Yoku's Island Express is a fantastic game. It's the only game I've 100% multiple times. It made for a great pass-the-controller family game. Everyone should at least play the first 15 minutes to see if it's something they'd enjoy.

That said, it was available on GamePass for a couple years, has been a freebie on other platforms several times, and routinely goes on sale for $2.50 or $5.

Everyone should try Yoku's Island Express. One of my favorite games I've played recently.

Others mentioned these 2 were free, so here's the links:

Joe Danger 2 link: https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/...KX6B5FS9C1

Braid link:https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/...gpbrq3lz7g

Also, Hydro Thunder is indeed a repeat from September 2017 and Yoku's was on Game Pass.

Hydro thunder is linked to the PC version, I don't know if that's the right one

Edit: they're probably giving out this version again https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/...QDH0Z7DV31

Agreed. Arcade racers are delightful. This and Split Second are surely in my top 5 of the GWG program.

That said, it bodes poorly that they are reusing games that were already used back in Sep 2017.

I was hoping for Viva Piñata 1 or 2 but I'll take Party Animals. I never got to try it.
