A fresh batch of Xbox Free Play Days is available right now with six games to check out this week. NBA 2K27 headlines the selection but it is joined by Crusader Kings III, Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop, Soccer Story, Ravenswatch and The Alters.
NBA 2K27 is also making its Xbox Play Anywhere debut for the series which is some phenomenal news for all of you that play across devices. That means you can play across Xbox consoles, PC and supported handheld devices. Its Free Play Days access begins today at 12pm PDT / 8pm BST.
Here are all six games in this week’s Xbox Free Play Days lineup:
- NBA 2K27 (Xbox Game Pass subscription required)
- Crusader Kings III (Xbox Game Pass subscription required)
- Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop (Xbox Game Pass subscription required)
- Soccer Story (Xbox Game Pass subscription required)

The games will be available through Xbox Free Play Days until late on the 18th of October. If you decide to keep playing afterwards, there are discounts on several titles: Soccer Story is 85% off, Ravenswatch is 65% off and The Alters is 55% off.
