Free Play Days: Try These Xbox Games For Free (October 22-25)
Xbox is offering six games for free as part of its weekly Free Play Days promotion running October 22-25. The lineup is headlined by Dying Light 2, a parkour-focused zombie action game that blends fast-paced movement mechanics with melee combat against undead hordes. The promotion also includes the first two Monster Hunter Stories titles from Capcom, alongside Monster Hunter Stories 3, which offers a trial version during the same promotional period.
The inclusion of the Monster Hunter Stories spinoff series appears to be a strategic effort to introduce new players to the turn-based tactical combat games, building momentum ahead of the latest installment’s release. Free Play Days is Xbox’s recurring weekend promotion, offering a rotating selection of games that players can download and sample without requiring a Game Pass subscription. The program provides an opportunity for players to discover and try games across multiple genres and publishers on the Xbox platform, helping drive engagement with both new and established titles.
