The one-year anniversary of Games with Gold occurs next month and brings the program to Xbox One, but with a small change that's similar to PlayStation Plus. Games available on Xbox One via the program require a Gold membership to play, which isn't the case for Games with Gold on Xbox 360. Microsoft says that "members will have subscription-based access to free games ranging from top hits to breaking indie stars."

The Games with Gold news comes alongside the reveal that Microsoft will release a Kinect-less version of the Xbox One for $399 USD on June 9. In addition, the American company is ending the Gold membership requirement for streaming apps, like Netflix and Hulu.
