Free-to-play games have become one of the most important trends in the industry, and although they do not require an initial payment to access them, these types of titles guarantee a good number of hours of fun thanks to their online component that makes them replayable.

This modality has caught the attention of many developers, due to how profitable games of this type are in the future, so the catalog of options is very varied today and Gamers can find alternatives ranging from shooting, football, racing and combat titles.

Additionally, many of the games allow cross-save, allowing users to have the same account on different devices and not lose their progress.

Although Microsoft’s console has a subscription service called Game Pass, which gives access to a catalog of games for a monthly subscription, it is also possible to acquire free titles without having to pay that monthly fee. To do so, follow these steps:

1. With the console on, go to Microsoft Store.

2. Go to the Popular Free Games section.
