10 Free Xbox Series X Downloads Includes AAA Games

Microsoft has made a bunch of Xbox games free for a very limited time.

By Tyler Fischer

Not one, not two, but 10 Xbox games are free to download and play right now, for a limited time. Each and every single one of these free Xbox games is available on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, but the same is not true of Xbox One. Those on the last-gen Xbox machine are set to miss out on two of the ten games, including one of the newest, biggest, and best of these Xbox games, Ghostrunner II.

The new free downloads are the latest in Xbox's Free Play Days series, which dishes out free trials for full Xbox games every week. Just like previous offers, these games are free to download and play as much as humanely possible, however, this is only true of this weekend. After the weekend ends, free access to the games in question will cease and to continue playing Xbox fans will have to buy the game outright like normal. That said, some of the games in question can reasonably be beaten in one weekend. In fact, most of the games -- which can be see below -- can be beaten within one weekend, essentially making them complete free downloads.
