Sports and Free Play Days go together this week

Alongside the start of the NFL football season here in the United States this weekend, the Xbox team is taking to the field this week with Free Play Days. This week, we have a free trial of Madden 26, TopSpin2K25, Beyond Galaxyland, and Naruto to Boruto: Shonobi Striker.

These titles are free to play from Today, Thursday, September 4th, until Sunday, September 7th. If you enjoy any of these titles, you’ll want to make sure you take advantage of the discounts during Free Play Days. Madden 26 is down to $62.99, TopSpin 2K25 is $24.99, Beyond Galaxyland is $9,89, and Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is $19.99.

Now that you’ve heard about these titles, stating them is very easy. You can navigate to these titles on Xbox.com or go to your account directly on your console, scroll down to your subscription, and find Free Play Days. It’s worth a reminder that an Xbox subscription of any level, Core, Standard, or Ultimate, is required to take advantage of Free Play Days.
