Calendar 7/17/2026

Microsoft has launched another edition of Free Play Days, allowing players to try selected titles on Xbox consoles at no extra cost. This week's offer includes games exclusive to Xbox Game Pass members as well as titles open to all users of the platform. The biggest draw is the ability to play GTA Online for free without requiring an active subscription. Other titles include Planet Zoo, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and Crisol: Theater of Idols. Players can download the selected games directly from the Microsoft Store or via their Xbox console. After the event ends, the games will be available to buy at promotional prices and players will be able to keep any progress they've made.

GTA Online and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 available to all Xbox players

The biggest new feature of this edition of Free Play Days is the chance to try GTA Online for free on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles. Rockstar Games' title will remain available to all Xbox users from 14 to 21 July and does not require an active Xbox Game Pass subscription. Players can freely explore Los Santos and take part in the latest activities available in the game's online mode. Microsoft has also made Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 available without the need for a subscription. The title lets you create your own fighter and fight alongside heroes from the Dragon Ball universe. The game offers an expansive online mode and the option to play together with players from around the world. After the free period ends, both games can be bought at discounted prices, with saved progress and unlocked achievements preserved. It's a good opportunity for anyone who has long wanted to try these titles before buying. Microsoft once again leans on familiar franchises to attract new players.

Game Pass provides access to three more titles

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and Essential subscribers have gained access to three additional games as part of Free Play Days. The first is Crisol: Theater of Idols, a survival-horror set in a dark version of Spain where the protagonist's own blood serves as ammunition. The second is Planet Zoo: Console Edition, which lets you build and manage a modern zoo full of animals with realistic behaviour. The third title is Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports, an arcade-style sports game starring the characters from the classic cartoons. The game features competitions in basketball, football (soccer), golf and tennis, and supports local play for up to four players. All three games can be tried from 16 to 19 July. After the event, participants will keep any achievements and saved progress if they choose to buy the full versions. Microsoft notes that promotion availability and discount levels may vary by region. Free Play Days remains a regular feature of Xbox Game Pass, allowing players to try new titles at no extra cost.

The latest edition of Free Play Days offers five free games for Xbox users, including GTA Online and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, available without needing a Game Pass. Subscribers can also check out Crisol: Theater of Idols, Planet Zoo and Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports. It's a good opportunity to try out a few different titles and decide whether it's worth buying the full versions.
