Halo 5 free to play this weekend with Xbox Live Gold

You can give Halo 5: Guardians a try for free this weekend if you’ve got Xbox Live Gold.

The last main game in the series is available for Gold members running from now until Sunday, Jan 14.

Players have access to playing both Solo and Co-op, though we’d highly recommend jumping on with a friend or two if possible for the title’s less inspired campaign.

The full multiplayer suite is also available, letting players try out the 24-player Warzone mode.

If you take a liking to the Chief’s latest outing, Halo 5: Guardians is 20% off for the duration of the free weekend, and any progress you make in the trial will be carried over should you cough up the cash.
