FULL LIST: All discounted games on Xbox Live over the holidays

Microsoft is offering massive discounts for Xbox Live gamers over the holidays. Discounts are offered in two waves for Xbox One, Xbox 360 and a range of Windows devices. Here is the first wave list.

Below you find the first wave of discounted Xbox Live games valid until December 29th. Microsoft will also rotate daily deals until the end of the year and promotes paid Xbox Live Gold subscribtions with an additional discount of up to 10%. Follow Major Nelson on Twitter to get the latest deals when they come out.

Microsoft´s focus on online gamers using Xbox Live cannot be overseen during Xmas season. Compared with Sonys PS4, Microsoft has a hard time gaining market share and uses deals to get new users onboard Xbox Live.

The Xbox One remains substantially behind PS4's sales as total sales are said to be only between 15 and 18 million. With the last earnings release in October Microsoft had changed its reporting practices for Xbox consoles. For the first time, concrete numbers of Xbox shipments were missing and they just reported “engagement” based on Xbox Live usership as the leading statistic.
