Can I get Xbox One Games with Gold if I don't have an Xbox One?

Is this possible? I have a 360 but when I try to get the games for the One online it crashes on me.

Solution 1:

You are able to get the free Xbox One games without the system, assuming you have an Xbox Live Gold account.

1. Go to the Games with Gold page

2. Click the game you wish to "purchase"

3. Select "Buy Now"

4. Log in, if prompted

5. Double check that screen says "Free" (see image below)

6. Click "Confirm"

Note: I do not own an Xbox One, nor have I ever had my account used on one. I do have an Xbox 360 which my account is used on. Additionally, my profile and system are both US region. Not sure if that matters or if anyone with Xbox Live Gold can use this method.

UPDATE: After purchasing an Xbox One, I had used these steps to get 5 games onto my account. When trying to download them, you must have a non-trial Xbox Live Gold account for the installation to finish. That said, I can verify that getting the games through this method will be available for play when you setup an Xbox One with your account.
