It’s that time again. Free Play Days has returned on Xbox.
Free Play Days, if you’re not familiar, is a weekly event which sees several games made free to enjoy for a limited period of time, albeit with an annoying twist.
While occasionally, there’s a title included in the Free Play Days line-up that is genuinely free to all, most require an Xbox Game Pass subscription so no, it’s not the most aptly titled event.
Unfortunately, the latest drop of free games all require a Game Pass subscription. The good news is that it doesn’t matter whether you belong to the essential, premium or ultimate tier.

This drop sees Xbox partner with 2K Games, with all titles available to try for free from now until end of play on Sunday 8 February.
If you’re into basketball, you may want to sample NBA 2K26 Standard Edition.
With various modes, including MyTeam and MyCareer, there’s plenty of court action to keep you engaged.
Like what you play? A limited-time offer is available on the Xbox Store with the game down to $23.09 from $69.99. Pricing will vary by region.
If you prefer golf, PGA Tour 2K25 is also available to sample, with a similarly generous offer running concurrently.
PGA Tour 2K25 can be bought for $27.99 instead of $69.99 if you want to continue playing when Xbox Free Play Days draws to a close.
Risk of Rain 2 offers something a little different.

This one places you on a “chaotic alien planet” where you’ll fight through hordes of monsters and bosses, enjoyable via both online co-op and solo play.
You can purchase this one for just $6.24 instead of the usual $24.99.
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI joins the line-up. This isn’t quite the latest entry in the hit strategy franchise, but it’s hardly ancient.
Build an empire and withstand the test of time; the full game will set you back $5.99 instead of $29.99 for those who wish to carry on their journey.
My personal favourite game on this list is LEGO 2K Drive, a LEGO racing game that is truly fantastic.
There’s a really engaging story mode set within a humorous open-world where players will engage in both races and various time and skill-based trials and challenges.
I had a blast playing it a couple of years ago. It’s on offer for $11.99 instead of $29.99.
Finally, TopSpin 2K25 is currently available to enjoy for free. Again, it’s back to sports with this one as it’s a tennis-based game.
As I said, you only have until the end of the weekend to enjoy these games for free - with a valid Xbox Game Pass subscription - so I’d dive in sooner rather than later.
