Xbox Game Pass ended the month of April in style, offering a few first day releases and a few free bonus games at different levelsand the month of May has already started well. However, even if you’re not a Game Pass member, you currently have access to a $60 game that’s 100% free. You don’t need Game Pass or any gadgets. All you need is an Xbox and an internet connection.
The news was shared on the official website Xbox website, which revealed several free games for those with an Xbox Game Pass subscription. However, one title is free for all, but there is a caveat: the offer ends very soon. If you’re looking for something free to play this weekend, you should definitely consider giving this one a try.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is currently completely free for all Xbox users. No, you don’t need Game Pass to play it. There’s a catch, though: it’s part of Free Play Days this weekend, so the offer expires very soon (in about 24 hours from now). According to the listing on the official Xbox website, it is free from April 30 to May 3, 2026.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is known for its 3v3 battles and extensive roster, but it also offers a single-player mode. He has a solid 87 on Metacritic and a respectable user score of 7.9. Our review of the game in 2018 praised it as “the best Dragon Ball game of all time” at the time. You can read 8/10 review from ScreenRant here. In other words, if you are a Dragon Ball fan and haven’t tried this one, now is definitely the time to do so.
While playing Dragon Ball FighterZ free on Xbox is about to expire soon, the game is also on sale on the Xbox storefront. Although it usually costs $59.99, you can get it at a deep discount for just $8.99. The deal is part of this promotion though, so this deal won’t be available for very long either.
And if you have Game Pass, this weekend’s free play days also include Railway Empire 2, NBA rebound, And Predator: hunting grounds. These first two games also expire on May 3, but you’ll be able to try Predator: Hunting Grounds until May 4. They are all available in the Ultimate, Premium and Essential tiers of Xbox Game Pass. And like Dragon Ball FighterZthey also benefit from various discounts for a limited time.
