Yesterday the free titles you can download as an Xbox Live Gold subscriber next month were announced. On Xbox 360 we're getting Plants vs. Zombies (July 1-15) and Gears of War 3 (July 16-31), and on Xbox One we're getting Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and So Many Me. As you probably noticed, there were two new games for Xbox One, where usually there's just one. Major Nelson explains:

"This July represents two full years since we began giving Gold members access to amazing games, completely free. As a special thank you to our Xbox fans, we're announcing that starting in July, Games with Gold will offer two new games on Xbox One every month."

It seems both titles won't hit Games with Gold on the same day though as Black Flag (July 1-31) and So Many Me (July 16-Aug 15). Possibly a move to ease the stress that new games with Games with Gold cause on day one.
