Xbox releases 6 free games you've 24 hours to check out

This is a prime example of good and bad news.

On the one hand, you’ve got a bumper stack of six free games to play. Unfortunately for you, their availability is subject to a very strict deadline.

You have 24 hours to make the most of these Xbox freebies.

We know that isn’t much time at all when there are six free games to play through, so we’re going to briefly list what each one is so you can prioritise the titles you’re most interested in.

Remember when Dead By Daylight launched on console? What a time to be alive – assuming you survived, that is

• Dead By Daylight – as far as multiplayer horror experiences go, this one from Behaviour Interactive is one of the best. Will you be the killer or one of the survivors?
• Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 – described as the “ultimate” Dragon Ball Z experience, this is one for avid fans who can’t get enough of the action. You'll live, breathe, eat, and sleep the series in this action RPG.
• Hell Let Loose – equally action-packed but for different reasons, this WWII first-person shooter has grit, drama, and chaotic battles. We hope you have nerves of steel.
• F1 24 – if you want to get a brief taste of what it’s like to be an F1 driver, this EA title is the best way to do it. It has a few janks, but generally it's enjoyed by players.
• NHL 25 – another one for all you sports fans out there. Find out if you’ve got what it takes to make it on the ice.
• Warriors Orochi 4 – a highly entertaining game that’ll have you hooked from start to finish. Continuing on from the events of previous games, die-hard fans are thrown back into the action once more.

You might be joining in the fun at the tail end of the latest Xbox Free Play Days, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try and check out one or more of these titles.

This is open to all Xbox Game Pass members, so don’t be shy now.

It’s time to see just how far you can go in just one day. Good luck, you’ll need it.

Your 24 hour timer starts... now!
