Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S users can now check out nearly 40 games for free, courtesy of a special new event. With the proliferation of Xbox Game Pass, the idea of downloading Xbox games at no extra cost is not as novel as it used to be. It remains novel for those without a subscription though. The new free downloads are not full free game downloads though, but free demos that allow Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S users the chance to try out any game included before committing to buying said game.

Nowhere does it say these games, or at least some of them, won’t retain their free demos beyond this event, but right now there is no guarantee of this or even reason to expect this. If this does happen, it will probably be down the line farther removed from the event, otherwise what would be the point of this special promotion.
