Windows Report says four games are on the list: Hypnospace Outlaw, STUFFED, Sumerian Six and Sunderfolk. Pure Xbox traced those titles to a Reddit user's digging through Xbox Store listings. It says that user's findings usually match the official lineup, but Xbox may add one or two more games later in the day.
What is confirmed and what is not
Microsoft had not published its official announcement when these reports appeared. Treat the four titles as an early, likely list, not a final one.
- Dates: Windows Report puts the window at today through Sunday, November 15. Pure Xbox says the games should stay free until late on November 15, with a slight chance of running longer.
- A conflicting end time: Spain's Generación Xbox reads the same Store listings differently. It points to Monday, November 16, at about 20:00 Spanish mainland time as a possible end. It adds that timing can vary by game and that the final conditions are still unknown. Until Xbox states it, the safest reading is "through the weekend, with the exact cutoff to be confirmed."
- Who can play: Pure Xbox expects some of the games to need a Game Pass subscription, while one or two may be free to everyone. No source ties a specific tier or trial length to any of the four.
- Discounts: Windows Report notes that Microsoft usually discounts the games in a Free Play Days lineup. No prices or percentages for this lineup have been published.
The four games, briefly
These descriptions come from Generación Xbox, not from Xbox or the developers. They don't confirm Free Play Days eligibility.
- Hypnospace Outlaw: An investigation adventure set in a fictional late-1990s internet, where you moderate a virtual network. It's listed for Xbox One and Xbox Series, with Xbox Play Anywhere support.
- STUFFED: A first-person shooter where you play a teddy bear protecting a child from nightmares. It's listed for Xbox One and Xbox Series, with solo play and online co-op for up to four.
- Sumerian Six: Real-time strategy and stealth in an alternate-history World War II, led by a team of scientists with special abilities. It's listed for Xbox Series.
- Sunderfolk: A turn-based tactical RPG for up to four players across six classes. Players use a phone or tablet as a controller through a free app. It's listed for Xbox Series.
A gg.deals report from an earlier Sunderfolk event adds that only the host needs to own the game. That was reported for the August event, not this one. Check the live listing before assuming it applies now.
This isn't the first run for these games
Some of these titles have been through the program before. Pure Xbox notes that STUFFED and Sunderfolk have both appeared in Free Play Days lineups before.
Sunderfolk was in an August 13–16 event. GamingHQ reported it required an Xbox Game Pass Essential, Premium or Ultimate subscription.
Hypnospace Outlaw ran in November 2025. Xbox's announcement at the time said it was free for all Xbox players, with no Game Pass needed.
Past terms don't carry over. If you've already played one of these, the new event may not change anything. If you skipped one, don't assume the old access rules still apply.
How Free Play Days works
Xbox's November 5 announcement shows how the program usually runs. It also shows that rules can differ by game within one event.
- That week's main titles were open to Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and Essential members. One game had a two-hour trial. Two others were free to all Xbox members.
- Players can start games from the individual game pages on Xbox.com, which route through the Microsoft Store. On Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, they can open the Free Play Days collection under the Subscriptions tab in the Xbox Store.
- Xbox said that buying a game at a limited-time discount lets you keep Gamerscore and achievements earned during the event. It also warned that discounts, percentages and availability can vary by title and region.
Practical checklist
- Open each game's Store listing before downloading. The listing, not a news report, shows whether it needs Game Pass or is free to all.
- Note the end time shown there, including its time zone, because of the possible November 15 versus 16 difference.
- Check platform support. Sumerian Six and Sunderfolk are listed for Xbox Series only, so Xbox One owners may not get them.
- If you plan to buy, compare the discount against the game's regular price and any other sales.
- For Sunderfolk, have a phone or tablet ready for the controller app.
The lineup could grow once Xbox publishes its official post, and the access rules for each game may change with it. As it stands, the confirmed facts are the four titles and the weekend window. Everything else, including eligibility, trial caps and prices, waits for Microsoft or the live Store pages.
