10 Free-To-Play MMOs You Can Play On Your New Xbox ROG Ally

The new Xbox ROG Ally arrives on October 16, bringing handheld convenience to a device that’s essentially a full-fledged Windows 11 PC. Because it’s tied into the Xbox ecosystem, you’ll be able to jump into MMOs anytime, anywhere — as long as your internet connection holds up. Here’s a list of free-to-play MMOs available on Xbox that you can enjoy on your ROG Ally next month.

1. Palia

Palia is often called a “cozy MMO.” Instead of endless grinding, the focus is on community, crafting, farming, and building friendships. You’ll spend your time fishing, cooking, decorating your home, and exploring a vibrant world alongside others. Fans of Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley will feel right at home here.

2. Wizard101

This long-running MMO recently made its way to Xbox in preview form. You play as a student at Ravenwood School of Magical Arts, mastering spells and battling enemies through a card-based, turn-driven combat system. With its bright art style and approachable gameplay, Wizard101 is especially appealing to younger or more casual players.

3. Throne and Liberty

Throne and Liberty brings the full-scale MMORPG experience to Xbox. Expect massive PvP battles, sprawling world events, and in-depth character progression. The game’s dynamic environments — where weather and geography directly affect combat — make it feel alive. If you’re chasing that “big MMO” experience, this is worth checking out.

4. Path of Exile

More action RPG than traditional MMO, Path of Exile has earned a reputation for its complexity. Its massive passive skill tree and intricate customization systems are perfect for hardcore players who want depth. A player-driven economy and seasonal leagues keep content fresh and competitive.

5. DC Universe Online

Step into the DC Comics universe as your own unique hero or villain. This long-running MMO blends comic-inspired storytelling with action combat, raids, and PvP. With years of story episodes and iconic characters, DC Universe Online is a must-play for comic book fans.

6. Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis

This modern reimagining of the classic Phantasy Star Online 2 introduces open-world design, sleek anime visuals, and fast-paced combat. There's deep character customization and regular updates. If you're a weeb, try Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis.

7. Trove

Think of Trove as Minecraft meets MMORPG. It mixes sandbox creativity with dungeon crawling, loot hunts, and class-based progression. Players can explore infinite player-created worlds, switch between unique classes, and construct their own environments. It’s colorful, accessible, and especially fun for casual players.

8. Neverwinter

Based on the Dungeons & Dragons universe, Neverwinter offers classic fantasy adventures with modern action combat. Dive into dungeons, raids, and PvP arenas while exploring rich lore. For tabletop fans, it’s a faithful digital extension of the franchise.

9. TERA

Though its PC servers have shut down, TERA lives on through consoles. Known for its skill-based combat, the game emphasizes dodging, aiming, and precise timing over hotbar rotations. It’s still one of the best action combat systems in the genre.

10. Star Trek Online

Live out your Starfleet dreams in Star Trek Online, where you command your own ship and crew. The game blends space combat with ground missions, letting you chart your career path across years of storylines pulled straight from the shows and films. Fans of the franchise will find plenty to love here.
