Xbox Live Free Games: Play 'NBA 2K17,' 'Rocket League' During Promo This Weekend

Microsoft’s latest Multiplayer All Access event features titles that most gamers are likely familiar with. The publisher announced Thursday that NBA 2K17 and Rocket League will be free to play online from Feb. 16 - 19.

During the event, all Xbox Live members will be able to play both games online for free without needing a paid subscription. Microsoft’s Multiplayer All Access events have featured a variety of titles like Borderlands Collections in the past.

For the All Access promotion period, you don’t even need to own each game. As Microsoft’s Major Nelson points out, both titles will be available for free to download on Xbox Live during the event. But considering the difference in file size — NBA 2K17 clocks in at 52.1 GB, while Rocket League is a relatively modest 5.5GB — you might want to start your download now if you have a slower internet connection.

If you don’t already own either game, you can also save a bit on each title. NBA 2K17 will be available to purchase for $39, while Rocket League will be available to Xbox Live Gold members for only $15.

For gamers, both titles feature strong multiplayer options and modes. Rocket League revolves around using tiny cars to launch a ball into a soccer-like goal and outscore opponents. NBA 2K17 , which will be part of an eSports league run by the NBA in 2018, features official NBA teams and deep oncourt gameplay.
