Update (): Xbox Wire has released the official Free Play Days lineup for this week, adding Ball x Pit, Crime Boss: Rockay City and IXION in our overview. They didn’t mention the NBA 2K27 free trial, but we thought we’d leave it in the list.
Original story: It’s Thursday, which means it’s time to check out your latest batch of Xbox Free Play Days titles!
So far we know five* games in programming, thanks to some research from Redditor Oliomono. They’re usually on the money with the FPD stuff, but Xbox usually adds one or two more games to the final list.
Heist FPS Payday 3 comes with a wide range of experiences, including social deception fun in Deceive Inc. and Ubisoft. Year 117: Pax Romana. We also spotted a sixth* game that could potentially feature this weekend. NBA 2K27 appears to have a free trial on the Xbox Store, so it wouldn’t surprise us if it’s included.
Here’s what we know so far about Xbox’s latest Free Play Days lineup:
You need some sort of Xbox Game Pass subscription to play most of these games, while Anno 117, Crime Boss, and NBA 2K27 are free for everyone.
These games should be free until November 8, with a slight chance of lasting longer. It’s also normal to see discounts attached to FPD games, making adding them to your permanent collection a little easier on the wallet.
Below we’ll leave you with some instructions on how to download them and let us know what you’re going to play!
