Xbox Wire posted on July 9 that MLB The Show 26, The Alters, and Stuffed are part of this weekend’s Free Play Days lineup for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members. The trial window runs from Thursday, July 9 through Sunday, July 12.
Players can find each game on its store page at Xbox.com, where signing in with an eligible membership unlocks the install option. On console, the same route sits under the Subscriptions tab in the Xbox Store, then the Free Play Days collection on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
What’s in the lineup
MLB The Show 26 is optimized for Xbox Series X|S and leans on Road To The Show, Franchise, customization, and on-field play. The Alters is included on console and PC, with Xbox Play Anywhere support, and puts players on a hostile planet where alternate versions of the same person become part of the survival plan. Stuffed is an optimized Xbox Series X|S shooter about defending a child’s bedroom from nightmare waves, either solo or in four-player online co-op.
Microsoft says players can buy the games and other editions at a limited-time discount and keep any Gamerscore and achievements earned during the trial. Discount levels and availability can vary by title and region, so the exact offer may differ depending on where you are.
