Xbox's Free Play Days Promotion is back with four new free games to check out over the weekend, plus a bonus freebie. As always, the Xbox Free Play Days Promotion has a couple of caveats, namely that sometimes games require Xbox Game Pass to check out. Two of the games this weekend require Xbox Game Pass, but two are free for all Xbox gamers. And while players have almost unlimited access to them, they will lose the games when the free play period comes to an end.
Of course, as noted below for each game, there's usually (though not always) a discount associated with these Xbox games. If something does tickle someone's fancy and it's not enough time to finish (or they just really, really like it), it's worth looking into the discounted price.
The Xbox Free Play Days free games for August 27-August 30 are Control: Ultimate Edition and Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, which are all available to ALL Xbox gamers, while Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker and ARK: Survival Ascended are free for those with an Xbox Game Pass subscription (although these games are NOT Xbox Game Pass titles). Xbox Free Play Days is also promoting the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Open Beta that begins on Friday, August 28, as a highlighted bonus freebie. Running from August 28 at 10 am/1 pm PT to September 1 at 10 am PT/1 pm ET, it includes the following:
Details for each Xbox Free Play Days game are detailed below, alongside links and supplemental information to help readers decide which to check out first. Games can be downloaded via links below OR by navigating to the subscriptions tab on the Xbox Store on consoles.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is a team-based online action game where players create their own ninja and fight alongside three other players. Teams compete against other groups in online battles, with the game built around fast third-person ninja combat and different abilities inspired by the Naruto and Boruto series. Furthermore, it's worth mentioning that this is the only game on this weekend's Play Days promotion with a Free Trial limit, meaning fans cannot experience as much of this title as other games sometimes, likely due to its playstyle and length of core content.
ARK: Survival Ascended is an open-world survival sandbox game rebuilt from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5. Players wake up on a mysterious island and must gather resources, craft equipment, build bases, manage survival needs, and tame, train, breed, and ride dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. It supports solo play, PvE, PvP, co-op, and cross-platform multiplayer, with multiple ARK worlds available as the game continues through Early Access.
Control is a third-person action-adventure game from Remedy Entertainment that blends supernatural powers, shooting, exploration, and a strange story set inside the Federal Bureau of Control. Players take on the role of Jesse Faden as she searches for her missing brother (the star of Control Resonant) while dealing with a corruptive force that has taken over the Bureau. The Ultimate Edition also includes the Foundation and AWE expansions, temporarily giving players the complete experience ahead of the new game.
