Being an Xbox Live Gold member this month will now enable use of NBA 2K16 for free this weekend only.

Running from 9 AM PT Friday, November 20 through 11:59 PM PT Sunday, November 22, this allows Gold members in Xbox One markets to experience the excitement, drama and skills on display in NBA 2K16, including the new 2K Pro-Am game mode with fully customizable tournaments, in its entirety and for free.”
