They say that the best things in life are free. Microsoft
tends to understand this more than most, regularly treating Xbox players to a
handful of games that are temporarily available to play without charge for a
limited time each weekend. The program is called Free Play Days, for those
unaware, and it returns this Friday with a game that’ll have players monkeying
around.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Live Golf subscribers have
a total of three games to play this weekend, but the most notable in SuperMonkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD. Why? Well, not only is it a pretty exceptional
remaster of one of the franchise’s best entries, but it also serves as the
perfect starter course until the recently announced Super Monkey Ball Banana
Mania launches later this year.
Sega’s puzzle-platformer will have you rolling your way
through various colourful stages, collecting bananas and dodging obstacles
while trying to achieve the best score. The Xbox One version (also playable on
Series S|X) features updated visuals, enhanced gameplay and revamped controls,
making this HD-ified iteration of Banana Blitz the preferred way to play. No
monkey business – you can even compete against others in 10 party games. Who
can manoeuvre around with the most grace? This weekend presents the perfect time
to find out!
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD becomes temporarily
available via Free Play Days tomorrow, alongside 3-v-3 multiplayer game For Honor and adventure-filled sandbox The Survivalists. You only need to be a Game
Pass or Gold member to quite literally go bananas, as already mentioned, able
to enjoy something a bit different this weekend.
