'This can't be happening' Xbox fans can't believe 16 games were made free

XBOX has already added 15 free games to the platform this month, but one more has been surprisingly released.

With a total of 16 free games in February alone, it was a great month for Xbox gamers.

Dead Island 2 is now available on Xbox Game Pass

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

It's available for all tiers of the subscription service – except Xbox Game Pass Core – so most subscribers can play for free.

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

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

However, 2023 is known as the best year of gaming ever, and there were plenty of great games trying to grab our attention.

This is why some people may have missed playing Dead Island 2 at launch, but now they have a second chance to play the zombie shooter.

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

“Bitten, infected, but more than just immune: discover 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 now via Xbox Game Pass on their consoles.
