Every week, Microsoft does not hesitate to offer many advantages to Xbox Game Pass Core and Ultimate subscribers through the Free Play Days. And this is currently the case with two free games during this weekend that will allow you to discover various landscapes. 

Thus, the first is none other than Survival: Fountain of Youth, a survival game in which you play as a 16th century explorer stranded on a deserted island. Of course, your goal will be to meet your vital needs by feeding yourself with fruits, vegetables, and meat that you will find during your adventure.

But that’s not all, because you will also be able to build a base and shape various tools that will be useful in several tasks. Finally, don’t forget that on a deserted island, danger is present all around you. Thus, it will be necessary to pay attention to the local wildlife which can be aggressive, but also to hostile weather conditions. Not to mention that each island holds many secrets that you will have to discover.

Note that a surprise is present, because the Captain Edition is also available for free during this weekend. And this extension will allow you to discover new additional content, new equipment and new areas to explore.

As for the second game that’s free during the Free Play Days, it turns out to be quite different, because it’s a fishing game. Indeed, this is The Catch: Carp & Coarse Fishing and it’s a simulation focused on patience and precision. In total, you will have to face and catch 35 different species of fish and each one has its own behavior and characteristics.

With environments combining rivers, lakes, and ponds, you will be able to observe magnificent landscapes. The experience will be both enjoyable and challenging, as you will need to adapt your equipment and strategy to achieve your goals.
