Alongside the Summer Game Fest Play Days, we also have a Remedy-themed Xbox Free Play Days this weekend. If you have an Xbox Live Gold membership or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you will be able to check out Control (Standard Edition) for free across Saturday and Sunday.
The Free Play Days session runs from Thursday, June 8th at 00:01 PDT until Sunday, June 11th at 11:59pm PDT. (Thursday, June 8th at 07:00 UTC until Monday, June 12th at 06:59 UTC.)
In addition to the free trial, Control (Standard Edition) is on sale at £7.49 (-70%). As the Standard Edition only contains the base game, you may also be interested in the two DLC packs; The Foundation and AWE, which are also -70% off (both as single DLC packs or together with the Control Season Pass).
If you're looking for more Remedy adventures to jump into, there are some Xbox deals for you! Alan Wake (2010) is currently available at -67% off, bringing the cost to just £4.94. Alan Wake's American Nightmare is now -75% off at £1.68. And if you've yet to check out Quantum Break, the game is currently -75% off at £7.19.
