Free Play Days is back – a few games to play for free on Xbox

Calendar 4/26/2026

Xbox is launching Free Play Days again, a weekend event where you can try out selected games at no additional cost. This time the selection is quite diverse, so regardless of whether you like sports, strategy, or survival, there will be something to check out.

What games are available

As part of the promotion, users of Xbox Game Pass (Ultimate, Premium, and Essential) receive access to games. Among the titles, we find MLB The Show 26, which focuses on a realistic baseball experience, and Anno 117: Pax Romana, where you manage a city during the Roman Empire and make strategic decisions that impact development. Additionally, there’s The Survivalists, which is a more casual survival game with crafting and exploration elements. Interestingly, Age of Mythology: Retold is available to all Xbox players, even without a subscription, making this Free Play Days edition even more attractive.

Perfect opportunity to test games

Such events are a great way to try out games before buying. You can test the mechanics, see if a particular title suits you, and decide whether it’s worth spending money on. Additionally, if you decide to buy the game, you retain all the progress and achievements gained during the free weekend. This is especially useful with larger productions, where it’s hard to assess quality without a few hours of gameplay.

Free Play Days is another great opportunity from Xbox to try out some interesting titles without any risk. If you have Game Pass or simply want to check out something new, it's worth taking advantage of this weekend and seeing what the available games have to offer.
