Report: Free Play Days appear in Xbox One preview program

4.7
Microsoft has a new promotion in store for Xbox Live Gold subscribers dubbed "Free Play Days," assuming a screenshot captured by Reddit users under the Xbox One preview program can be taken at face value.

Redditor JBurton90 posted the above image to the online discussion hub last night. It appears to depict Xbox One game Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, only the cutesy platformer bears the words "Free Play Day With Gold" in place of a price tag. Nearby, Crimson Dragon and Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut are also listed as "free" for Xbox Live Gold subscribers owing to the ongoing and well-known Games With Gold promotion - the same promotion that offered Max: The Curse of Brotherhood to Gold subscribers at no charge just last month.

Though it's unclear exactly what the Free Play Day promotion entails or when it will officially launch for members of the general public, it seems pretty self-explanatory. Presumably, Xbox Live Gold members will be granted one day to play games available as digital downloads through the Xbox Live Marketplace at no charge. Microsoft has yet to officially acknowledge the promotion, though a recent tweet from Xbox Support confirms the validity of this report and claims that the company will offer more information shortly.

I really like this idea, I can try out a game before playing it :)

The idea is great.Getting to try out a game and see if its to your likings is something useful.

I like the idea. I find that some games are just plain bad. Getting to try them out really helps make the "buy" decision.

I like the idea of this. You can play these games temporarily and see if you'd like to purchase it at a later time. Brilliant.

Gossip Umm by the time I finish downloading the game the day will be over... my internet sucks.


I agree with this 100%. my internet is horrid. xD


Seconded. This is going to be a pointless feature for many users because most people do not live in areas with blazingly fast internet speeds.


This is why I hate it when they only put the trial out for 1 day. My internet is too terrible.


Don't worry my internet is half decent.


you guys should look into a different provider
