If you’re looking for a game to play on your Xbox this weekend, you might want to check out Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Microsoft has announced that the open world action role-playing video game will be free to play this weekend for Xbox Live Gold members.

The free play will run from Thursday, July 6 at 12:01 am PDT to Sunday, July 9 at 11:59 pm PDT. During the same period, you can purchase the title for 80% off the regular price. And, if you decide to purchase the game, your saved progress and achievements from the free play will also carry over.

To find the game, all you need to do is to head to the Xbox Store and search for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Once you have downloaded, you can play as much as you want for free up until July 9 at 11:59 pm PDT.

As a reminder, Shadow of Mordor was recently updated with the ability to export your enemies and companions into Shadow of War. This means you will easily be able to enjoy the next installment to the series once it is released on October 10th on Xbox One.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
