Starting Oct. 1 thru 31, Xbox One owners will get to play indie-game Chariot for free. Developed by Frima Studios, Chariot primarily designed for co-op multiplayer. It is possible to finish the game without a companion. However, single-players will only have access to about 80 percent of the content.

Chariot follows the traditional side-scrolling layout. Even so, the presentation is visually stunning with colorful graphics. The plot follows the adventures of a princess who drags a cart containing her father's corpse to the final resting place. Along the way, she must collect jewelry to appease the king's spirit - who wants to be buried with treasure. Fortunately, the princess is aided by a faithful companion, who is controlled by the second player.

Regarded as expendable, the group is tasked with recovering a dangerous weapon before its falls into the wrong hands. The critically-acclaimed classic features destructible buildings in environments that include snow, jungle, and desert.

From Oct. 16 thru 31, Xbox 360 owners will be able to download Darksiders II. This action RPG features a hack-and-slash style of gameplay.
