Assassin's Creed III features the story of Connor as he fights through Templars in the Revolutionary War. First released for the Xbox 360, the game is now playable on the Xbox One due to backward compatibility support, and it can be downloaded from June 1 to June 15.
Dragon Age: Origins, another Xbox 360 title that is now playable on the Xbox One, is the first game in the popular Dragon Age franchise. Fans of Dragon Age: Inquisition should check out where the series started, with the game available for download from June 16 to June 30.
Xbox At E3 2017
The Games with Gold lineup for next month will share the spotlight with E3 2017, the annual event that draws the attention of gamers worldwide.
Microsoft announced that the Xbox FanFest will return for this year's E3, with the three-day event to be an exclusive one for 500 lucky gamers. Participants will receive a customized backpack that is said to be "full of gaming swag," and will also have the chance to play games on the highly anticipated Xbox Project Scorpio.
The Xbox Project Scorpio, described as the most powerful gaming console ever built, will finally be fully unveiled at E3. Among the details that are still unknown regarding the Xbox Project Scorpio is its real name, its final design, its price, and the games that will be available upon its launch in the holiday season.
Microsoft recently confirmed that FPS parity between the Xbox Project Scorpio and the Xbox One will be up to developers, which means that there is no requirement among game makers to use equal frame rates for the two consoles in multiplayer modes.
