The weekend is here once again! We're still busy ploughing away at Elden Ring over the next couple of days, but we've also got a few new Xbox Game Pass titles to try, another batch of Free Play Days additions, and a large set of Xbox deals to take advantage of. To be honest, we're spoilt for choice with games at the moment!

Well, I'm taking a mini break from my job at Pure Xbox for the next week, so while I kick back and relax a little bit, I plan to spend plenty of time playing some games! The first one I'm hoping to try is Elden Ring. Sure, it's not typically my type of game (I've barely touched Dark Souls), but the intrigue has got to me, so let's see how it goes...
As for what else, I might be playing a couple of games I'm not allowed to talk about just yet, so those will certainly be keeping me busy, and I definitely would like to check out FAR: Changing Tides, which just launched on Xbox Game Pass a few days ago. The reviews have been great, so it's on my to-do list for the weekend if possible.
See you in a week, folks! Have a good one!

This weekend I'll be spending more time luxuriating in the wonders of Elden Ring, by which I mean getting absolutely battered into bits by the boss I'm currently trying to hold peace talks with. It's taking all my time up so far, this one, but it's hard to complain when it's probably the very best game Fromsoftware have served up so far.
Elsewhere, and if I can somehow eke out the time, I'll most likely also spend a part of my weekend getting to grips with some slick racing action in the other big game that's just released on another gaming platform.
Have a good weekend whatever you're up to or playing!

I dusted off my PS4 Pro as my will power broke and I purchased Gran Turismo 7. You know what it's actually quite good and holds up pretty well on a pro. It's also a fun driving experience which is the important bit.
Not leaving my series X though and will be continuing my zombie mashing adventures in Dying Light 2 as well
Playing tokyo mirage session #FE encore on the switch after I dropped the wiiU version about 3 years ago.
Also some races in forza horizon 5 on the XSX.
Beat bravely default on the 3ds yesterday and it was absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to play bravely second and bravely default 2.
No ps5 this weekend.
Been playing Elden Ring for last week or so but since Thursday all i’ve played is Gran Turismo 7!!
Plenty of Horizon Forbidden West on my PS5 as usual. May continue The Artful Escape on my Series X for a little bit of a change of pace.
Probably won't be able to make much progress on Horizon FW, even though I'm pretty close to the end and would love to finish it, but at least I'll still have time for some Sea of Thieves with the guys tonight.
Lords of the Fallen on Series X! Souls like game without the annoying difficulty 🙂
Sekiro, beat the endings and 3 trophies away from the plat. Horizon Forbidden West and Dying Light 2
I’m still chugging away at Horizon Forbidden West, I’m about halfway through it.
PS5; Horizon Forbidden West and Gran Turismo 7
XSX; Grid Legends, Shadow Warrior 3 and OlliOlli World.
Mahjong by Microsoft (Android) - Dailies and challenge packs as always.
Dragon Mania Legends (Windows Phone) - Still playing this in bursts.
Ridiculous Marathon (Windows Phone) - Stopped playing and need to get back to it to finish it off.
XSX: Elden Ring and GRID Legends
PS5: GT7 (and maybe a little of Shadow Warrior 3)
More Dying Light 2, and that new Kirby demo on the Switch.
I platted Horizon Forbidden West the other day so now it's back to New Game Plus of Ghost of Tsushima on PS5.
I started another playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 to see if I'll enjoy it more this time around on my Series S.
I'll also probably play some Fire Emblem Three Houses (5th playthrough) on the Switch.
Have a good weekend everybody!
I've got so much to play but I'm so deep into Dark Souls 2 that I can't really see myself starting Horizon or Elden Ring until I've finished it off. Most of the base game is clear so just making my way through the DLC this weekend before finally polishing it off in the week
Away from home so making the most of Cloud gaming and just doing the current season on Forza Horizon 5.
The stunt park they've added in the stadium is rather fun actually.
Too many! Elden Ring, LEGO DC Super Villians, and Wolf Among Us are my top priorities.
@PapaGlitch Hell yeah Dark Souls 2!!! Underrated gem. Easily my favorite of them all ❤️
Elden Ring and maybe Triangle Strategy if I decide to pony up another 60. Other than those probably watching tv, maybe continuing through Battlefield Bad Company campaign
Elden ring has all my time and i’m absolutely loving it. Triangle Strategy waiting for me on the side but don’t think i’ll get round to it just yet.
supraland
just that
Have been playing cyberpunk. Got a few endings yesterday but I am still doing a few gigs and Police side quests while buying cars. Don't see myself clearing the whole map but let's see.
Then I will start the forgotten city as part of the club
@darkswabber I got lost in the fourth idolasphere in TMS and dropped the game. I need to get back to it. I really like the combat and the game was fun.
I enjoy playing on switch a lot more than WiiU. The novelty of using the gamepad to get texts wore off really quickly there, especially since I preferred using a pro controller.
Not played anything at all since Thursday morning other tha Gran Turismo 7!! The best driving game to date!!!
