It's a long Easter weekend for some of us, which means more time to play Xbox games! There are lots of new additions to Xbox Game Pass to take advantage of this weekend, as well as six (!) Free Play Days titles for Xbox Live Gold members. Here's what we're playing over the next couple of days:

I haven't been able to play many games at all just recently, although the fiancée and I really enjoyed jumping back into Soulcalibur II the other day. I've also been dipping into a few other Xbox 360 titles via backwards compatibility including Saints Row: The Third, which I'm hoping to spend more time with in anticipation of its upcoming remaster.
I'm expecting we'll jump back into eFootball PES 2020 as usual to continue our co-op Master League this weekend, and I've still got my eye on some Xbox Spring Sale titles such as Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, Gang Beasts and the newly-added Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX.

A week ago, I started playing the anniversary edition of Fable on my Xbox One. Now, a week later, I'm nearly done with it. Yep, since it showed up on Xbox Games With Gold, I've been playing it on a nightly basis. This weekend I intend to finish it off! I've just had a major battle (I won't spoil anything), so I'm nearly there.
Once I'm done, I'll be starting on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. To be honest, I'm actually about three hours into this game already, but I've temporarily put my playthrough on hold to revisit Albion. If I can fit in anything else over the Easter break it'll probably be Sea of Thieves. Let's just say I'm in the mood to sail the sea after discovering cats would be added in the next update.

Xbox Game Pass just keeps delivering the goods, and this weekend I’ll be diving into its latest offering - the excellent Journey to the Savage Planet. I’ve played a few hours of this one already and it’s a banger stuffed full of solid alien blasting and some excellent environmental puzzles. It apparently doesn’t outstay its welcome, so is perfect for blasting through over this long weekend.
I’ll also be continuing to plough through NieR:Automata and generally clearing some space in my current backlog to prepare for the imminent arrival of Gears Tactics which, from what I’ve seen, looks like it could be something pretty special. Have a good weekend, folks, stay safe and stay inside!
Which Xbox games will you be playing this weekend? Let us know in the comments.

I am playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and loving it!
Yoshi's Woolly World (Wii U) - Starting the second world this weekend.
Fallout 3 (Games For Windows) - Really taking my time with this one.
Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles HD (Windows Phone) - Still stuck in the sewers, going to take a decent crack at it this weekend.
@FraserG Nice choice on Soul Calibur II there, that has always been my favorite of the series it just felt so balanced (with the exception of Spawn). Is that backwards compatible on the Xbox One??
As for what I am playing this weekend, I will be playing some Modern Warfare MP and a bit of Bioshock on the Bioshock collection. This is my first time playing Bioshock and I am really enjoying it, the atmosphere especially.
I also have been getting the itch to replay KotoR as well so I might start that too.
Have a safe and wonderful Easter everyone!!!
@Tasuki The Xbox 360 version (Soulcalibur II HD) is backwards compatible, yeah! Runs really well.
I'm tempted to start KotoR as well...
Xbox:
Switch:
@FraserG I forgot that they had that HD remake. I still.have my original disc (for all 3 systems) but dont have room to hook up the old Xbox. Might look into picking up the HD remake.
I am still playing Doom 2016 & enjoying it.
Just a quick update - I've completed Fable Anniversary! Looks like I'll be moving on to the second game sooner than I expected.
Halo 5 and Bloodstained on Xbox. I really wanted to get Bloodstained on switch but it looks so much better on Xbox.
Cat Quest 2 and River City Girls on switch.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions on Wii U.
Xbox one - Resident Evil 2. I want to play Resident Evil 3, but I will have to wait.
Switch - Animal Crossing (probably going to playing this a little bit every week for awhile) and Flashback.
Xbox one: Borderlands game of the year edition
Switch: Animal Crossing new horizons
Nier Automata on Xbox One. And as I still play Mass Effect 3 on PC with friends, maybe couple of hours of that.
I’m playing Rise of the Tomb Raider- I don’t know how I managed to not play Tomb Raider games before now! So great! I’ll also be playing Overcooked 2 with the wife trying to tie up some achievement- takes forever to burn all that coal!
I’ll also be continuing South Park Stick of Truth on Switch- game is hilarious!
Happy gaming!
I've started Control on the ps4 and bar some technical hiccups and a bollocks script I'm quite enjoying it.
Looking to get back into Jedi Fallen Order. Maybe a little more than halfway through? I got stuck on a level that glitched out, so I just took a break from it.
I also just got Mass Effect 2 and 3 from the Spring sale. I somehow missed those the first time around, so really looking forward to getting into those.
Finally, hoping to finish off the Modern Warfare campaign. I like to finish the campaigns before jumping into the multiplayer. I think I'm pretty close to finishing that one up. Have a great and safe weekend everyone!
Need for speed payback and the Pandora music app playing some great synthwave.
@Jslade Are you playing Fallen Order on an original Xbox One/Xbox One S? I found it ran pretty poorly on my OG... lots of glitches and slowdowns, including enemies sometimes failing to load in properly.
FF7R, Division 2,and some Dirt Rally 2.0!
It's the PS1 days all over again... Resident Evil 3 and Final Fantasy VII remakes. Some DOOM Eternal (game of the year so far) to mix things up also.
