Xbox drops two free games you can download and play this weekend

Xbox fans can play two incredible, but different, games right now and one of them doesn’t even require Xbox Game Pass.

Xbox fans can play two incredible, but different, games right now and one of them doesn’t even require Xbox Game Pass.

Following the bombshell that Xbox might be gearing up to port more of its exclusive games to PlayStation platforms, including Halo, it’s turning into a pretty strange week for fans.

Check out what games you should play after watching the Fallout TV series in the video below!

There is some good news though, and it’s not just some of the bangers that have been added to Xbox Game Pass recently like Another Crab’s Treasure and Have A Nice Death, I seriously can’t recommend either of those games enough…

No, what we’re talking about today is the recent announcement of another free-to-play weekend, where Xbox throws gamers a game or two to play for free for a limited time

This weekend two games will be up for grabs, with the first being musical battle-royale called Headbangers: Rhythm Royale.

Now this is a bit of a weird one, but hear me out, it’s a game where up to 30 pigeons compete to be the ultimate headbanger with players slowly dropping off as time goes on until you get a winner.

It’s wacky, it's wild, and it’s weird, but most importantly it’s fun and will be free from 2 May to 5 May.

However if you want something a little more serious, you’ll be able to play Star Wars Jedi: Survivor for a total of five hours.

Five hours might not sound like a lot but you can get through a pretty big chunk of the game, and the best part is you don’t even need Xbox Game Pass for it, players without a subscription membership can play it too.

Both games will be available from now, to the end of the week, and are both well-worth checking out if you haven’t already.
