Xbox owners have plenty to look forward to throughout the year in terms of new games to enjoy, while those that are looking for an access to hop online and join in on the fun do so for free this weekend, with an added bonus.

Microsoft has announced that a Multiplayer All-Access Weekend is kicking off this weekend, with the event offering free multiplayer access to Xbox One and Xbox 360 owners from today through May 21st, 2017.

In addition to the free multiplayer access, Microsoft is also adding an extra bonus on top of the event by also providing free access to Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, allowing all Xbox One owners the chance to dive in and experience the game for free during the multiplayer weekend.
