These 20+ Games Are Free To Claim On Xbox One, Series X & Series S

Looking for games that are completely 100% free to claim, download and play on Xbox? We're not talking about free-to-play titles like Halo Infinite, Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone — aka, games that are designed to be free while implementing microtransactional elements — instead, the following full Xbox games and tech demos are focused around being entirely (or almost entirely) free with no catches whatsoever.

Back in 2020, we used this list to highlight the many great Xbox 360 games you can claim for free on Xbox One, Series X and Series S, and we've since updated it to include a few more modern titles as well. Hopefully you find it useful!

We've also included the Xbox Games With Gold for October 2022 below, in case you haven't grabbed them yet!
