‘This can’t be real’ Xbox fans can’t believe that 16 games have been made free this month

XBOX has already added 15 free games to the platform this month, but another one has just made a surprise drop.

With a total of 16 free games in February alone, it has been a bumper month for Xbox gamers.

Available today (February 22, 2024) Dead Island 2 has been added to Xbox Game Pass.

It is available to all tiers of the subscription service – except Xbox Game Pass Core – so most subscribers can jump in and play for free.

Dead Island 2 was originally launched in April last year, and was extremely popular with fans.

The first game in the series was launched in 2011 and fans had been waiting over a decade for the sequel.

However, 2023 is well known to be gaming’s best-ever year, and there were plenty of amazing games trying to get our attention.

This is why some people will have missed out on playing Dead Island 2 on release, but now they have a second chance to play the zombie shooter.

The blurb for Dead Island 2 reads: “A deadly virus is spreading across Los Angeles, turning its inhabitants into zombies. 

“Bitten, infected, but more than just immune, uncover the truth behind the outbreak and discover who – or what – you are.

“Survive, evolve and become the ultimate Zombie Slayer.”

Those who want to try out Dead Island 2 can download it right now via Xbox Game Pass on their consoles.
