Xbox first-party 2026 game is available to secure for free for a very limited-time

With the holiday season fast approaching, we’re entering an expensive time of year, so it doesn’t help that the gaming industry is in the midst of delivering banger after banger.

GTA VI is on the way in just a couple of weeks, with many of us having already splashed the cash on the likes of Silent Hill: Townfall, Star Wars Galactic Racer, Phantom Blade Zero, Marvel’s Wolverine, The Blood of Dawnwalker, and more.

If your wallet is in need of a break, you do now have the chance to grab one of Xbox’s first-party 2026 releases for free for a very limited time.

Microsoft has partnered up with Dominos to give away 2,000 Minecraft Dungeons II codes daily from now until 11.59pm ET on Wednesday, November 4.

No purchase is required to enter the draw, despite the encouragement to upload a receipt. Of course, if you have ordered a pizza, you can upload your receipt.

For those who haven’t, though, you should - as highlighted by Wario64 - see a line that states “To submit via alternative method of entry, click here” above the option to “Submit & Validate Email”.

You can only enter the sweepstakes once, but non-winning entries do carry over, so if you don’t win one of today’s 2,000 codes, your entry may nab yourself a prize on November 3 or 4.

The only downside to the draw is that it is open to residents of the United States only, and you must be aged 13 years or over.

If you tick both of those boxes, it’s well worth getting your name in. Wario64 was able to nab a code after testing out the contest.

They secured the Standard Edition of Minecraft Dungeons II, which can be played on both Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Minecraft Dungeons II perhaps flew slightly under the radar when it launched back at the end of September.

As made clear earlier, September and October were packed to the rafters with major releases, with many titles desperate to avoid launching in November and therefore GTA VI’s shadow.

This meant, though, that something like Minecraft Dungeons II, which might otherwise be a month’s standout release, somehow got lost in the noise.

Critics dubbed Minecraft Dungeons II “polished” and an “excellent advancement”

Xbox Game Studios

The game did secure a respectable 75 on Metacritic, however, and fans seem to think that’s bang on as at the time of writing, the game holds an almost equal user score of 7.6.

“Expanding and improving on the original game in most conceivable ways, Minecraft Dungeons 2 is an excellent advancement in this ARPG spin-off for one of gaming's most beloved and iconic franchises,” wrote Destructoid.

GamesRadar+ added, “Minecraft Dungeons 2 scores zero points for originality and feels very much like its predecessor, but when you're trying to perfect a formula, it's not the time to add wild new ingredients. The result is a polished and enjoyable dungeon crawler that children and adults alike can enjoy whether solo, online, or next to each other on the couch.”

If you’ve played regular ol’ Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons II is a very different beast, albeit a must-play one for fans of that base game.

It unsurprisingly takes on the form of a dungeon crawler; players enter the Shift, an uncharted dimension full of threats.

Playable solo or with friends, your goal is to gear up, fight, loot, and repeat as you attempt to stop a corrupt plot from reaching the Overworld.

If you fancy a go, you have mere days left to make use of that Dominos contest, so get a move on.
