Xbox has kicked off a new Free Play Days event, giving players temporary access to a wide selection of games across Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. The promotion includes recent sports titles, live-service games, and older fan favorites, with select entries available even without a Game Pass subscription.
The limited-time event is part of Microsoft’s ongoing push to drive engagement across the Xbox ecosystem, offering players a chance to try full versions of premium games before deciding whether to buy them.
Xbox Free Play Days Brings Multiple Games At No Cost
The latest Xbox Free Play Days lineup is available to Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Core, and Game Pass Standard subscribers. Players can download and play the featured titles directly from the Microsoft Store during the event window.
In addition to the subscription-based offers, Xbox is once again including a small number of games under a “Free Play Days For All” banner, meaning no active Game Pass membership is required.
Games Available Without Game Pass
Two major titles headline the portion of the event that is open to all Xbox users. These games can be played for free for a limited time, regardless of subscription status.
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 – Includes select Multiplayer and Zombies content, along with access to the remastered Nuketown map.
- Fallout 76 – Fully playable for a limited time, including access to recent seasonal content and updates.
Game Pass Free Play Days Lineup
Players with an active Game Pass subscription can access several additional titles as part of the event. Progress and achievements earned during the trial period will carry over if the game is later purchased.
- NBA 2K26
- WWE 2K25
- PGA Tour 2K25
- Ark: Survival Ascended
- The Forgotten City
How To Access Xbox Free Play Days Games
All Free Play Days titles can be found directly in the Microsoft Store while signed in to an eligible Xbox account. The collection appears under the Subscriptions section during the active event period.
Players who choose to purchase any of the featured games after the trial ends can keep their save data, achievements, and progression intact.
Availability And Discounts
The Free Play Days event runs for a limited time, with most titles remaining available through the weekend. Xbox is also offering temporary discounts on select games included in the promotion, allowing players to purchase them at a reduced price once the free access period ends.
What’s Next
Xbox continues to rotate Free Play Days offerings throughout the year, often aligning promotions with major updates, seasonal events, or new content launches. Additional free-to-play weekends and Game Pass trials are expected in the coming weeks as Microsoft expands its subscription-driven strategy.
