Xbox Live Gold games for July announced

Inside! Big Crown: Showdown! Castlevania: Symphony of the Night! More!

Microsoft has announced the July Xbox Live Gold titles, and it's an... okay month.

July brings with it four new free games to Gold subscribers: two on Xbox One, and two on Xbox 360 that are playable on Xbox One via backward compatibility.

The best of the bunch is undoubtedly Playdead's wonderful sidescroller Inside, which is free for the entire month of July on Xbox One.

Also on Xbox One is four-player multiplayer game Big Crown: Showdown, which is a free download 16th July to 15th August.
