Microsoft and the Xbox team have not yet announced what games they are going to offer for Xbox Games with Gold members for the month of August, but several reports have tallied what paid subscribers might be able to look forward to. The official list will be announced at the turn of the month. 

According to a report from the IBTimes, Xbox Games with Gold is most likely going to offer "Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag" for Xbox One owners while gamers running an Xbox 360 may get the fighting game "Injustice: Gods Among Us." 

Other Xbox 360 titles likely to be offered, according to a report from Ecumenical News, include "Call of Duty: Black Ops," "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," "Assassins Creed: Brotherhood," "Gears of War 2" and "Sniper Elite V2." The report from IBTimes also list other titles such as "Forza Motorsport" and "Saints Row IV." 

The month of July saw "Max: The Curse of Brotherhood" and "Halo: Spartan Assault" offered for the Xbox One while Xbox 360 players got "Super Street IV: Arcade Edition" and "Charlie Murder." 

August will also see the introduction of new Facebook-style features plus an option to turn off notifications. The official statement reads as follows: 

Chief among the features being added in the Aug. update that everyone will receive next month are new, Facebook-style options you'll have when viewing the redesigned activity feed. The feed has been condensed into a single column, and by highlighting any item, you'll be able to "like" it or comment on it."

The update will also allow Xbox Live users to share recorded game clips directly to their activity feed or via message to other Xbox Live users. Xbox Live profiles will have an updated activity feed similar to the news feed from Facebook.
