It's been a busy week for Xbox! We've seen a lot of Xbox Series X news dropping over the past few days, but now it's time to get back to playing some Xbox One games. We're spoilt for choice this weekend with some major new Xbox Game Pass additions, four Free Play Days titles, lots of great Xbox Live sales and much more. Here's what we're playing over the next couple of days:

Red Dead Redemption 2 was added to Xbox Game Pass earlier this week, and while I actually already own it, I've had issues getting it to work because of a semi-broken disc drive. I'll definitely be spending some more time with the game this weekend as a result, and I've never actually dipped into Red Dead Online, so I might take my first steps into that massive world as well.
Elsewhere, I'm still working on Deliver Us The Moon on Xbox Game Pass, which is becoming one of my favourite games in recent memory, and I'm also making more progress in Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled. And of course, I'll still be playing my favourite footie game in eFootball PES 2020 throughout the weekend. Have a good one, folks!

I know I'm a little late, but this weekend I'll be celebrating May 4th in Star Wars Battlefront 2. It's been a while since I last played, so it was a surprise to see the inclusion of new heroes like BB-8 and villains like BB-9E and General Grievous. I'm also looking forward to trying out its final update and wielding Rey's yellow lightsaber.
When I'm not on the frontlines, I'll probably be checking out the new content that's been added to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Following the reveal of key art for the LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga earlier this week, I've now also got a strong desire to revisit some of the older entries in the series - so yes, even more, Star Wars for me over the next few days. May the Force be with you!
Which Xbox games will you be playing this weekend? Let us know in the comments.

I've jumped back into Assassin's Creed: Origins (aka the best one), but I do also plan on downloading Red Dead Redemption 2 and seeing what it looks like on the One X!
XO - Streets of Rage 1, 2 & 3 on the Genesis Classics collection
Switch - Street of Rage 4
Still chugging along in Rise of the Tomb Raider.. Just picked up the season pass for it 🙂. Finished the Blood Ties dlc now working on Baba Yaga dlc. My wife just recently discovered Viva Piñata on gamepass so I’ve been having to share my Xbox 😅
Happy gaming everyone!
@Mamabear Viva Pinata is one of the very few games my wife enjoys watching too Great game.
I've just started playing Evil Within 2, which I held off at the time because it didn't seem as interesting as the first one, but boy was I wrong about that! Six hours in and still only on the third mission because I'm scouring every nook and cranny, which is something I only very rarely do.
Red Dead 2 is so much more compelling than I expected going in, so it’s got its hooks in me real good. I doubt I’ll lasso enough time to play anything else this weekend. What a stunner!
I already had it so won't be dipping back into Red Dead quite yet. I absolutely recommend it to anyone that's yet to experience it though, especially on the Xbox One X if you've got one. Aside from a top-end PC, it's the best version of the game by far and honestly I think it completely blows the PS4 Pro and Stadia versions out of the water graphics wise. It's a beautiful game regardless, but yeah, it's something special here.
I'm playing some Need For Speed Heat, Also still playing Animal Crossing New Horizons
On the Xbox side: Streets of Rage 4, Ninja Gaiden II, Yakuza 0.
Having only relatively recently picked up a One X I'm still playing the main games, Gears 5, Forza Horizon 4 and Streets of Rage 4 via Gamepass for me, oh and Snake Pass as I just picked it up in the sale....
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes (Vita) - Finally teamed up with Superman, nearing the end now.
Fallout 3 (Games For Windows) - Still just looking around and doing random side missions, I don't forsee beating this anytime soon.
