This offer is part of Microsoft's "Free Play Days" promotion. It's not the first time Madden NFL 16 has been included in the promotion, as it--along with NBA 2K16--was also free for a weekend back in 2015.

In other news about Madden NFL 16, Microsoft has discounted the game to $20 across Xbox One and Xbox 360. Additionally, the professional football game is free for EA Access members on Xbox One.

You can find the free Madden NFL 16 promotion in the Gold Member area of the Xbox dashboard. The start of this promotion coincides with the 2016 NFL Draft, which began Thursday night and continues this weekend.
