Xbox players can grab Elder Scrolls Online for free with no strings attached plus two more games

There are Free Play Days for everyone this week - no subscription required

XBOX offers added bonuses every week for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, but the latest freebie is available for all Xbox console owners.

Every weekend Xbox Game Pass Core and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can enjoy free game trials with Free Play Days.

Free Play Days includes unlimited game trials where you can play as much of the game as you want within the time frame.

Xbox also gives deep discounts on the games available via Free Play Days, so you can purchase them cheaply after the trial period ends.

However, this weekend is special, because while two games are only for subscribers, there is one that anyone can grab.

The highlight of this week’s Free Play Days is The Elder Scrolls Online, which is available to all Xbox players regardless of whether they are subscribed or not.

Elder Scrolls Online usually requires a Game Pass sub in order to play due to the online requirement, so this is the perfect chance to try it out.

It is also not just available for the weekend, but for 10 days, and will be free from Thursday, August 8, 2024, until Monday, August 19, 2024.

If you are interested in purchasing The Elder Scrolls Online after the trial, you can pick it up for the discounted price of $5.99/£4.49.

However, if you are an Xbox Game Pass Core or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber there are two more games that you can pick up this weekend.

The first game available for Free Play Days with a subscription is Bassmaster Fishing, which, as the name suggests, is a fishing simulator.

It usually costs $39.99/£29.99 but is available for just $7.99/£5.99 during this period.

People can also pick up Make Way, an indie multiplayer racing game known for its chaotic gameplay.

This one is also on sale from $14.99/£12.99 to $8.99/£7.79 in the Free Play Days sale.

Both games are available as part of an unlimited trial from Thursday, August 8, 2024, until Sunday, August 11, 2024.

The games will only remain on sale while Free Play Days are active, so make sure you purchase any games before the end of the weekend if you enjoy the trial.
