Each of these games offer something different for players to try.Battlefield 5drops players into immersive battles composed of 64 players along with offering a single player story mode. The inclusion ofBattlefield 5as part of Xbox’s free-to-play games seems like a logical move considering that the company offeredBattlefield 4as part of Free Play Daysonly a couple weeks ago. As the release ofBattlefield 2042draws closer,Battlefield 5is one option for fans looking to get back into the series while they wait for the next installment in the franchise.
The other two games provide alternatives for those that would rather play something besides an FPS.Assetto Corsa Competizioneallows players to get behind the wheel of some of the world’s fastest cars in the Official GT World Challenge game. For players looking for an MMO-style experience,The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimitedlets gamers dive into an expansive RPG world and even play the Gates of Oblivion prologue quest.
Besides this deal running now for Xbox Live Gold members, players can also pick upBattlefield 5on Amazon Prime. As part of Amazon Prime Gaming, those with a subscription to Amazon Prime can getBattlefield 5for free on Origin. The game is included with Xbox Game Pass as well.
