Midweek was particularly eventful with the presentation of the Nintendo Switch 2... and the prices of its games! Given the uproar (€90 for physical purchases), we think we'll be taking advantage of even more opportunities to play for free thanks to distributors' promotions. Whether via the Epic Games Store, Steam, or Prime Gaming, there's plenty to do. Let's also not forget the Xbox Game Pass, which is coming soon with 4 free games that you can enjoy right now.
New free games on the Xbox Game Pass
Lately, the Xbox Game Pass has delighted its subscribers by offering them new benefits. But that doesn't mean you should abandon your old habits. Microsoft's on-demand games service invites you to a new free games weekend!
If you're new to the Game Pass ecosystem, you're about to discover a very useful service: FreePlayDays. Every week, from Thursday to Monday morning, several non-catalog games are available on demand, at no extra cost. This time, there are four free games that are coming until April 7th (8:59 AM at the latest), including the very popular Dead by Daylight.
Age of Wonders 4 lets you try its new expansion this weekend
First title on the list of free games this weekend on Xbox Game Pass: Age of Wonders 4! Based on the famous turn-based strategy franchise, this fourth installment honors the 4X genre, bringing a breath of fresh air with its fantasy universe.
For Microsoft's FreePlayDays, Age of Wonders 4 is available for free for a few days. This is your chance to explore the game's magical realms, evolve your faction, and set out to conquer a vast territory. What's more, you can take the opportunity to test the latest expansion including the Giant Kings to the game.
Dead by Daylight challenges you to survive on Xbox Game Pass
The Dead by Daylight franchise (because it's a real franchise now) continues to make you tremble with pleasure! In multiplayer, take part in this asymmetric survival horror game in which you must either survive against monsters from great horror films, or, on the contrary, play as the villain ready to rip the lives of his victims.
Celebrating its ninth anniversary this year, Dead by Daylight is still as popular as ever. Year after year, it has added content to renew the experience. From Scream to Chucky, including Alien, it has drawn on a cult following to expand its roster. Horror games are not left out either, with characters from Silent Hill and Resident Evil. Are you interested? It's time to enjoy it for free on Xbox Game Pass.
Catan is free on Xbox Game Pass
Age of Wonders isn't the only strategy game coming to Xbox Game Pass this weekend! Microsoft's service also lets you enjoy Catan. This is an adaptation of a very popular board game, which takes its codes down to the aesthetic.
In online multiplayer or now local, the famous board game comes to life at the end of the controller (or keyboard and mouse, as you prefer). Develop a colony, build roads and manage your resources to become the ruler of Catan! Treat yourself to great games thanks to Xbox Game Pass.
Everspace 2, the last free game on the list
Finally, Xbox Game Pass is giving us a complete change of scenery with one last free game all weekend. It's Everspace 2, a shooter that, as its name suggests, takes you on a space journey! After an encouraging two-year early access period, this production by Rockfish Games was finally released in 2023 to a positive critical reception.
Everspace 2's success lies in its blend of genres. Between a third-person space shooter and roguelike mechanics, it promises a nice challenge for those who enjoy a challenge. The environments are also very pleasant to explore. It's therefore a guaranteed (and free!) change of scenery that awaits you on Xbox Game Pass.
