Xbox Free Play Days: Black Ops 6 leads a varied Oct 30-Nov 2 slate

Table of Content

Xbox has outlined a larger-than-usual Free Play Days lineup, mixing competitive shooters, survival horror and tabletop-inspired strategy. Most titles are playable for Game Pass members during Oct 30-Nov 2, with one notable exception. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 opens its Multiplayer and Zombies modes across a slightly longer window, while two additional trials are available to all Xbox members. The focus here is on access dates, platforms, and what each game offers during the trial period.

What’s included and when

The core Free Play Days window runs Oct 30-Nov 2 for Game Pass members. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 extends beyond that – its trial spans Oct 28-Nov 3 and specifically covers Multiplayer and Zombies. Separately, Yes, Your Grace and a 2-hour timed trial of Post Trauma are available to all Xbox members during the event.
