Ubisoft is making Watch Dogs: Legion free over the weekend, the French developer announced today. Players will be able to try out the game for several days, but they won't get to keep it. Still, Watch Dogs: Legion can be played for free from March 25 to March 29 on all platforms, including PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. Those considering the free trial should be able to pre-load beginning tomorrow March 24.

There will be some restrictions, as players will only be able to discover the game's storyline up to the Skye Larsen mission. Other than that, there don't seem to be any locked content, as Ubisoft confirmed every character in near-future London will be available to recruit and play as during the Free Trial Weekend in both single-player and online modes.

Also, players will be able to check out all of the open-world activities such as playing darts at the local pub and participating in bare-knuckle fights, as well as explore half of the eight boroughs including the City of London and Islington & Hackney.

Players who really liked the game and want to continue the story will get to keep their game progression and enjoy discounts on Watch Dogs: Legion and the season pass across select platforms.

So, for Xbox players, the Standard and Ultimate editions of the game will be half off between March 23 and April 15. PlayStation players will get a 50% discount on the Standard and Ultimate editions, as well as a 25% discount on the Season Pass.

As far as PC players go, regardless of where you plan to get the game (Ubisoft Store, Epic Games Store, Google Stadia), the Standard, Gold and Ultimate editions will be half off, while the Season Pass will be 25% off.
