The Xbox Free Play Days for this weekend have been revealed, with three titles for Xbox Game Pass Core and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members to play. We’ve got Anno 1800, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, and Train Sim World 4. On top of that, Exoprimal is available for all Xbox players for the same time period too. All of these games will be available from Thursday, November 9 at 12:01 a.m. PDT until Sunday, November 12 at 11:59 p.m. PDT.

Xbox Free Play Days games (November 9 to November 12)

The list of Free Play Games for this weekend was posted on Xbox Wire earlier today. Anno 1800 and Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker have been in Free Play Days before, but this is the first time we’ve seen Train Sim World 4 turn up here (no surprise given that it only launched back in September). Exoprimal is in Game Pass so a lot of Xbox players have already had “free” access to it, but it’s nice to see it opened up to all Xbox players for the weekend too.

Anno 1800 is estimated at around 50-60 hours for 1000G completion time, which means you’re not getting it done within the trial period unless you don’t sleep for three days (don’t do that, please.) If you’ve already made progress from the last time it was in Free Play Days though, you might be able to get it done.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is an astonishing 200-300 hour completion, according to our community stats, so yeah, that’s not happening unless you can fold space and time. We don’t have enough data for Train Sim World 4 to give you a completion time estimate, but the game has a lot of DLC and an impressive total of 4500G, so again, it looks like a tough ask. Exoprimal is another hefty time investment for the 100%, with a 60-80 hour completion time.

Should these beasty achievement completion times stop you from checking out any of these games if they look interesting to you? No they should not, but still, we wanted to give you the heads up.
