Also one of September's Games With Gold for the Xbox One, “Oxenfree,” will still be available to download until October 15.
'Rayman 3 HD'
“Rayman 3 HD” will be free to download from October 1 until the fifteenth and will become backwards compatible the first day it is available. The game came out back in March 2012 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 as a high-definition rerelease of 2003's “Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc.”
It is a platformer revolving around Rayman's quest to stop an evil black lum from taking over the world and is also noted for its lightheartedness.
The game received a Metacritic score of 69 from 17 critic reviews when it came out. Since the game was part of Xbox Live Arcade, it only has 12 achievements worth 200 Gamerscore.
'Medal of Honor: Airborne'
“Medal of Honor: Airborne” will be free to download from October 16 until the thirty-first and, like “Rayman 3 HD,” will become backwards compatible the day it is available. The game came out back in March 2007 and was met with decent reviews, earning a 73 from 54 critic reviews on Metacritic.
