@chatmin It's just a free access period till November 20th but no, you won't be able to permanently keep the game for free this way.

@EA_Vendcera Hi Vendcera, Its is November 16, 2023 in my timezone (Pacific Standard Time), I am still not getting an option to download and play the game for free on Xbox console.Can you verify and let me know if the game is made available for free or do I have to wait bit longer.Also if possible, can you post the steps or any instructions that I must follow to download the game on Xbox console?P.s I went to the link https://www.ea.com/games/f1/f1-23/las-vegas-showrunand clicked on Xbox. It just say buy for 43 USD.I appreciate your help.Thank you.

That's great for everyone who cant afford or haven't tried the game yet!But there are some major issues in this game still @EA_Vendcera and since you can communicate with codemaster for us, here they are:1. Lobbies reset after every race, drivers have to pick their cars again and host have to remove current track to get the next track (This happens after every race). This has being going on for months now. And we don't have any mentions from codemaster about this.2. The servers are extremely unstable (steam platform), people still gets disconnected for no reason and game crashes more than any other game i have played.3. Last (which is not an issue itself but i will mention it anyway) but not least. As HOST i should be able to mass kick people. Each kick take about 60 seconds. Yeah and btw, forgot to mention cheating. Its getting pretty embarrassing atm.Thank you for staying in touch with us. But would be nice to get some actual feedback about this.

Hey @alexstavik, yeah, I'm sure this will be good for new players to have a chance of trying out the game. Also, a great opportunity to convince some friends! I appreciate the feedback, and we do constantly forward stuff to the Codemasters team. However, this really isn't the place for it. Please use the search function if a recent thread about these topics already exists, and if not create a new one. In terms of any issues with the game, creating a bug report with as much detailed information as possible would be the most helpful.-Vendcera

Finally, the correct retail price for this dumpster fire.

Play F1® 23 for free this weekend on all platforms!

@EA_Vendcera Hi Vendcera, Its is November 16, 2023 in my timezone (Pacific Standard Time), I am still not getting an option to download and play the game for free on Xbox console.
Can you verify and let me know if the game is made available for free or do I have to wait bit longer.
Also if possible, can you post the steps or any instructions that I must follow to download the game on Xbox console?
P.s I went to the link https://www.ea.com/games/f1/f1-23/las-vegas-showrun
and clicked on Xbox. It just say buy for 43 USD.

I appreciate your help.
Thank you.

People are already asking about "how to" via Steam.
They're a bit wary of £23.99 in the cart.

It will still eat space on your storage until you uninstall.
