New Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Games Will Be Announced Monthly
from Ledger Gazette

Two games are coming for Xbox 360 and the other two will be for the later-version, the Xbox One.

It sounds like it will be monthly announcements to look forward to much like the Games with Gold lists are revealed every four weeks as well.

On to the details of the freebies, MajorNelson.com said that Xbox One, Xbox Live Gold members can download and install for free the action-adventure indie game from NeocoreGames, “The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing“. Thief is a reboot of a 1998 game, and the player controls Garrett in a steampunk Victorian world as the stealth game focuses on stealing from the rich. The game is available from December 15 to January 15. CastleStorm and Sacred 3 are regularly priced at $9.99 and $19.99, respectively.

Microsoft’s Phil Spencer revealed on Twitter earlier this week that announcements for new Xbox One backwards compatibility games will be done on a monthly basis. “Xbox One owners can download their free Xbox 360 Games with Gold from Xbox.com/GameswithGold or from their Xbox 360 console”, explained the post. Originally sold at $9.99, the game will be made available from Dec. 16 to the end of December.

For the rest of December, Xbox 360-owning patrons will be able to do some hacking and slashing in the classic arcade brawler “Sacred 3“. Users who have an Xbox 360 can redeem these titles and then take them and their game saves to the Xbox One without having to pay for a game upgrade or any game extras. Members with Gold subscription will be availing the title “Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising” for free from December 16 to 31.

Titles are available as free downloads for qualifying Xbox Live Gold subscribers in all markets where Xbox Live is available. With Xbox One Backward Compatibility play multiplayer with your friends no matter which console they’re on and enjoy Xbox 360 games with the advanced features of your Xbox One, including Game DVR, Screenshots, and in-home streaming to Windows 10.
