Microsoft’s Free Play Days event returns this weekend, allowing Xbox users to play a handful of games for the low, low price of $0. Or at least nothing extra beyond a Game Pass membership.
For this weekend, there are two games up for grabs. That’s a little lighter than what we’ve seen before, but free is free.
Those who purchase the games after the free weekend can retain their progress and Gamerscore, which is a nice thing to know for people who want to keep playing.
Read on to see all the games that are free this weekend, running April 16-19.
If you’re looking for even more free games, you can check out GameSpot’s rundown of some of the best free games out there.
