Xbox Free Play Day Games (December 14-17)
- EA Sports FC 24
- Aliens: Fireteam Elite
- LEGO 2K Drive
EA Sports FC 24's sales struggled this year compared to its FIFA-branded predecessors, so it's no surprise that the company is offering free trial periods and steep discounts. While some fans thought that the game did not introduce enough new changes to warrant its original $70 price tag, EA Sports FC 24 still offers the series' classic and addictive soccer gameplay, so fans of the sport should be sure to try it out.
Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a cooperative shooter that pits three players against hordes of Xenomorphs. Although the game has its weaknesses, it features satisfying gunplay and a wide range of classes for players to choose from. The game's player count has dwindled since its 2021 release, but this weekend's free trial period is likely to give it a boost.
LEGO 2K Drive is a LEGO-racing hybrid that comes with the genre's usual assortment of features, including a car-building feature. This is a racing game that's great for kids and adults alike, and can be enjoyed in singleplayer or multiplayer modes. Some think that LEGO 2K Drive should have implemented crossovers to spice the game up and draw more players in, but it seems that Visual Concepts, the game's developer, made a conscious effort to avoid that strategy.
