Update [Thu 16th Jul 2026, 4:17pm]: Xbox has now added two more games to the list in the form of GTA Online<\/a> and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both of these are free to play for everyone on Xbox, but the original three are now confirmed to require some form of Xbox Game Pass membership in order to access them.<\/p>\n

We’ve updated the list down below to reflect these changes.<\/p>\n

Original Story: It’s funny how quick Thursday can swing back around again, and with it comes your next batch of Xbox Free Play Days titles!<\/p>\n

There are at least three games in the lineup this week, and we’ll update this article later today if Xbox decides to bless us with any more.<\/p>\n

Of the three, Crisol: Theater of Idols<\/a> is the one we’re most eager to try. The survival horror only launched in February and currently holds a ‘Very Positive’ reception on Steam. Could be good, hey?<\/p>\n

Here’s what we know of Xbox’s latest Free Play Days lineup so far:<\/p>\n

All three will be available to play until late on July 20, and two of them are currently on sale if you fancy adding them to your permanent collection. Both Looney Tunes<\/a> (-70%) and Planet Zoo<\/a> (-90%) are heavily discounted, whilst Crisol remains at full price.<\/p>\n
