Xbox One, 360 Deals: Games With Gold Include ‘Destiny,’ ‘Diablo III,’ More
The Xbox One and 360 deals for the week of June ending on the 13th have been revealed. Some are Games with Gold only, meaning you’ll need to be a subscriber with full access to Microsoft’s online service. For those of you who aren’t about to pay for multiplayer or the occasionally deeper discount, Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb has you covered as well.
These will eventually all be Xbox One deals, with the backwards compatibility list growing regularly so you can play all of your Xbox 360 favorites on the current console. Sony can’t say that, as the PlayStation 4’s hardware is incompatible natively with PS3 or older games, though they are working on a fix that will cost you. PS Now lets you stream select PS3 titles, and there always seem to be remasters or ports on the way, including the growing PS2 on PS4 list.
