As part of Microsoft’s Free Play Days promotion, several games will be free to try out this weekend.
Beginning Jan. 7 through Jan. 9, Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will have access to the following titles:
- Battlefield 2042
- The Sinking City
- Star Renegades
Head over to the Free Play Days page here, add them to your account, and voila! Your weekend now contains roughly 60 percent more explosions, gunfire, and ludicrous glitches. DICE patched out hovercraft climbing, unfortunately.
Keep in mind that these games are not free to keep, as once Jan. 10 rolls around, you’ll have to buy them to keep playing. Think of this promotion as a trial period of sorts, which is probably for the best in Battlefield 2042’s case, as most people aren’t having fun with it.
Our review for Battlefield 2042 thought the core premise was fine enough, but it was severely lacking in polish. Since last fall, DICE has issued many patches to make the game better. However, as is often the case with Battlefield titles, this installment might not be totally up to snuff for several months.
Despite Battlefield 2042 apparent rough shape, trying it out for free can’t hurt.
