It’s another weekend with Xbox Free Play Days, but this time there’s a twist to proceedings. Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer and EA Sports FC 24 will be playable by any and all Xbox gamers through this weekend for free – no Xbox Game Pass Core or Game Pass Ultimate is required).
Alongside that, Xbox Game Pass Core and up will also have access to Lego 2K Drive and Aliens: Fireteam Elite through the weekend as well.
All four games are playable from today through to 8AM GMT on Monday 18th December. Simply head to the Xbox Store on your console, search for the game you want to check out, and you should be able to download and get playing.

This Free Play Days stint will allow you to play multiplayer and Zombies.
Considering that it’s been widely panned – by ourselves as well – trying it out for free is probably for the best.
