Xbox Free Play Days runs from Thursday, November 27 through Sunday, November 30 and opens up five games across the store. Hammerwatch 2 and The First Berserker: Khazan are available to play for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and Essential members during the weekend, while Hypnospace Outlaw, Let’s Build a Zoo and Biped 2 are free for all Xbox accounts to try.
The First Berserker: Khazan, from Nexon Korea Corporation, is on the Game Pass-only list and is presented as an action RPG focused on hardcore combat and boss fights. The store shows a sale price of $41.99 down from $59.99, and the title is discounted 30% from 11/20 through 12/3. The listing notes the game is optimized for Xbox Series X – S. Hammerwatch 2 is also on the Game Pass list this weekend. The dungeon-crawling action RPG from Maximum Entertainment appears with a temporary store price of $4.99 and is marked as optimized for Xbox Series X – S. It’s the sort of pixel-ARPG that benefits from short, focused play sessions on the couch or during a break.
Titles open to every Xbox account during Free Play Days include Hypnospace Outlaw, Let’s Build a Zoo and Biped 2. Hypnospace Outlaw is the ’90s internet simulator that turns web policing into a bizarre puzzle, and it’s being offered with a deep discount of roughly 70% off the usual price. Let’s Build a Zoo is a management sim that lets you breed and splice animals and is available with discounts up to 65% off. Biped 2 returns with co-op puzzle-platforming built around two charming robots and is free to try for the weekend.
On PC and console you can find and install these Free Play Days titles from the game detail pages on Xbox.com. That link will take you to the Microsoft Store where you must be signed in to see the option to install with your Xbox Game Pass membership. On console, open the Xbox Store, go to the Subscriptions tab and look for the Free Play Days collection to download directly. Achievements and Gamerscore earned during Free Play Days carry over if you decide to buy the game. Prices and discounts shown in the store can vary by title and region so check the product page for the final numbers in your area.
