Xbox Games with Gold June 2015: Free games prediction includes 'Ryse: Son of Rome,' 'Forza 5'

 Xbox Wire

Microsoft's continuous freebies to its Xbox One and 360 players have fueled speculations about upcoming titles under its Xbox Games with Gold program.

For June, most observers note that Microsoft will have a tough time deciding which games to pick as flavors of the month, after the successful list this May which includes "Rayman Legends", "PoolNation FX", and "CastleStorm". In addition, most Xbox fans are expecting some big-name titles to be included for nexth month as a way for Microsoft's preview of its upcoming E3 appearance. The annual Electronics Entertainment Expo will be held on June 16-18 in California.

Two titles that top most predictions are "Ryse: Son of Rome" and "Forza 5", and if Microsoft decides to check out fan boards and forums, these two games might make it to the June list. These two games will also cater to a wide range of gamers.

"Ryse: Son of Rome" is a third-person action and adventure title which is one of the more popular genre games in 2013. In this game, players take on the role of Marius Titus, a Roman general. Both the general and his legion can be controlled by Xbox One controllers and Kinect voice commands.

Meanwhile, "Forza 5" is at the other end of the title spectrum, being a racing sim title published by Microsoft Studios as one of exclusive titles for the Xbox One, and also served as one of the console's launch titles.

These two games are just two of the more popular titles in every Xbox player's wish list for June. Although it is already nearing the end of the month, Microsoft still has to make an official announcement on the final line-up for June, so fans are hoping these two launch titles would be included.
