Complimentary Play Days – MLB The Show 25, Polterguys: Possession Party, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition, and Blasphemous

Oh, wow. So, picture this: it’s summer, feels like the heat’s trying to hug you till you melt, and Xbox is like, “Hey, chill out with our Free Play Days!” I mean, it’s sort of like opening a fridge and letting the cool air whoosh over you. Random thought: RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is bouncing into the spotlight from July 10 to July 13. You need Xbox Game Pass—one of those membership thingies—to dive in.

And, then there’s MLB The Show 25 and Polterguys: Possession Party, waving hello with no membership needed. Anyone can hop in. Also, there’s this game called Blasphemous, but you only get 2 hours. Funny how timed trials make you feel all rushed.

Now, getting started. You’d think it’s rocket science, but no—it’s just the clicky-click through Xbox.com into the Microsoft Store, where—surprise!—you need to be logged in. For console ninjas, the path is under the Subscriptions tab. Not kidding.

Keeping the good vibes rolling involves snagging games at a discount. Keep your achievements. It’s all very "limited-time-offer," and regions have different stuff going on. Feels like an Easter egg hunt.

Okay, quick spotlight on games:

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition: Build your ultimate amusement park. It’s like playing God but with roller coasters. 25% off if you decide you’re living your best tycoon life.

Polterguys: Possession Party: Imagine being a ghost, stirring chaos with seven others, possessing stuff. It’s multiplayer chaos with some Monster chase thrown in. Whacky powers included.

MLB The Show 25: Baseball adventure from high school to Hall of Fame. There’s a storyline, some famous faces, and lots of clicking buttons. It’s a whole gaming odyssey.

Blasphemous: Dark and eerie, you are the lone survivor in a cursed world. It’s very souls-like, very “am I gonna survive this?” It’s a test of skill and patience.

There you have it—games waiting, offers beckoning, and membership tempting our summer-crazed minds. Play away, and maybe, just maybe, that heat will feel a bit less unbearable.
