Xbox drops 3 free games you can download and play this weekend

Microsoft just announced their latest Free Play Days promotion, and the three games that are currently up for grabs could not be more different from one another.

As revealed on the Xbox Wire blog, the three games on offer are Bassmaster Fishing, Make Way, and The Elder Scrolls Online.

Bassmaster Fishing and Make Way are available for anyone with either an active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or an Xbox Game Pass Core subscription, free to play from now until the 11th of August at 11:59 pm PDT.

The Elder Scrolls Online is free for everyone though (whether you have an Xbox Game Pass subscription or not) until the 19th of August, so you can safely save that one for last if you can’t decide which title to try first.

As they specified, you can snag the downloads regardless of which Xbox system you own. Assumedly this doesn’t include the now defunct Xbox 360 Marketplace, which officially closed down on the 29th of July last month.

Bassmaster Fishing is, as the name implies, a fishing game. It’s pretty well reviewed as far as fishing games go, but I’m sure if that’s a genre you enjoy then I probably shouldn’t waste my digital breath selling you on it.

The Elder Scrolls Online is Bethesda’s take on a MMO set in the world of Tamriel. That’s a fancy way of saying “it’s Skyrim, but you can play it online”.

It does have an optional paid subscription on top of the base game, but it is not necessary for those jumping into the game during the Free Play Days promotion. You’ll easily get enough content out of the game before the 19th.

Make Way is the real star of the show though. For those unfamiliar, it’s a top-down racer with both online and offline multiplayer.

The hook here is that Make Way allows players to design and build the maps they race on, and the developers clearly want to inspire players to build the most evil courses imaginable. It’s a fun little title, especially if you have mates to play it with.

All the titles are available right now, so make sure to check out the available titles before the Free Play Days promotion ends.
