As is often the case with free weekends, Xbox One players will need Xbox Live Gold to be able to play. The same goes for the sale, which is only available to Gold members. You do not require PS Plus to do the same on PS4.

On PC, the free weekend as well as the sale will be available on Uplay and Steam. The sale ends Monday, April 23 on all platforms.

As always, since you're downloading the full game, any progress you make will carry over on the same platform if you do buy the game afterwards.
