One of the things we low-key hate about the Xbox Store is that some games will be advertised with a release date ahead of time, and others will just randomly appear on there without warning \u2014 no marketing whatsoever!<\/p>\n

That was seemingly the case with three new “free” games that popped up over Christmas in Puzzle Galaxy Xbox Edition, Coloring Book and Cup Heroes, all of which include optional DLC but also plenty of entirely free content.<\/p>\n

These are obviously all just casual experiences that are unlikely to blow anyone away from a gameplay perspective, but it’s worth noting that two of them contain a bunch of easy Xbox achievements<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In fact, we’ve already found two walkthroughs on YouTube (from The Hidden Levels<\/a>) that claim you can get all 1000G achievements in Puzzle Galaxy Xbox Edition and Coloring Book within 40-50 minutes and one hour respectively.<\/p>\n

Is it worth playing these games just to get the achievements? We’ll leave that up to you! You can check out the aforementioned walkthroughs below (there isn’t one for Cup Heroes), and we’ll let you know when more “free” games get released on Xbox in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Play with beautiful varied illustrations, breathtaking photos and special video puzzles playing after completing a particular assembly.<\/p>\n

Unleash your imagination in Coloring Book! Explore a wide selection of beautiful drawings and whiteboards, all organized into creative themed collections.<\/p>\n
