If you have plans for the rest of the weekend, you will need to cancel them ASAP. You may have missed the big update from Xbox, but right now, the console is letting players in on three top-tier games for free. In less than 24 hours, Xbox Game Pass is yanking the titles from the program, so players will want to check out the freebies before they're thrust behind a paywall.

Don't say we didn't warn you! Seriously. Don't go there.

Right now, Xbox Game Pass is giving members access to one hit title while all players are able to access the other two games. For a full breakdown of the freebies, you can check out the list below:

Subnautica, Xbox Game Pass Players: "Explore an alien underwater world filled with wonder and danger in Subnautica. After crash-landing on an ocean planet, you’ll collect resources, craft equipment, build underwater bases, and uncover the mysteries lurking beneath the surface. From vibrant coral reefs to dark and treacherous depths, every dive is a chance to discover something new… all while trying to survive."

Project Motor Racing, All Xbox Members: "Race all the legendary brands, iconic classes, eras, and race-bred machines from motorsport’s golden age to today’s fiercest contenders on scanned versions of the world’s most prized tracks. Update 2.0 is the most significant overhaul to Project Motor Racing since launch and introduces a redesigned UI, far improved driving feel, enhanced online systems, and a stronger Career Mode. It’s time to race!"

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4, All Xbox Members: "All aboard, pirates! Battle your way through waves of enemies as your favorite One Piece characters in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4. In search of treasure, play through some of the most extraordinary areas in the One Piece story and take on memorable foes.
