How to Claim Free Xbox One Games With Gold Titles From Xbox 360

Xbox Live Gold members who don't yet own an Xbox One can still claim its free Games With Gold titles every month so that they have access to them if they do eventually get their hands on the system. This isn't new, but Microsoft has now made doing so possible right from an Xbox 360.

The process for claiming Xbox One games is simple: Go to the Games With Gold section in the Xbox 360's dashboard, scroll to the left, select the "Free on Xbox One" option, and make the free purchase. It takes only a few seconds, as evidenced by the Major Nelson walkthrough video below.

Previously, Xbox 360 owners wanting to claim the month's free Xbox One games had to do so through the Xbox website. It's a small new option, but an appreciated one nonetheless.

For the month of March, you can grab both IDARB and Rayman Legends for Xbox One, as well as Tomb Raider for Xbox 360 (and, later this month, BioShock Infinite). The Xbox One games remain yours for as long as you're an Xbox Live Gold subscriber, while the Xbox 360 games are yours forever.
