Microsoft has relaunched the Free Play Days event for Xbox Game Pass users. This time, players can try out two titles for free: CATAN and Deadside. The offer is available for holders of Ultimate, Premium, and Essential subscriptions from May 7 to May 10.
Deadside and Catan can be tested for free
The biggest attraction of the weekend seems to be "Deadside," a survival shooter focused on open-world exploration, PvP, and building your own base. The game recently received a major update 1.8, which revamped crafting, added new locations, and weapons. The creators are heavily promoting the title now and trying to attract new players with a free weekend and a 50 percent discount on the full version of the game and DLCs. The second title is "Catan," which is a console adaptation of the popular board game. Players compete for resources, build settlements, and develop their own kingdoms, both against AI and other players online or locally. It is definitely a calmer option compared to Deadside, but still one of the most recognizable board games of recent years.
Microsoft continues to strongly promote Game Pass and weekend game trials
Free Play Days has long been one of the additional bonuses for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Microsoft regularly offers selected games for free for a few days to increase interest in the titles and encourage players to purchase the full version later. All achievements and progress are saved normally on the user's account, so after acquiring the game, players can continue enjoying it without losing their data. Microsoft clearly shows that despite price changes and new strategies around Xbox, it still wants to strongly develop the Game Pass ecosystem. Free weekends, regular releases, and promotions remain one of the most important advantages of the service over the competition. Especially since the company increasingly uses such campaigns to promote lesser-known productions and new updates of major multiplayer games.
Xbox is once again offering free games as part of Free Play Days. This time, players can try out the survival game Deadside and the board game Catan at no additional cost until May 10.
