Xbox One’s Free Weekend Games For Gold Members Are Available Now
Aside from free monthly games, another perk to being an Xbox Live Gold member is having access to Free Play Days, which make certain games free to play throughout a given weekend. Starting today, three games are available to play for free: Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, WWE 2K19, and Dead by Daylight: Special Edition.
It’s perfect timing to play Borderlands: The Handsome Collection–the two games included, Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, just received free Ultra HD texture packs that greatly enhance the graphics on Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, and PC. Plus, Borderlands 3 finally has a confirmed release date and is now available to pre-order.
If you have a Steam account, you can also play Borderlands: The Handsome Collection for free on PC this weekend. You’ll have to go to each game’s individual store page, where you can then play them at no cost.
Then there’s WWE 2K19, which marks the 20th game in the WWE game series. WWE 2K19 introduces minor quality-of-life improvements for in-ring action and, outside the ring, a plethora of new content and game modes, including a story-driven MyCareer mode.
Finally, you can try out the special edition for Dead By Daylight, a multiplayer horror game that pits four players (the “Survivors”) against one other player (the “Killer”) in an eerie environment. The survivors are tasked with repairing five generators in order to escape before the killer can find and take them out.
All three games are free to play until Monday, April 8 at 12 AM PT / 3 AM ET. To download the games on your console, navigate to the Gold member area on your Xbox One dashboard. If you enjoy the games, you can buy them at a discount this weekend and continue playing with all of your progress.
Xbox One free weekend games for Gold members:
- Borderlands: The Handsome Collection — $15
- WWE 2K19 — $19.80
- Dead By Daylight: Special Edition — $15

Fortnite: Where Knife Points On The Treasure Map (Week 6 Challenge Location)
Season 8 of Fortnite rolls on with a new set of challenges to complete across PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch, and mobile. Week 6’s challenges run the gamut from visiting animal-shaped structures to finding the highest elevations on the island, but another one that may throw you for a loop is to search where the knife points on the Treasure Map loading screen. Fortunately, we’ve got you covered.
Much like the similar challenge from Week 4, all you need to do is look where the knife rests on the Treasure Map loading screen (pictured below), then head to that location to find a free Battle Star. What makes this a bit tricky is that the map isn’t labeled, so if you aren’t familiar with the layout of the island, it may not be entirely clear where you need to go, but the Battle Star can be found near Lonely Lodge.
Specifically, the star will appear in the middle of a forest located in-between Lonely Lodge and the racetrack north of Paradise Palms, near the top of quadrant J6. Pick it up like you would any other item, then finish the match and you’ll complete the challenge. If you need more help finding it, you can watch us collect the Battle Star in the video at the top of this guide.
There are still a few weeks remaining in Fortnite Season 8, so you still have time to complete any outstanding challenges from earlier weeks and unlock all the new Battle Pass rewards. If you need help finishing them, you can find tips and guides for all of the trickier tasks in our complete Fortnite Season 8 challenges roundup.
Week 6’s challenges follow shortly after the release of Fortnite’s 8.20 content update, which added another new weapon to the game: the Boom Bow. Unlike typical bows, this one has shotgun shells on its arrow tips which will explode upon impact. On top of that, the update brought back the Sniper Showdown LTM and gave a buff to peppers, one of the new scavenged items recently added to the game.

Fortnite Wooden Rabbit, Stone Pig, And Metal Llama Location Guide (Week 6 Challenge)
Fortnite‘s Week 6’s challenges are now live on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch, and mobile, giving players across all platforms another opportunity to earn Battle Stars and level up their Season 8 Battle Pass. While most of this week’s tasks are fairly straightforward, a couple of them will require a bit more legwork, including the one that asks you to visit a wooden rabbit, stone pick, and metal llama. If you’re not sure where to go, this handy guide will point you in the right direction.
As you can probably gather from the challenge’s name, you’ll need to find the giant, animal-shaped structures somewhere around the island to claim your Battle Stars. This can seem a bit daunting, particularly if you aren’t too familiar with Fortnite’s map. Fortunately, however, you don’t need to visit all three within a single round, so you can simply glide from the Battle Bus to a different animal structure across three matches and complete the challenge.
The wooden rabbit an be found in quadrant A4, on a hill located between Haunted Hills and Snobby Shores. The stone pig, meanwhile, is directly east of Lucky Landing, and the metal llama is just northwest of Junk Junction. We’ve marked their exact locations on the map below. You can also watch the video at the top of this guide to give you a better look at where you need to go.
Once you’ve visited all three of the structures, you’ll earn five Battle Stars, bringing you another step closer to unlock Season 8’s Battle Pass rewards. Most of Week 6’s other challenges are more straightforward, so you should be able to complete them just by playing the game normally. However, you may have trouble knowing where to find the highest elevations on the island, so we’ve put together another guide laying out where they are located.
Week 6’s challenges arrive on the heels of Fortnite’s 8.20 content update, which introduced another new weapon to the game: the Boom Bow. What makes this bow unique is that it has shotgun shells on its arrow tips, making them explode upon impact. The update also brought back the Sniper Showdown limited-time mode and buffed peppers, one of the several scavenged items recently added to the game.
