Microsoft has confirmed the different events and gatherings it will organize this week at Gamescom 2013, culminating with a special hourly raffle at its main booth, where an Xbox One console will be given away for free every hour.

Gamescom 2013 is nearly here and Microsoft officially revealed on the blog of its Community Manager, Larry Hryb, the different activities it will host at the large expo.

The company will start with a special Xbox Media Showcase where it will make new announcements and demonstrations but, sadly, it won't be livestreamed online.

After that, during Gamescom between August 21 and 25, the Xbox Booth in Hall 6 will allow visitors to interact with the Xbox One and many games, like FIFA 14, Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse: Son of Rome, Killer Instinct, Kinect Sports Rivals, Project Spark, and Dead Rising 3.

Last but not least, a special raffle is going to be organized on the Xbox Stage, as a free Xbox One console will be offered every hour to those present at the booth.
