Six Assassin's Creed Games Available for Free Play Days on Game Pass This Weekend
For many years, Microsoft has upheld a cherished tradition: each weekend, they offer a selection of games—typically three—available for download and play at no additional cost to anyone with a Game Pass subscription (Essential, Premium, or Ultimate). This initiative is known as "Free Play Days." We usually make a point of highlighting occasions when particularly strong titles are featured, and this weekend is definitely one such event.
This week, an impressive six games are included, all genuine classics from the iconic Assassin's Creed series. To make the offer even more appealing, there's a fantastic blend of both older, classic entries and more recent titles, providing excellent variety for all players. Furthermore, every one of these games runs smoothly at a crisp 60 frames per second on the Xbox Series X, significantly enhancing the gameplay experience.
Notably, the most recent installment, *Mirage*, is available for all Xbox members to try for two hours, even those without a Game Pass subscription. The other five games, however, offer unlimited play for Game Pass subscribers throughout the event. Here's the full lineup available:
- Assassin's Creed: Unity (2014)
- Assassin's Creed: Syndicate (2015)
- Assassin's Creed Origins (2017)
- Assassin's Creed Odyssey (2018)
- Assassin's Creed Valhalla (2020)
- Assassin's Creed Mirage (2023) - 2-hour trial for all Xbox members
All these thrilling titles are now available for free download and play until Monday morning at 9:00 AM. They are also currently on sale until the same date, and should you decide to purchase any of them, your saved game progress will, of course, seamlessly carry over.
