For something other than a shooter
Xbox groups free-to-play titles across action adventure, fighting, strategy, family, racing, role-playing, shooter, and sports categories. Its catalog includes titles such as eFootball and Asphalt Legends. The catalog is a way to find candidates, not a quality ranking: a “most-played” label or placement does not tell you whether a game suits your preferences. Browse the Xbox free-to-play catalog by genre.

Xbox says players can access online multiplayer for free-to-play games on Xbox consoles at no charge, and identifies Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One as supported families. Its catalog says: “All XBOX players are able to access online multiplayer for free-to-play games on their console at no charge.” Xbox free-to-play games
That means you do not need to buy the game to start playing its free-to-play listing; it does not mean every optional item or add-on is free. The Warzone and Marvel Rivals listings disclose in-game purchases. Warzone’s Xbox Store page specifically says a Game Pass Core subscription is not required to play that game. Warzone on Xbox Store
