Microsoft is once again launching a weekend of free play days for Xbox Live Gold members, and this time Halo Wars 2 and Conan Exiles are on deck. While Microsoft has yet to announce the promotion, you can currently find both titles listed in the "Free Play Days" portion of the "Deals" section on your Xbox console.
Released in early 2017, Halo Wars 2 is the real-time strategy (RTS) followup to the original. Set not long after the story of Halo 5, Halo Wars 2 finds players battling against a group known as the Banished. All of the hallmarks of an RTS are here, tasking players with gathering resources and building up their armies in an effort to go up against the Banished in all-out war.
Conan Exiles, meanwhile, is a survival title set in the fictional universe from Conan the Barbarian. Players have to battle against the elements, wildlife, and other players in a bid to survive the game's massive open world.
As is typical with free play days, any progress you make in either game should carry over if you opt to pick them up after your free time is up. Halo Wars 2 and Conan Exiles are also currently available for $20 and $30, respectively.
