout Paradise will be available to download from Dec. 16 to 31.
