Xbox First-Party Game ‘Tell Me Why’ Is Now Free To Claim For Everyone

Tell Me Why, the narrative-driven adventure game developed by Don’t Nod, is now available to claim for free on the Xbox Store during June 2026. Players should download the “Tell Me Why: Chapters 1-3” edition to access the complete story, which unfolds across separate chapters as players progress through the experience.

This annual offering marks another iteration of a tradition that began in 2021, wherein Xbox provides the game at no cost during Pride Month. Beyond this one-time claiming opportunity, Tell Me Why remains available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers through the service’s ongoing library. The recurring promotional gesture reflects Xbox’s commitment to supporting diverse narratives and LGBTQ+ representation within the gaming industry.

For players who have not yet experienced Don’t Nod’s story-driven title, the free offer presents an excellent opportunity to access the game without financial barrier. Players can visit the Xbox Store to claim the game, which becomes permanently added to their digital library. Once claimed, the title can be accessed and played at any point thereafter.
