Another trio of games that are part of the Xbox Free Play Days is available now to try out for free for Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members. Overcooked! All You Can Eat, Civilization VI, and Call of the Sea are all available to try in their entirety from May 5-8 until the Xbox Free Play Days period ends at 11:59 PM PT on May 8.
Getting a taste of three games
During the Xbox Free Play Days, all online and offline modes are available from the Civilization VI, Overcooked! All You Can Eat, and Call of the Sea base games. However, no DLC add-ons will be included for the Xbox Free Play weekend. While neither Call of the Sea nor Overcooked have additional DLC, this means the following content will be unavailable for Civilization 6:
- Maya & Gran Colombia Pack
- Ethiopia Pack
- Byzantium & Gaul Pack
- Babylon Pack
- Vietnam & Kublai Khan Pack
- Portugal Pack
- Teddy Roosevelt Persona Pack and Catherine de Medici Persona Pack (only available as part of the New Frontier Pass)
- Nubia Civilization & Scenario Pack
- Khmer & Indonesia Civilization & Scenario Pack
- Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm (only available as part of the Anthology Upgrade Bundle)
Any progress made during the Xbox Free Play Days weekend, including any achievement unlocks made between May 5-8, will be transferred to the full version of the game whenever you decide to make a purchase. Just two of the games are due to be on sale throughout the Free Play period. Call of the Sea is on sale at 40% off, down to $11.99. Only the standard edition of Civilization VI is on sale at the moment; this is currently at 70% off, priced at $8.99. However, the Anthology Upgrade Bundle will also be 50% off at $24.99. Overcooked! All You Can Eat will not be on sale through the weekend.
