Microsoft has started a pretty special promotion for its fans from North America, giving away free Xbox One consoles as well as full copies of Killer Instinct, the free-to-play fighting game.

The Xbox One is set to debut on November 22, and Microsoft is currently getting ready for a final push in terms of marketing for its next-gen console.

Now, it's apparently started to give away free Xbox One consoles to certain faithful fans, while others have received full copies of Killer Instinct, the free-to-play fighting game that will arrive on launch day for the new console.

Microsoft confirmed on its Twitter that several factors had been taken into consideration for this giveaway, including the number of Gamerscore points, the age of the Xbox Live account, and other such things.

It's unclear just how many consoles and copies of Killer Instinct are being offered for free.
