The first "Watch Dogs" game, which was originally released in 2014, will be free-to-play for Xbox One gamers from June 16 to July 15. The title was popular for its open world and action-adventure genre and featured the story of its protagonist vigilante hacker named Aiden Pearce.
Aiden's main goal was to hack into Chicago's centralized operating system, aka "ctOS." Along the course of disrupting the city's computer network, he also faced enemies from notorious gangs while continuously evading the police.
Meanwhile, "SpeedRunners" will be free when it launches on Xbox One on June 1. Developed by DoubleDutch Games and published by tinyBuild Games, "SpeedRunners" is a competitive side-scrolling racing game. It will be free for the entire month of June and will be available later on for $14.99.

According to Xbox Live's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb's blog, the multiplayer DLC was added to the list "to celebrate the new release of 'Phantom Dust.'" The game was originally released in March 2005 but it was only ported to Xbox One and the Windows PC last May 16.
