SHADOW of the Tomb Raider will be available for free to Xbox Game Pass subscribers from February 7.
That means subscribers to the Netflix-for-games service can play all of Lara's latest adventure without paying a penny more than their usual subscription fee.
If you aren't a subscriber, you can nab a 14-day trial from the Microsoft Store -- which should be more than enough time to blast through Lara's adventure.
If you want to stick around, though, then you can also play Square's other rebooted Tomb Raider games on the service -- both Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider are on there too.
Next week Crackdown 3 is going to be added to the service on the same day it's released in shops, so you can indulge in all your city-destroying fantasies at the earliest opportunity.
Other highlights this month include The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season from the now-defunct Telltale.
Pumped BMX Pro, de Blob and Batman: Return to Arkham -- the Xbox One remasters of Rocksteady Classics Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City -- are also coming to the service this month.
- Xbox Game Pass, FREE 14 day trial -
- Xbox Game Pass, 12 Months subscription, £47.99 -
Xbox Live Gold gives you a small number of free games every month, discounts on games in the Xbox Store, and access to online multiplayer functions in many games.
Xbox Game Pass, meanwhile, is an entirely different kettle of fish.

It is basically Netflix but for Xbox One games, letting you pick and choose from a library of over 100 games.
That library is being constantly updated too, with new Xbox One exclusives being added to it on the day they launch.
You also get 20 per cent off purchases and 10 per cent off add-ons for games in the library while you're a subscriber, so if you end your subscription or find out a game you love is being taken off the service you can carry on playing.
If you're a fan of Game Pass, expect more services like it to come. Microsoft's project xCloud and the rumoured plans for a streaming Xbox One and the focus for the Xbox Two all suggest moves in that direction.
