Xbox Live Gold subscribers have two new free games to download and play, thanks to Games With Gold. January is here, which means the first free Xbox Live Gold games of 2021 are here. 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 has a sequel next month. Meanwhile, the other free game is The King of Fighters XIII, which debuted over a decade ago in 2010. The former is an Xbox One game played on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S by reverse compatibility, while the latter is an Xbox 360 game playable on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S using the same technology. That being said, while Little nightmares it’s free for the whole month, The King of Fighters XIII is only free until January 15.
As always, these free gifts are limited to Xbox Live Gold subscribers and are permanent downloads. In other words, once downloaded, both games are yours to keep forever, as long as you keep an active subscription. If your subscription expires, you will be blocked from both games until you subscribe to or purchase the backup.
Obviously, the most notable game here is Little nightmares, which was released with critical acclaim and strong sales through Tarsier and Bandai Namco studios.
