Welcome to the weekend! We're spoilt for choice again on Xbox over the next few days, with loads of new Xbox Game Pass additions including No Man's Sky and two Kingdom Hearts collections, while Xbox Live Free Play Days and the massive Deals Unlocked Sale are ongoing as well. Here's what we're playing over the next couple of days:

Three simple words - No Man's Sky. I've never played it before, but now that it's part of Xbox Game Pass I'm definitely going to try it out. Another recent Xbox Game Pass addition I'll be diving into is Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix, as while I've really enjoyed Kingdom Hearts III so far, the story has left me more than a little bit confused. Time to go back to the start and see how it all began!
That's probably about it for this weekend, although last night I was having some great online games with random players on Golf with your Friends. I know that sort of defeats the purpose of the game's title, but I might just dip into a few more of these over the next couple of days. Have a good one, folks!

I've taken advantage of the current Xbox sale by purchasing a digital copy of Burnout Paradise Remastered. I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't really play the original version when it was released in 2008. It's rather odd because I played Burnout 1-3 and even Criterion's take on Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit but somehow ended up skipping the main course. So, this weekend I'll finally be burning some rubber in Paradise City.
One other game I'd like to investigate is Dead by Daylight (it also happens to be part of this weekend's Free Play Days). Ever since the Silent Hill DLC was teased I've been looking at it - so hopefully I can build up the courage to try it out over the next few days. That's all for me this weekend.
Which Xbox games will you be playing this weekend? Let us know in the comments.

Original Splatoon on Wii U to see if the online is still going strong, hopefully I can get in a few games... Also No Man's Sky as it's now on Gamepass and Soul Calibur VI as it's on Free Play Days this weekend...
@Grot That sounds hopeful then, just started playing and have played 3 matches in quick succession without hitch so all good... I haven't played Rocket League in a while, that's an idea, happy gaming!!
I preordered Outer Worlds on Switch but after all the reviews I think I’m going to send it back and play it on Gamepass. It’s just easier to get through games playing handheld for some reason 🤷🏻♀️ So I’ll be starting that up.
Also continue with Minecraft Dungeons- I finished the game on default and am having a hard time playing on adventure mode 😅 I don’t find this game easy!
Happy gaming all!
I'll be finally putting some into Quantum Break, a game that I have wanted to play for a very long time. I'm also hooked on Destiny 2 right now, so definitely more of that. Have a great weekend everyone!
I’m playing Forza Horizon 2 and loving it.
Dirt rally 2.0 and still replaying TLOU on PS4. After resisted the Witcher 3 I finally bought it last week, just to see what I thought. I was really surprised that I could feel it drawing me in. So another game I look forward to playing in my backlog which is borderline ginormous at this stage.
Just finished Resident Evil 3 for a second time and unlocked the Infinite ammo assault rifle so now onto Doom Eternal and Control. Early days in both, I'm enjoying Doom Eternal but it always feels like you're on the edge of dying or running out of ammo and at times I feel I'm babysitting meters rather than taking down demons. Control is just plain weird but great so far.
Also added No Man's Sky and there is nothing like the feeling of just gathering resources and taking off into the sky and flying into space, eventually the illusion shatters and you realise there is nothing unique about any of the worlds but it's fun while it lasts
Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition (Switch) - Resuming after my brother had borrowed my Switch.
Star Wars Battlefront II (PSP) - Been hankering to play this again, so I've been playing tons of Instant Action on all kinds of different locations.
Fallout 3 (Games For Windows) - Almost halfway now I feel , still having a blast.
Monster Burner (Windows Phone) - Nearing the end thank goodness.
Currently playing Lego Marvel Super Heroes, Also going to be playing some Clubhouse 51 Games..
Dead Space & No mans sky
Sunset Riders (Switch) Loved this game as a kid in the arcades so I had to buy it.
NSMBU Deluxe (Switch) Never got around to playing it on Wii U so looking forward to it as I love 2D Mario games
Lego DC Villains (Xbox One) Picked this one up from the sale. I am enjoying it alot.
Various Genesis games (Analogue Mega SG) Says it all various Genesis games from my collection.
I thought I'd give Jurassic World: Evolution a go, and it's pretty fun! Nice game to chill out to.
Unexpectedly, I spent my Saturday evening beating Crash Bandicoot 1 in the N. Sane Trilogy. Once "The High Road" was out of the way, I felt like I had to finish it!
Hi guys ! First post, recently picked up an One X and so impressed with it, had a 360 back in the day and switched to a PS4 but felt the urge to switch back again
Anyway, GamePass is fantastic, but I’m struggling guys I need some advice. I made the mistake of getting download happy and ended up playing 10 minutes of 12 games and not getting anywhere in any ! Any tips for staying focused ?
Currently playing the Euro 2020 add on for PES. Playing as Hungary on SuperStar difficulty, so far haven’t made it past the group stage but that’s the challenge !
Also picked up Destiny: The Taken King to get a feel for how it plays and try pick up some of the backstory. I know I’m several years to late but enjoying that too. Only playing up to a point where I feel I’ve got enough of a handle on it to move onto Destiny 2. Hopefully can jump into it with a few of you guys when the time comes !
What else ... well a few stuff, got Kingdom Come Deliverance installed and may give that a go.
Forza Horizon 4 also came with the bundle I bought, and maaaan. What a disappointment, first couple of hours I loved it, absolutely loved it, looked fantastic, so many events, handled well ... and then ... I realised it doesn’t actually matter where you finish in the races, it’s more about the experience rather than the competitiveness and I dunno, I just lost all enthusiasm for it after that
ANYWAY !! I’ve rambled on a bit but looking forward to chatting with you all
@Tothington91 Welcome! I've also been playing the Euro 2020 add-on for PES... won it with Wales the other day, but really struggled during the group stage.
