Xbox Play Days Adds 5 Free Games for the Weekend

Xbox has launched a new promotion under the Xbox Play Days banner, offering five games that can be played entirely for free this weekend. The promotion is available to anyone with an Xbox account.

How to Access Free Games

Unlike standard library rotations that may require a specific subscription tier, these five titles are accessible to any user with an Xbox account. The promotion went live on Friday, August 7, 2026.

Other Weekend Offers

In addition to the Xbox Play Days initiative, other publishers are running limited-time events:

GTA Online: Rockstar Games is offering a $1 million login bonus for a limited time.
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls: PlayStation has released a set of free avatars to celebrate the game's launch, though specific steps are required to claim them through the platform.
Kingdom Hearts 4: The official D23 app has surfaced profiles for the game’s co-director, suggesting an appearance at the upcoming series Deep Dive event.
