Xbox Free Play Days: Dead by Daylight and Two Point Museum Are Free This Weekend

Microsoft has officially announced the lineup for this weekend’s Xbox Free Play Days event, giving players access to four popular titles at no cost. Available from Friday, August 23, through Monday, August 26, these games can be downloaded and played on Xbox consoles without any subscription requirements.

What’s Included in This Weekend’s Event

The highlight of this month’s selection is Dead by Daylight, the asymmetrical multiplayer horror game where one player takes on the role of a killer while four others attempt to escape. Players can dive into the terrifying world of survivors and killers without needing an Xbox Game Pass Core subscription.

Also joining the roster is Two Point Museum, the latest entry in the beloved management simulation series. Fans of building and curating exhibits will find plenty to do as they design their own museum, attract visitors, and manage resources in this charming title.

The event also features two other titles, rounding out a diverse mix of genres for Xbox players to explore over the long weekend. Whether you are looking for intense competitive action or relaxed management gameplay, there is something here for everyone.

What This Means for You

For everyday Windows and Xbox users, this is an excellent opportunity to try out games that typically require a purchase or subscription. Since these titles are free to play during the event window, you can download them, experience the core gameplay loops, and decide if they are worth adding to your permanent library later. Just remember to start playing before Monday night to make the most of the free access period.

To participate, simply navigate to the Microsoft Store on your Xbox console or PC, search for the specific titles, and select “Play Now.” No credit card or subscription is required during this promotional window.
