Xbox Game Pass members can play Madden NFL 24 and two other games for free during the second weekend in September 2023. This is a special offer from Microsoft’s subscription service, and it’s called Free Play Days.
It’s available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members and, for the last time this week, to Xbox Live Gold members. Free Play Days usually begin on a Thursday and last for four days. Last week, you could play Dead by Daylight, LEGO 2K Drive, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege for free.
Microsoft is giving away three games for free to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Live Gold members. You can play these games for free from today until September 10th, at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
But here’s the important part: This is the last time Xbox Live Gold subscribers can get these free games because Xbox Live Gold is going away. It will be replaced by Xbox Game Pass Core next Thursday, just in time for the next Free Play Days event.
Instead of getting a monthly selection of free games, Xbox Game Pass Core will give you access to a smaller number of Game Pass games. However, you’ll still be able to play games online and enjoy Free Play Days like before.
Free Xbox Games This Weekend: What You Can Play
- Madden NFL 24
- Control
- Crime Boss: Rockay City
This week, there are three games you can play for free. The main one is called Control, and it’s a really popular game from 2019. People loved it a lot.
The other two games are new ones from 2023. One is Madden NFL 24, which came out just three weeks ago. The other is Crime Boss: Rockay City, which first came out on computers in March and then on game consoles three months later.
Even though Crime Boss: Rockay City is not as famous as the other two, it has lots of famous actors and celebrities in it. The company that made the game spent a lot of money to get famous people to be in it.
Free Play Days are like a special time for Microsoft’s subscribers. They can play some cool games, both old and new, for free. But this time, not many people might be interested.
That’s because Xbox Game Pass just got one of the biggest games of the year, Starfield. So, most members will probably be busy playing that game instead.
Just like always, the latest Free Play Days games are on sale for a limited time. You can get Control for only $7.49 and Crime Boss: Rockay City for $27.99. If you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Live Gold, you can also buy the cross-gen NFL+ Edition of Madden NFL 24 for $89.99, which is 20% off its usual price right now.
