The weekend is just around the corner and what better way to hide from this heatwave than to lock yourself in your room and play a bunch of free demos which have recently been added to Xbox?

On top of the Xbox Game Pass and Microsoft Rewards scheme, Xbox regularly releases a bunch of new demos to its store in order to give players the chance to try before they buy.

Star Wars Outlaws is one of the titles up for grabs. Check out a gameplay preview below!

That is the case this week as five new exciting titles have been added for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S users and better yet, they are completely free.

So if you want to try any of these titles before you commit to purchasing them at full price, this is the perfect opportunity to do so.

Here’s what is up for grabs.

First up is Metal Eden, an adrenaline-rush sci-fi FPS which is perfect for the mecha fans out there.

Developed by Reikon Games, players will be part of a unit sent on a suicide mission to rescue citizen’s COREs from Moebius, an orbital city which has now turned into a deathly trap.

Explore cybernetic warfare as you face the dreaded Engineers and uncover the secrets of the Metal Eden.

Next is Persona 3 Reload, a remake of 2006’s RPG Persona 3 which took 2024 by storm.

Now with cutting-edge graphics and gameplay, players will dive into the Dark Hour where everything is no longer what it seems and in order to fight the enemies that soon appear, they will have to activate their mystical Personas and take them to battle.

Star Wars Outlaws is also up for grabs and in this 2024 action-adventure title, players will take on the role of scoundrel Kay Vess who must risk it all in order to seek freedom.

As the first ever open-world Star Wars game, this is not one to miss if you are a fan of a galaxy far, far away.

If you are on the hunt for a roguelite, then Soulstone Survivors may be up your street.

In this action roguelite, you will have to face the Lords of the Void and recover their soulstones in order to become a god.

Uncover secret spells, craft mighty weapons, unlock multiple characters, and conquer the power of the void in order to become unstoppable.

Last but by no means least is Cattle Country which is perfect for fans of Red Dead Redemption and Stardew Valley.

Become a cowboy, build your own homestead, befriend or even romance fellow villagers and fend off some pesky bandits who threaten to take it all.

If you wanted to be a cowboy when you were little, this is the perfect opportunity to live out your dreams.
