Both Microsoft and Sony announced what their "free" games will be for the month of February 2020. I say "free" like that because, as we all know, you do have to be a subscriber to either Xbox Live, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, or PlayStation Plus in order to gain access to the titles.
With that said, let's get down to business.
Microsoft announced that Xbox One owners will get four titles in February, starting with TT Isle of Man and Fable Heroes. These two titles will be available starting on February 1. Coming in on February 16 is Call of Cthulhu and Star Wars Battlefront. This is the original Battlefront title from 2004, not the newer one released in 2015 by DICE and EA. Sadly, this Battlefront no longer has online gameplay support.
Those eagle eyed of you may have noticed that two of these titles were not exactly developed with the Xbox One in mind. However, thanks to the magic of backwards compatibility, both Fable Heroes and Star Wars Battlefront are playable on the One without issue.
TT Isle of Man
Take on the challenge of Snaefell mountain in the motorcycle racing game, TT Isle of Man. All 37.73 miles of the legendary course is faithfully reproduced in this realistic moto-racing title that will challenge your skills and reflexes. Memorize each section and corner each bend to perfection, all while hurtling along at 180 mph.
Call of Cthulhu
Plunge into a world of cosmic horror and creeping madness in Call of Cthulhu. In the official videogame inspired by the classic pen and paper RPG, investigate a family death on an isolated island where nothing is as it seems. Trust no one in a story filled with strange creatures, weird science and sinister cults, set within the iconic universe of H.P. Lovecraft.
Fable Heroes
Get in on the highly addictive, hack-and-slash adventure title, Fable Heroes. As the heroes of Albion, play up to four players, either competitively or in co-op mode, and collect as many gold coins as you can. Defeat familiar foes and new enemies alike in this fresh spin on the beloved franchise and take playful competition to the next level.
Star Wars Battlefront
Experience an all-time classic with Star Wars Battlefront. Participate in memorable battles from the first six Star Wars films as you fight on the front lines with every weapon and vehicle you see at your disposal. Either by yourself or with an army behind you, the choice is yours to topple the Empire or crush the Rebellion. Note: No online gameplay support.

These games include BioShock: The Collection, The Sims 4, and Firewall Zero Hour. BioShock: The Collection includes the original BioShock, BioShock 2, BioShock Infinite, along with all of the additional single-player content that was released for those titles.

The PlayStation Plus games will be available starting from February 4.
