Xbox free play days are back with two excellent RPGs

Xbox is bringing back free play days for Gold and Game Pass Ultimate members, with two popular RPGs and a moto-racing game up for grabs this time. From now until Feb. 12, 2023, Gold and Ultimate members can download Scarlet Nexus, The Ascent, and TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge 2 for free.

If you like what you see, you can get two of the games at a discount. During the event, Scarlet Nexus is $14.99 (75 percent off), and Isle of Man is $10.49 (65 percent off). On console, you can find the free play days collection under the subscriptions tab in the Xbox Store.

Scarlet Nexus is a cyberpunk RPG from the minds behind Bandai Namco’s Tales of series, following a group of psionic soldiers blessed – or cursed – with supernatural powers and taasked with saving their cities from interdimensional invaders called Others. It’s a straightforward task – until suddenly, their leader stages a coup against the government.

The Ascent is another cyberpunk action-RPG, but this one has a darker twist. The mega-corporation that controlled the city has collapsed, leaving a lawless vacuum in its wake. Your task is surviving and forging a better, brighter future for yourself, using some sweet cybernetic upgrades along the way.

Finally is Ride on the Edge 2, a motorcycle racing game that sets you loose on gorgeous tracks as you learn the ropes and eventually work your way up to challenging the 60-kilometer-long Snaefell Mountain Course. Ride on the Edge 3 releases in May 2023, so if you’re keen on what the series has to offer, now is the time to try.
