Free Play Days gives you some good reasons to game this weekend

Fall is definitely in the air in some areas of the United States, and while that means it’s a good time to game, thanks to our phones and handhelds, that doesn’t mean we have to stay inside, so you can take your gaming outside, even to the game, and get in some extra fun.

This week, we have several options, starting Thursday, September 11th, and lasting until Sunday, September 14th. This week, we have The Escapists: Walking Dead, Bad North, Rouge Waters, and Empyreal. Bad North and Rouge Waters are free to play for all Xbox members with a two-hour timed trial; no Xbox Game Pass membership is required to check these out.

You can install these games from Xbox.com, or you can head over to your console and click on your Subscriptions tab and down to Free Play Days. Don’t forget, if you’re enjoying these titles, grab them at a discount here during Free Play Days.

The Escapists: The Walking Dead is just $3.99, and at the time of making this post, it has a five-star rating. Bad North: Jotunn Edition is just $2.99 and also has a five-star rating. Rouge Waters is $14.99 and Empyreal is $9.89. Free Play Days is a good way to get in some fun this weekend and pick up some highly rated titles at some deep discounts.
