Xbox One owners can play Overwatch for free all this weekend as long as they’re subscribed to either Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Live Gold. Overwatch was made free as part of the ongoing Free Play Days promotions Microsoft holds each week that make two to three games free-to-play for a couple of days. The other two games accompanying Overwatch in this weekend’s Free Play Days are F1 2020 and Wreckfest, and if you like what you see of them from the free weekend, you can pick them all up at a discount.

The version of Overwatch that’s free to try this weekend is the Origins Edition which is the basic option available on consoles. There’s a Legendary Edition option on sale as well for far less than what it’d normally go for, but it’s the only version of Overwatch that’s discounted during the weekend event. You can get the Legendary Edition from now until August 23rd for $19.80 compared to the $59.99 it usually goes for.

Overwatch has free weeks common enough compared to other games, so it really doesn’t need much of an introduction at this point. As for the other two games, F1 2020 and Wreckfest, you can try them for free as well from now until August 23rd.

F1 2020

Players must also oversee all off-track decisions including managing team facilities and resources. Drive the car you’ve developed throughout the season and win the World Championship. The critically acclaimed Career mode returns allowing more flexibility with the choice of three season lengths.”
