Xbox players can try ARC Raiders without a Game Pass subscription this weekend, with access running through Sunday, October 11. Screamer and Family Man are also available through Sunday for Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and Essential subscribers. All three weekend offers began Thursday, October 8, but four other games in Free Play Days have limits on how long players can try them.
Rogue Waters gives all Xbox players a two-hour trial, while Little Nightmares III, High On Life 2 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl also have timed trials. ARC Raiders costs $19.99 during a sale running through October 15, down from $39.99. Its Deluxe Edition and Deluxe Edition upgrade are also discounted by 50% over that period, extending the sale beyond the free weekend’s Sunday cutoff.

Family Man is discounted by 85%, bringing its price from $19.99 to $2.99, while both the Standard Edition and Digital Deluxe Edition of Screamer are 60% off for a limited period. Among the timed-trial games, Rogue Waters costs $7.49 instead of $29.99, and Little Nightmares III drops from $39.99 to $19.99. High On Life 2 is priced at $31.99 rather than $39.99, while S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is $41.99, reduced from $59.99.
The ARC Raiders weekend includes Frozen Trail, which Xbox describes as the game’s largest update since its launch. Xbox says Update 2.0 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl improves performance and changes the game’s appearance and feel. Screamer combines arcade racing with fighting mechanics, while Family Man puts players through moral decisions as they earn money to support a family.
ARC Raiders previously experienced reported connection trouble on June 21, when a status snapshot counted 21 reports over 24 hours. Server connection problems accounted for 17 reports, or 81% of the reported issues in that snapshot.
On Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, players can find the Free Play Days collection beneath Subscriptions in the console’s store. Players buying a game afterward retain the Gamerscore and achievements they earned during the event. Discounts and game availability can differ by region and title.
