Free Play Days for Xbox Game Pass subscribers are back, and it looks like an especially interesting weekend for strategy fans, as Anno 117: Pax Romana and Age of Mythology: Retold are leading the pack.
Earlier this week, the Xbox blog confirmed the new batch of games for this weekend, starting on Thursday, April 23, and ending on Sunday, April 26.
Only Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and Essential members have access to MLB The Show 26, Anno 117: Pax Romana, and The Survivalists during this current weekend. Meanwhile, Age of Mythology: Retold will be welcoming every Xbox player who wants a healthy dose of timeless RTS fun.
The games can be downloaded via their individual pages on Xbox.com. “Clicking through will send you to the Microsoft Store, where you must be signed in to see the option to install with your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and Essential membership.” During the Free Play Days, they also have a nice extra discount in case you enjoy them and want to keep going after the weekend.
On console, “click on the Subscriptions tab in the Xbox Store and navigate down to the Free Play Days collection on your Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.”
It’s worth noting Anno 117: Pax Romana is also having a free trial weekend on Ubisoft Connect (PC), and that one ends on April 27. A discount is being offered via the Ubisoft Store too.
