Xbox Free Play Days Features ARC Raiders, STALKER 2 Trials, and Weekend Discounts

Xbox has launched its latest Free Play Days promotion running through Sunday, October 11, giving console owners access to a selection of full weekend trials and timed gameplay sessions alongside temporary purchase discounts. While certain games require an active Xbox Game Pass tier, others are available to everyone on the platform.

Under the weekend event, ARC Raiders is open to all Xbox members without requiring an active Game Pass subscription, coinciding with its Frozen Trail update. Game Pass subscribers can also download and play full weekend editions of the arcade racer Screamer and the moral dilemma RPG Family Man.

Beyond the standard free weekend roster, several high-profile titles are available to all Xbox players through timed trials. These include High On Life 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, Little Nightmares III, and tactical pirate roguelite Rogue Waters. Any achievements and Gamerscore unlocked during the trial sessions persist if players purchase the discounted games.
