PGA Tour 2K25: Tee Off During the U.S. Open<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PGA Tour 2K25 arrives on Free Play Days perfectly timed with the real-world U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. Players can take on the legendary course in Ranked Tours mode, directly alongside the tournament happening in real life. A community challenge is also live: if players collectively complete one million rounds at Shinnecock Hills, everyone earns exclusive rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published by 2K and optimized for Xbox Series X|S, PGA Tour 2K25 features licensed golfers including Tiger Woods and delivers a polished golf simulation experience. During the promotion, the Pro Edition is 34% off and the Legend Edition Year 2 is 30% off, with discounts running until July 2, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two Point Museum: Build and Curate Your Dream Museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Two Point Museum, developed by Two Point Studios and published by SEGA, launched on March 4, 2025 as the third game in the beloved Two Point series, following Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus. It is a business simulation game where players design, build, and manage their own museums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game features over 200 unique exhibits across five distinct museum locations: Prehistory, Aquarium, Supernatural, Science, and Space. Players send expert teams on expeditions to discover new artifacts, manage visitor satisfaction through Buzz and Knowledge systems, hire staff ranging from security guards to custodians, and balance budgets to keep their institutions thriving. The whimsical humour the series is known for runs through every corner of the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IGN praised Two Point Museum as “a rewarding, deep, challenging, and highly entertaining tycoon game,” highlighting the variety of exhibits and the thrill of discovery through the expedition system. It is currently discounted to $20.09 during the Free Play Days promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assetto Corsa: One of the Most Realistic Racing Sims on Console<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Developed by Italian studio Kunos Simulazioni, Assetto Corsa is a hardcore sim racing title built around driving realism. The game includes over 90 officially licensed cars from Ferrari, McLaren, Lamborghini, Porsche, BMW, Alfa Romeo, and more, each modelled using real manufacturer telemetry data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tracks are the real highlight. Assetto Corsa features 15 legendary real-world circuits with 24 configurations, including Silverstone, Monza, Spa Francorchamps, Nurburgring Nordschleife, Imola, and Barcelona. Most of these tracks were recreated using laser-scanning technology for millimetre-level accuracy. The physics engine simulates tyre flat spots, heat cycles, graining, and blistering in ways few other racing games attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 75% off after the free weekend, Assetto Corsa drops to just $7.49, making it easily the most affordable pickup of the four if you decide to keep it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dead by Daylight: 10th Anniversary and the Jason Chapter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The standout offering this weekend is Dead by Daylight, which is free for all Xbox players regardless of Game Pass status. Behaviour Interactive’s asymmetric survival horror game is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and the centrepiece of the celebration is the new Dead by Daylight: Jason chapter that launched on June 16, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason Voorhees, the iconic slasher from the Friday the 13th franchise, joins the game as a new killer. The 10th anniversary event runs from June 16 through July 7, 2026, featuring exclusive cosmetics, limited-time challenges, and collectible rewards. On top of the free weekend access, the base game is discounted by up to 60% and selected DLCs have special pricing until July 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For horror fans who have not yet tried Dead by Daylight, this is arguably the best time to jump in: no subscription needed, a brand-new iconic killer, and a massive anniversary event all running simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
