Sure thing, here goes.

You know that feeling when summer hits, and all you wanna do is something—anything—that keeps you in the cool zone? Welcome, welcome, my friends, to Free Play Days! No, I didn’t make that up. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is up for grabs this week for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Standard, and Core peeps. That’s from Thursday, July 10, right till Sunday, July 13. Mark those dates or don’t. But seriously, why wouldn’t you?

Okay, here’s the kicker—MLB The Show 25 and Polterguys: Possession Party, you can try ’em for nada. As in zero bucks. Free Play Days really said, “Games for everyone!” Memberships? Who needs ‘em here.

Got Blasphemous on your list? Imagine a 2-hour sprint through its madness—just a tease, right? But why do I feel like 2 hours is never enough?

How do you get in on this action? Find ’em on Xbox.com. Yeah, click, click. You’ll end up on the Microsoft Store—make sure you’re logged in, or you’ll just get sad faces. On console? Hit the Subscriptions tab in the Xbox Store, look for the Free Play Days section. It’s a treasure hunt, except it’s all laid out for you.

Oh, and if you fall in love with these games—and why wouldn’t you—buy ’em at a discount! However, don’t ask me about the percentages; my math’s rusty. They say it varies by title and where you live. Basically, buying games can be like deciphering a cryptic emoji. But really, who doesn’t like a good challenge now and then?

Now, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition. Your park, your chaos. Manage or mismanage parks, whatever works for you. It’s like real life but with rides and cotton candy. 25% off during Free Play Days or during the UGS from 7.17 to 7.31. “UGS”? Oh, Ultimate Games Sale. See, even game salesspeak has its own abbreviations.

And hey, Polterguys: Possession Party. Super cool—spooky, 8-player madness where ghosts get all hissy, turning chairs into monsters or whatever. A game where you can be delightfully weird. Sneak and sabotage or just go for the chaos.

MLB The Show 25—the journey from high school star (or wannabe) to Hall of Fame extraordinaire. It’s like RPG but with baseballs. Yeah, mix that in your head.

Lastly, Blasphemous—twisted religion and curses? Yes please, if you like your games dark and your adrenaline high. Cvstodia’s a nightmare-ish ride, but in this virtual world, isn’t that what we’re after?

There you go, feel free to dive into some of these come Free Play Days, or just live vicariously through this chaotic little write-up.
