The Xbox Game Pass Perks program is a neat little bonus for members of the 'Ultimate' tier who can benefit from a series of cool freebies, and to kick off January 2025, there are loads of free Xbox Perks that you can claim right now!
We're doing things a little differently with these guides in 2025 - instead of highlighting just the newest Perks, we're focusing on all the Perks you can claim in a single month, even if they were originally added as early as last year.
You'll also now find the exact date for which you can claim these Perks by, which hopefully means you won't miss out on anything by mistake. We'll keep updating this January guide throughout the month when more Perks are added.
