Xbox console owners who have either an Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription can play two full games for free this weekend as part of, natch, Free Play Days. The games will be available to play until 11:59 pm Pacific Time on February 19.
We've already mentioned this game earlier this week, but now Microsoft has confirmed that Ubisoft's open world first person shooter Far Cry 6 can be played for free, in single and co-op mode, this weekend. It's also available to play for free on the PC and PlayStation 4 and 5 platforms.
Microsoft is offering a deep discount on the Xbox version of Far Cry 6 Game of the Year Edition. From now until Sunday, it's priced at $39.99. That's a 67 percent price cut on that game.
The other game that's part of Xbox Free Play Days this weekend is 2K Sports' pro basketball game NBA 2K23. Here's a quick description:
