Some of the titles on this list are not available in every region. A few others are Lite versions, which contain less modes or content than the regular releases. Some, like NBA 2K The Prelude, are a small preview of what’s coming for the game. The Prelude is often released before the full game. This allows players to get started on their career and be somewhat ahead when the full game launches.
The list also contains some of the most popular battle royale games such as Fortnite and Apex Legends. Both are often in the top downloaded free to play games for that month.

The Xbox list is much smaller but there is still some good games to check out. Killer Instinct is worth playing if you’re really into fighting games. Another game worth playing is Rocket League, the vehicular soccer game was released many years ago. But the title became free-to-play last year. The introduction of the free-to-play version came with tons of rewards for players who were there before and also debuted new content. Rocket League features a battle pass system, similar to the battle royale games and other free-to-play titles on the two lists.
