Gaming2 views2026-07-31
Xbox has launched a new Free Play Days event featuring WWE 2K26, Wildgate and Polterguys: Possession Party. The three games can be played from Thursday, July 30, through Sunday, August 2, 2026, although their access requirements are different.
WWE 2K26 and Wildgate are available to try for all Xbox members during the event. An Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium or Essential subscription is not required to access these two titles during the free weekend.
WWE 2K26 gives players access to a roster of more than 400 playable WWE Superstars and Legends. The game includes CM Punk’s 2K Showcase, new match types and well-known wrestlers such as The Rock, Triple H, John Cena, Rhea Ripley, Rey Fénix and Rusev.
Wildgate combines first-person action with spaceship combat in a multiplayer PvPvE experience. Artifact Brawl challenges crews to capture an artifact and escape through the Wildgate, while Fleet Battle supports two large teams of up to 12 players each. Treasure Hunt offers a more relaxed mode focused on collecting valuables and escaping safely.
Polterguys: Possession Party is available through Free Play Days for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and Essential members. Up to eight players control mischievous ghosts, possess ordinary objects, use unusual powers and attempt to direct a dangerous monster toward their opponents.
Players can install the games through the Free Play Days section of the Xbox Store. Achievements and Gamerscore earned during the event will remain connected to the player’s account, and progress can continue after purchasing the full game.
With competitive wrestling, spaceship battles and supernatural multiplayer chaos included in the same weekend, the latest Free Play Days event gives Xbox users three very different games to test before deciding whether to buy them.
