Thursday is back again, and so it's time for a new batch of Xbox Free Play Days titles!

There's six games in total, with NBA 2K27 leading the charge this week. The timing is great too, as the basketball simulation series is supporting Xbox Play Anywhere for the first time in its history, allowing players to take to the court on Xbox for PC and handheld devices.

Here's a closer look at the latest Xbox Free Play Days lineup:

This week you'll require some sort of Xbox Game Pass subscription in order to play most of them. The Alters is the only title that's free to play for all on Xbox, though, it's limited to a three-hour timed trial.

Normally, all of these games become available to play on the day of announcement, which remains the case for all but NBA 2K27, for which access begins tomorrow at 12pm PDT / 8pm BST.

All of these games will be available to play until late on October 18, and a few of them are also on sale if you fancy adding them to your permanent collection - Soccer Story is 85% off, Ravenswatch is going for 65% off, and The Alters is discounted by 55%.

We'll leave you with some instructions on how to download these below, and let us know what you'll be playing!
