I had to have a little fun with the title this week since Valentine’s Day is a part of the Free Play Days weekend. With my cheesy fun aside, Xbox players can try a mix of sports, RPG action, and an adventure title at no cost this weekend as part of Free Play Days. This weekend, things run from February 12th-15th, whether you’re playing free games that require a Game Pass membership or titles that don’t.
Let’s start out with what’s free for everyone this weekend: you can skate like a superstar in EA Sports NH: 25, powered by the ICE-Q 2.0 system with real NHL Edge data. Player tendencies, movements, and decision-making are much more accurate in real life. You’re getting a big discount on this one if you grab it during Free Play days; it’s just $27.99.
Hockey not your thing? How about giving Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream a try? A new chaotic twist in the Alfheim Online, where time and space collide, and SAO characters join the fight. Take to the fractured world solo or with friends as you bottle through a Glaxia system gone rogue. If you’re enjoying this one, it’s on sale during Free Play Days, bringing the price down to $19.79.
Now lets jump into the options that require a Game Pass membership to play. All Game Pass membership levels can access these titles. Let’s start with Lynked: Banner of Spark, a bright blend of roguelite combat and sim life progression options. Battle swarms of robotic enemies, gather resources, upgrade your homebase, and build a world on the brink of disaster. This title is $14.99.
Age of Wonders 4 allows you to step into your own fantasy realm in this acclaimed 4X strategy realm and turn-based tactical hybrid. Explore magical lands, love your faction, and command armies in deep, rewarding battles. This one is on sale for 50 percent off during Free Play Days, rolling the price down to just. $24.99.
So, how do you get to be a part of Free Play Days? You can download any of these titles on Xbox.com, or, if you’re on your console, navigate to your membership, then to Game Pass, where you’ll find Free Play Days listed.
