The 'Just For You' section of the Microsoft Store has become pretty popular over the last year-or-so, with Xbox choosing to populate it with a series of great offers - particularly for those who are Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
That remains the case as we speak, but some extremely lucky Xbox fans are even finding that full games are being given away for free as part of the "Just For You" offers - including for the likes of Destiny 2 and EA Sports FC 25.
You can see some examples down below, with the first poster revealing that the £124.99 collection of Destiny 2 content has been reduced to nothing for them, while the second poster shares their special offer for EA's latest footie game:
Now, we've done some digging into this and these are not common deals. The vast majority of Xbox users will not be getting either of them, so if you do have one, considering yourself very fortunate! Keep in mind that EA Sports FC 25 is part of Xbox Free Play Days right now, so it's technically "free" with Xbox Game Pass at the moment, but this is a different situation - the "Just For You" 100% off banner means a few lucky Xbox fans can keep it forever as well!
For the rest of us common folk, there are still some excellent deals showing up right now, including deals for games like Party Animals and The Quarry. The recent Xbox Game Pass addition of UFC 5 also appears here with another bit of free DLC for the Bruce Lee Bundle, while the Ultimate Edition is a whopping 90% off for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members:
It's always worth having a browse of the "Special Offers" section on the Xbox Store for anything like this, which you can find by heading to the "Microsoft Store" app, hitting "Deals", and then scrolling down to the Special Offers section.
We're keen to know if anyone else has come across an insane 100% discount like the Destiny 2 and EA Sports FC 25 examples up above, so please do let us know in the comments! Perhaps you were one of the lucky ones...

I need to take another look at the Just For You offers then as I basically glanced at them and moved on!
Is this a glitch or intentional, @FraserG?
@Fiendish-Beaver Seems to be intentional 🤷♂️
But as I say, the majority of people won't get the Destiny 2 or EA Sports FC 25 ones. Only the lucky few!
Thank you. I had a few of these offers, @FraserG, but I didn't bother to look at them. I'm not usually lucky, so I'm not holding out much hope. I'm the sort of guy that buys a Lucky Dip for the Euromillions, and gets all the right numbers... for the draw that was held the week before... 🤣
From what I’ve read elsewhere (so take with a pinch of salt) it seems to be for people who have spent a lot on micro transactions in previous games etc so spent lots on fc24
Isn't Destiny 2 free for everyone?
@Kieduss The base game is, but not all the DLC.
I got the Bruce Lee dlc for free that was it!
I was gonna say it’s probably for the free showcase version of FC 25 but upon looking, it seems to be the standard addition at a 100% off discount.
Nothing is popping up on my phone but I’ll keep my fingers crossed when I get home later today and open the store on my XBOX.
I got a notification saying 3 games were 100% off, but when I followed the notification there was nothing...
The Destiny 2: Light and Darkness collection is only £124.99 for me 👍🏻
@PhileasFragg
The same. One of those it said was free was an upgrade to Assassins Creed Odyssey as I already owned the standard edition... though I actually own the gold edition so it's already upgraded! One was DLC for UFC. No idea what the other one was.
Super lame. Played tons of Destiny 1 and 2. And, noooooope. Deal not offered to me.
Those Just For You deals are always garbage for me. They will have like 10 being offered at great price. But I ALWAYS own all 15 games offered.
Yes. I did type 15. It is that frustrating for me.
@FraserG Is there any clue as to what games become deals for you? Is it based off of your purchase history or games you play often or something else completely random?
@Tasuki
Yeah , that’s something that I would like to know too. Most of the deals are games I already own in some form or upgrades for the games I got the gold of ultimate edition of. I guess it is completely random or they need to recheck the algorithm
Without even looking at my Xbox, which hasn't been turned on in a week, I know that my 'Just For You' offer will be the Mafia Remastered Trilogy. The same offer its been for the past 7 months. The same offer that appeared 6 months after I bought the trilogy in an Xbox sale.
Utterly pointless.
Nothing for me this time except the Bruce Lee UFC DLC (lol). I can't say I'd go back to playing any Destiny 2 these days even if the expansions were free (just too little time), but I did manually check and it's $150.
@Tasuki Sometimes it's based around your purchase / engagement history, or whether you're an Xbox Game Pass member or not. In certain situations it's just because the publisher is giving away a special deal (that's the case for Party Animals at the moment).
And in others... it seems completely random.
