Here we go again! This weekend is packed with another bunch of excellent Xbox offerings, including three Xbox Live Free Play Days titles, over 150 deals available as part of this week's Xbox Live sale, and a major new Xbox Game Pass title in the form of Minecraft Dungeons. Here's what we're playing over the next couple of days:

I haven't had much time to play anything this week, so I'm really looking forward to putting some time into new Xbox Game Pass addition Minecraft Dungeons over the next few days. I'm not the biggest Minecraft fan in general, but I've enjoyed what I've played of this one so far.
Another Xbox Game Pass title I'm eager to check out this weekend is RiME. I started playing it very briefly earlier this week for our Xbox Game Pass Quests guide, and I was surprised just how engrossed I quickly became with its chilled vibe and striking art style. I love it when Xbox Game Pass uncovers some gems!

I've been chipping away at Minecraft: Dungeons since it was released earlier this week, so this weekend I guess I'll be continuing my dungeon-crawling adventures. After an entire playthrough from start to finish - I'm definitely keen to jump back in and grind for more loot on a higher difficulty with some friends.
Apart from this, I'll also be revisiting Mortal Kombat 11 to try out the new Aftermath DLC. As expensive as it is, I'm eager to find out what happens after the abrupt ending in the base game's story mode. That's likely it for me over the next few days - have fun everyone!

The weekend is here, and as long as you're carrying a pelican and hopping on one leg, you can go outside and enjoy the sunshine, if I understand the UK government's advice correctly.
My pelican flew away, though. So, rather than risk getting locked up for breaking the rules, I'm going to carry on being strangely addicted to the Xbox Game Pass-provided Slay the Spire. I'm not one for card games that don't involve a straight flush or two usually, but this one has me hooked.
The arrival of an absolute bargain still-in-the-infuriating-vacuum-packaging Thrustmaster wireless PS2 controller from my good friend Mr E. Bay Seller will have me eyeing up a few retro titles as well. I fancy it might be time to play through Burnout Dominator which, up to this point, has unforgivably gotten past me.
Which Xbox games will you be playing this weekend? Let us know in the comments.

Days Gone for me. Dialogue and characters are so bad it's funny. Environments look fantastic though, so far it's all quite enjoyable albeit very formulaic.
Minecraft Dungeons with the youngins, also getting back into The Crew 2 after a long while off they've made some big changes to it.
I've started Halo: Combat Evolved, with an eventual goal to replay every mainline Halo game before Infinite launches.
Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition (Switch) - Just starting out in Fyrestone.
Fallout 3 (Games For Windows) - Might be a bad idea to play two open world games at the same time...
Monster Burner (Windows Phone) - Still plugging away at this.
I started playing South Park The Stick Of Truth, It's actually a pretty good relaxing game to just sit back and play..
@Olliemar28 I have the same goal! Just hoping I can find the time...
@Bmartin001 If you like that one, I personally think The Fractured But Whole is even better
Gears 5 and Halo 5 multiplayer. I've also started playing Final Fantasy 15 on GamePass. I'm on chapter 3, and it's an interesting game so far. I like the characters a lot, but the combat is a little clunky and the story isn't really there. I'll keep on playing though. I have never really played much of the series before, and now that they're all coming to GamePass I'd like to give them all a try at least. Have a great weekend everyone!
@FraserG Thanks for the recommendation, I currently own 2 of them physical i think i might go B2B on South Park this week..
Might try to get with a friend and get on the Capcom Beat em Up Bundle.
Will continue playing Red Dead Redemption on its 10 year anniversary month. I will revisit Okami HD and Contra Collection Anniversary and then Shadow of Mordor.
Will check in later with Animal Crossing New Horizons when Kk Slider starts his performances 😃
Minecraft Dungeons all weekend long.
Xbox One — Minecraft Dungeons
Analogue Mega SG — Various Genesis games
I finished up Ori Will of the Wisps this week which was really great. I was a bit underwhelmed at first since it seemed like the first one a bit too much but once I headed for wisps it started to feel like it’s own game.
I started playing Minecraft Dungeons this weekend which is a lot of fun! I never liked how dark Diablo is so this is perfect for me.
Also played a few matches of Golf With Your Friends- also so much fun!
Happy gaming everyone!
@Grot Just hearing the mention of that type of chore makes me so grateful I live in an apartment! I used to help my father do that around the house as a kid and even together it was usually a whole weekend of work. And that's not even counting the flower gardens my mother took care of. Not to mention watering the lawn and 3 times a week mowing and trimming...
