Meanwhile, the follow-up to the original aquatic racing game that was launched in 2010 on Xbox Live Arcade, "Hydro Thunder Hurricane," will be available for free for the first half of September. For the latter part of the month, subscribers may download EA Dice's modern military shooter "Battlefield 3" for free. Both games are supported by the console's Backward Compatibility feature.
After availing of the free titles for September 2017, subscribers may have to wait for a few months or more before the arrival of the Xbox One X on Nov. 7.
