If you have some downtime over the 4th of July weekend and are looking for a game to play, Microsoft is bringing back its Free Play Days promotion, offering up some top titles to play for the low, low price of $0.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s multiplayer and Zombies modes are free now through July 6, while Diablo IV is free through July 7. Demonschool and The Stone Madness have free two-hour trials now through July 5. None of these games require an Xbox Game Pass subscription during the free period.
Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure is part of the Free Play Days promotion through July 5, but you’ll need Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, or Essential.
This Free Play Days event comes at a tumultuous time for Xbox, as the company is expected to begin mass layoffs on July 6. Microsoft may close at least five studios as well, though it’s possible other arrangements could be made that does not result in studio closures or game cancellations.
