Xbox Offers Two Free AAA Games Without Game Pass

Xbox has launched another edition of Free Play Days. This event allows users to play some games for free, and this time, four popular games are available. Two of these games do not require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, which is great for all players.

Free Play Days happens every weekend on Xbox, giving players a chance to enjoy games without paying. Usually, you need a Game Pass subscription for these games, but this time, anyone can play. The featured games are Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and FBC Firebreak, both released last year.

You can play Black Ops 7 until Monday 9 March at 10 AM PT / 6 PM GMT. FBC Firebreak is available until the end of Sunday 8 March. Although Black Ops 7 received mixed reviews, it is still a well-known first-person shooter (FPS) game. FBC Firebreak is a cooperative FPS set in the world of another game called Control, and it also had average reviews.

If you have an Xbox Game Pass subscription, you can also play Black Desert Online and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for free until the weekend ends. There are discounts on Black Ops 7 and FBC Firebreak for players who want to keep them after Free Play Days.
