According to Windows Central, only the base game will be available for free during the weekend. The DLCs will not be included. However, players will still get to experience the game's single-player and multiplayer War Stories.
"Battlefield 1" is set directly after the first World War. Xbox Wire editor Mike Nelson said that gamers will enjoy seeing the storyline play out through the perspectives of the soldiers battered by war.
"The acclaimed Battlefield 1 is multiplayer warfare on an epic scale. In the global conflicts of the Great War, you'll experience all sides of World War I: from cavalry and brutal melee weapons, to the first tanks ever invented. No battle is ever the same and behemoths like airships or armored trains can turn the tide of a match," Nelson said on Xbox.com.
"Battlefield 1" is currently playable on the PS4, Xbox One and PC.
