Xbox begins 2023 with Iris Fall and Autonauts for Gold members

Xbox has announced its first free games for subscribers in 2023. While the news doesn’t cover the first wave of Game Pass additions — though I have no doubt those are coming soon — it does give us the opening salvo for Games with Gold. Those who use Xbox’s online play service have access to two free titles: Iris Fall and Autonauts.

Iris Fall (or Iris.Fall) is a monochrome-styled puzzle adventure game originally published in 2018. The game follows the titular Iris on her journey through a labyrinthine, dream-like world. NEXT Studios developed and published the title, the same developer that made December 2022 Gold title Bladed Fury.
