Major Nelson - "For the month of January, Xbox Live Gold members will receive four new free games - two on Xbox One and two on Xbox 360."
GF365: "These are our picks for the best side-scroller games on PC. The genre was popular back in the day, and these modern games prove the genre is still alive and well."
Ubisoft is giving away Rayman Origins for free and although it is a decade old, it is still one of the greatest classic platformer titles.
i think they should try to make a rayman 3D open world game for PS5 & Xbox Series X
Still waiting for an origins and legends successor. My wife and i were addicted to these games at the time.
I'll be curious if they make one. If they do, it won't look like they did, at least. Ubisoft retired the UbiArt framework used to make these games, apparently because the tools were too hard to work with across their many studios. Which is a bummer for sure, as I feel those games having a fairly unique aesthetic also benefitted them.
EDIT: Apparently I misremembered. They did say "hence the decision to temporarily put it aside", but they also said "it’s still there, and you will see other things using it". So it sounds like a new game could possibly still use UbiArt.
Fantastic game. Have great memories playing Origins on the Vita.
I will say though, around 2/3s of Origins' levels can actually be unlocked in the even better Rayman Legends which you can find dirt cheap these days.
Legends has so much variety and those music levels are amazing.

Not as great as this month (esp with Lost Odyssey being free) but still decent. Got KI season 2 already- beastage in the yeastage
I have the 360 games but not the Xbox One games. Good games.
Games with Gold - The Service that won't let you down!
I've only played KI and it's amazing. I've got rayman legends but i've heard good things about rayman origins too. I haven't played any of the others and I can't wait to try them all out. Owning a 4TB ext Hdd sure comes in handy also I just realised they are giving out KI sn2 ultra edition. Those still on the fence need to jump on this. Amazing fighting game.
Great selection of titles. I have KI season 2 but the rest are welcome treats.
