2K Games Take Over Free Play Days This Weekend
In this round, 2K Games are in the spotlight, with NBA 2K26 as the headliner. While we are not yet at the NBA playoffs, you can get a head start by playing through the latest entry in the 2K franchise right now. If basketball isn’t your interest, you can try golf or tennis with PGA Tour 2K25 and TopSpin 2K25, respectively.
If sports games are not appealing to you, then Risk of Rain 2 or Civ 6 might be more to your liking. Additionally, the fantastic LEGO 2K Drive is a must-play for anyone who enjoys LEGOs or driving games.
Civ 6 Is Definitely Worth Checking Out
Civ 6 is widely regarded as the best in the series, making it another highly recommended title. It is an award-winning strategy game that appeals to history enthusiasts or anyone seeking an engaging war game experience. Just be aware that you might become addicted to Civ 6 and want to continue playing long after Free Play Days have ended.
Fortunately, there’s good news. All these games are currently on sale on Xbox, whether you have Game Pass or not. If you fall in love with any of these titles, you can purchase them at a discount after February 8. For reference, Civ 6 is priced at just $5.99, down from its usual $29.99 price tag. Meanwhile, PGA Tour 2K25 is the most expensive at $27.99 but is regularly priced at $69.99, making it a great deal.
This selection is quite impressive overall, and it’s great to see additional games included in this round of Xbox‘s Free Play Days. If you have a Game Pass subscription, you can start playing any of these games now.
