News: Microsoft has teamed up with 2K Sports to bring a free weekend full of basketball to Xbox One owners with an Xbox Live Gold membership.

If you happen to be an NBA fan then you are in luck. Microsoft has revealed that all Xbox Live Gold members will be able to play NBA 2K16 for free this weekend. This “weekend” will begin on Friday at 9am Pacific (November 20) through 11:59pm Pacific on Sunday, November 22. You will be able to play the entire game for free all weekend on Xbox One and the game will also be on sale all week as part of Microsoft’s Black Friday promotion in case you enjoy the game so much that you decide you want to buy it.

During Microsoft’s Black Friday weekly sale, you will have the option to purchase the game online from the Xbox Store at a discount and keep playing. Everything that you do during this free weekend will transfer over if you do indeed decide to buy the game. You will also be able to earn gamerscore and achievements over the weekend and play on Xbox Live against friends who have NBA 2K16.

On Friday morning you can download NBA 2K16 by clicking on the Gold Member area on the home dashboard or simply by searching for it in the Xbox Store and downloading it like you would any other game. Will you be taking advantage of this free weekend? Tell us what you think below.
