Xbox drops new batch of free games for you to play this weekend

Xbox drops new batch of free games for you to play this weekend

Thieves, spies, and wizards - oh my!

What are you playing this weekend? That feels like a particularly difficult one to answer right now, because there is simply so much to play.

At present I'm doing my best not to cave and buy Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, because I know I absolutely don't have time to properly enjoy it before Dragon's Dogma 2 comes out. So I'm tempted to go back and play Elden Ring ahead of the DLC, but for some reason I also just finished replaying The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, so I kind of want to dip into Majora's Mask. Because I don't have enough new games to play.

Take a look at our 10/10 review of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth below!

If you're in the same boat as me, allow me take life even harder. If you've an Xbox, there are currently three free games you can check out this weekend - but only this weekend.

As part of Xbox Free Play Days, anyone with a subscription to the lowest tier of Xbox Game Pass - Xbox Game Pass Core - can currently download and play any of the following games at no extra cost:


  • Age Of Wonders 4 - A popular turn-based fantasy RPG with some slick fantasy vibes. Well worth a look.
  • Deceive Inc. - I won't lie, this one must have flown under my radar, but it looks great. A spy-themed battle royale/heist sim that could be a ton of fun with friends.
  • Gangs Of Sherwood - As someone who was born and raised in Nottingham, I can confirm every day is exactly like this PvE action game.

The above titles will remain playable for free until March 3, so if you fancy checking any of them out, make sure you don't waste any time. Really you shouldn't even still be reading this, so get outta here.
