Xbox Game Pass treats its subscribers to 6 new games to try for free – and some are truly excellent
Xbox Game Pass invites all subscribers to enjoy six games for free this weekend as part of its Free Play Days — including Grounded 2, Riders Republic, and more fan favorites.
A Weekend of Free Access for All Subscribers
Despite recent tier and pricing changes that caused some users to cancel their subscriptions, Xbox Game Pass continues its tradition of Free Play Days. This weekend, every subscriber — from Essential to Ultimate — can try six games at no extra cost, offering a mix of genres and experiences that truly showcase the platform’s range.

Grounded 2 Takes the Spotlight
At the top of the list is Grounded 2, the cooperative survival sequel from Obsidian Entertainment. Currently available in early access, this follow-up expands the miniature backyard world and adds new crafting systems and co-op features. Although the final release date remains unconfirmed, the free trial offers an early look at what’s coming.
Fans of survival and exploration titles will appreciate Grounded 2’s blend of discovery, teamwork, and lighthearted chaos.
Riders Republic and Other Highlights
Another standout is Riders Republic, Ubisoft’s high-energy extreme sports playground that lets players bike, snowboard, and wingsuit across massive landscapes in a shared online world.
Alongside it comes Kingdom Two Crowns, a minimalist strategy indie by Fury Studios, known for its striking pixel art and cooperative gameplay. Those looking for something more meditative can dive into Under the Waves by Parallel Studio, a narrative-driven underwater adventure praised for its atmosphere and storytelling.
For a Change of Pace: Wrestling and Fishing Simulations
If action-packed sports aren’t your thing, Xbox Game Pass has more grounded options. AEW Fight Forever brings the energy of professional wrestling to consoles, capturing the intensity of the All Elite Wrestling brand.
Meanwhile, Euro Fishing by Dovetail Games delivers a more relaxing experience — a virtual escape for players who prefer calm waters over chaos. Both titles are perfect for shorter gaming sessions or for discovering something new without commitment.
Don’t Miss Out The Next Games
All six games were available to try until Monday, October 13, 2025, at 9 a.m. Whether you’re a strategist, adventurer, or sports fan, this lineup guaranted something to enjoy. And with the new week, the Game Pass catalog continues to grow, with major releases like The Casting of Frank Stone, Ball X Pit, Eternal Strands, and Keeper (from the Psychonauts 2 team) landing later this month.
