From now until the end of the month, all Xbox Live Gold subscribers can download and play Little nightmares, one of the best games of 2017 and a game that will have a sequel next month. Meanwhile, the other free game is The King of Fighters XIII, which debuted more than a decade ago in 2010. The former is an Xbox One game playable on the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S for backward compatibility, while the latter is an Xbox 360 game playable on the Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S through the same technology.
