Free Play Days, Graveyard Keeper

Xbox’s current Free Play Days window ends Sunday, April 12, with three trial games expiring before the weekend is over. (news.xbox.com) Microsoft said *Subnautica* is playable through Sunday, April 12 for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members. *Project Motor Racing* and *One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4* are available through the same date as “Free Play Days for All,” which does not require a Game Pass membership. (news.xbox.com) *Graveyard Keeper* runs on a different clock. Xbox Wire said the game is free for all Xbox users to keep if they claim it between April 9 at 9 a.m. Pacific Time and April 13 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. (news.xbox.com) Free Play Days is Xbox’s recurring weekend promotion that opens selected games for a short trial period. This week’s lineup splits into three access tiers: one Game Pass-only trial, two trials open to all Xbox members, and one game that becomes permanent if it is claimed before the deadline. (news.xbox.com) That distinction matters because Game Pass access and ownership are not the same thing on Xbox. Xbox Support says players lose access to a title when it leaves the Game Pass library or when their subscription ends, unless they buy the game. (support.xbox.com) Microsoft has also changed the names of several Game Pass plans. Xbox Support says Game Pass now includes Essential, Premium, Ultimate, and PC Game Pass, with Essential and Premium replacing the older Core and Standard names. (support.xbox.com) For players deciding whether to claim or buy, the base Xbox Store listing prices *Graveyard Keeper* at $19.99 and labels the current offer as “Free+.” The store page lists support for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Cloud Gaming. (xbox.com) The practical deadline is simple: the three weekend trials end on Sunday, April 12, and *Graveyard Keeper* stays claimable until Monday, April 13 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. (news.xbox.com)
