Kick some ass, burn some rubber, and struggle for world domination this weekend
Microsoft has announced the games included in this weekend's Xbox Free Play Days promotion for Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.

If you're looking to throw hands this weekend, well then obviously you'll want to look no further than Tekken 7, which we gave 4/5 stars back in 2017. The 2020 remaster of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit has been generally well-received and includes all of the game's post-release content, so I'd imagine that's an excellent way to spend a Saturday night for fans of racing games. Or if you're in the mood for world domination, Civilization 6 should more than scratch that itch.
