| Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 also has a 90% discount on Xbox and Steam. |
Xbox is offering a massive "Free Play Days" promotion this weekend, allowing all users to dive into two AAA titles without a subscription, alongside bonus games for Game Pass members.
In a move that offers a welcome distraction for gamers, Microsoft has rolled out its latest Free Play Days event. From now until Sunday, September 27, Xbox players can jump into two major releases completely free of charge. The best part? You don’t need an Xbox Game Pass subscription to take advantage of the headliners.
Tee Off and Suit Up
The spotlight is on PGA Tour 2K25 and Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, both of which are free to play for all Xbox members this weekend.
For golf fans, PGA Tour 2K25 offers the chance to live out a professional career in the MyPLAYER mode. You can test your skills on legendary courses with the ultimate goal of slipping on the coveted green jacket at the Masters. It’s a solid opportunity for golf enthusiasts to see if the latest iteration is worth a purchase.
Meanwhile, The Division 2 is inviting players back to a post-pandemic Washington, D.C. Originally launched in 2019, the game has received significant updates and optimization for the Xbox Series X|S. This free weekend comes at a strategic time, just ahead of a major crossplay update and new downloadable content slated for November. If you’ve been curious about the tactical shooter but haven't pulled the trigger, this is the perfect test drive.
According to the official Xbox Wire announcement, players can find these titles by scrolling through the Microsoft Store on their consoles or checking the Free Play Days collection under the Subscriptions tab.
Bonus Titles for Game Pass Members
If you are an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, or Essential member, the weekend gets even better. Subscribers can also access two additional titles at no extra cost:
- The Escapists 2: A quirky, cooperative prison-escape game where you team up with friends to craft tools out of soap and socks to break out of the world's toughest prisons.
- Young Suns: A narrative-driven multiplayer life sim set on Jupiter. It tasks players with exploring moonlets, customizing their spaceship, and rebuilding society after a revolution.
Deep Discounts and a Needed Distraction
For those who decide they want to keep the fun going past Sunday, Microsoft is offering steep discounts. The Division 2 is currently seeing a massive 90% price drop on both Xbox and Steam, making it a steal for anyone looking for a long-term looter-shooter.
This aggressive promotion comes during a somewhat rocky period for Microsoft's gaming division. The company has recently faced negative headlines regarding further layoffs and title cancellations. However, there is still buzz in the air following the recent teaser of an upcoming expansion for the Halo franchise. By leaning on discounted and free access to popular titles, Xbox appears to be softening the blow of recent industry turbulence and keeping players engaged with their ecosystem.
The Free Play Days event runs until Sunday, September 27. Don't forget that any Gamerscore and achievements you earn during the trial period will carry over if you decide to buy the full game.
