Right after dropping 9 new free games for Game Pass subscribers, Xbox has just announced its newest lineup of free offerings included in October's newest Free Play Days event. During the limited-time event, both PC and Xbox players will be able to access and play the free games even without a paid subscription.

Although Xbox did add a few Game Pass exclusive offerings alongside the newest Free Play Days announcement, which will only be available if you have an Essential membership or higher, you can still enjoy a majority of these titles without the need for any extra payments or subscriptions of any kind.

As shared by Xbox Wire, the first major game arriving for free will be the hit extraction shooter Arc Raiders, which you'll be able to download and play as much as you want from now until October 11, just in time for its massive Frozen Trail Expansion. The rest of the weekend's Free Play Day offerings are a bit more limiting, however, with the following games available as timed trials, rather than temporary access trials:

While most of these experiences are limited by how far you'll actually be able to get before your timer runs out, all of the offerings are currently on sale to let you pick up and continue their stories right away if you wind up getting hooked on their gameplay premise or story.

If you do happen to already own an Xbox Game Pass membership, even the lowest tier will grant you temporary access to two new releases with Screamer and Family Man from now until Sunday, October 11.
