What a week it's been for Xbox, eh?! Even though the Xbox Games Showcase has come and gone, there's still lots to discover this weekend including a couple of recent Xbox Game Pass releases, three Free Play Days titles and a massive free demo event featuring over 70 playable games! Here's what we're playing over the next couple of days:

It's been a busy, busy week - but now it's time to get back to playing some games! The main goal on my mind over the next couple of days is to finally check out the free Summer Game Fest Demo event, which ends on Monday. I definitely want to download the Destroy all Humans demo ahead of the game's release next week, and there are some intriguing indie titles I'm looking forward to trying as well.
If you've added me on Xbox, you might have noticed that I've also been slowly hacking away at Halo 2 Anniversary's campaign again over the past week, so I'm hoping to get that finished. And finally, I might check out reverse horror game Carrion, which was added to Xbox Game Pass on Thursday.
Have a good one, folks!

The gameplay reveal of Halo Infinite at Microsoft's Xbox Games Showcase has finally pushed me over the edge. Starting this weekend, I'm going to play through every single one of Halo's campaigns again. I've experienced all of them over the years, but I think it's time for a refresher course. At this point, I'm honestly struggling to remember a lot of the finer details about this series' expansive universe - so with Infinite just on the horizon, now seems like the perfect time to replay 'em. Of course, that's assuming I can keep myself away from the multiplayer!
The other game I'm wanting to return to is Fable 2, courtesy of Xbox Game Pass. Earlier this year, I replayed Fable Anniversary, so now that the new Fable has been officially confirmed, I need to knock over the second and third game. I think that's more than enough to keep me entertained this weekend - happy gaming, everyone!
Which Xbox games will you be playing this weekend? Let us know in the comments.

Keep getting get lost in Carrion with no map, but still having fun. Hopefully I finish it. Also playing Ghost on the other box and maybe I'll try and play catch up on Destiny 2 this weekend.
Carrion here too, in-between exploring in n No Man's Sky. Might try a couple of the demos I downloaded too
On Xbox I’ll be playing F1 2020, Shadow Warrior 2 (Game pass), and will be starting Mortal Kombat 11 after snapping it up in the sale this week. On PS4 I’m hoping to finish The Last of Us 2, which does seem to be dragging on a bit. Also some Ghost of Tsushima.
Not much as I'm moving house on Monday so everythings packed up apart from the PS4 and as I've just finished Ghost of Tsushima that's going away too. I'm going to try The Messenger when I get everything setup at my new place and I'll finally have a games room of sorts
I have no bloody idea frankly so much stuff to play I have gone indecisive.
Im going to put it to the community pick for me from the below!
Fable 3
Xenoblade Chronicles
Gears 5
Ghosts of Tsushima
Last of Us 2
Sunset Overdrive
Managed to narrow it down to those 😁
Fallout 3 (Games For Windows) - Finally finishing up the last bit of DLC.
Angry Birds (Windows Phone) - Just started the other day.
Uno & Friends (Windows Phone) - A time waster like Angry Birds.
Going to start the Halo 2 campaign on the Masterchief Collection
@Jaxx420 The last of Us 2 was one of my favorite games this year but it takes an investment in time. Gears 5 is really good if you just want a good looking summer blockbuster action game to plow through. So......Last of Us if you want story, Gears if you want some mindless fun action.
I am playing the Outer Worlds myself! A grand time, and an excellent Xbox game Pass addition.
I am playing Forza Horizon 3.
Need to play some Nba 2k20 Park games today late in the evening. With small kids at home that's the only time for gaming 🙂
@Mckilmer I am a few hours into all of them at the mo just not sure which one to pick back up this weekend in a massively indecisive mood at the minute hate that lol
@Grot I have just installed that. Have you started it? Keen to hear first impressions outside of gaming sites.
@KelticDevil What is your favourite Forza Horizon out of the 4?
@Dpullam The Outer Worlds was an awesome game to me! Definitely a great Gamepass addition! I’m excited about the incoming dlc so I can jump back on.
@Jaxx420 That's why I usually play 3 games at once. A bigger game, an indie game, and a games as a service game at the same time. I swap out as I beat missions so im never away from any game too long and im always making progress.
@Grot It is the first Paper Mario I have ever purchased so not sure what to expect.
I’ve since played through Deliver Us the Moon and The Wolf Among Us this past week so I’m a bit in between games right now. I started up Westerado: Double Barreled via Gamepass but I think I want something more involved. It’s probably a good time to try out the new demos I’ve installed lol.
So I suppose I’ll be putting some time into Paper Mario while I figure out my next Xbox adventure. I was thinking maybe trying out Halo or starting the Star Wars Fallen Jedi. Should I just start with the 1st Halo game?
Well thanks for asking Pure Xbox! I will be playing Halo REACH tonight, I have finally obtained the perfect look for my Noble 6, and shall undertake the defence of the planet in bright tangerine.
Tomorrow I'm hopping on my jet engine to play Wildlands with a mate in co-op. I hear Narco Road is crap but hey we want the 100% completion after getting the platinum trophy. Will be having my One X install Mass Effect 3 while that's going on. (BC is awesome).
@Jaxx420
I haven’t played 4 yet. I’m working on 3 now. But the series has been better as it has gone on for me. It’s the best racing series out there, in my opinion. 👍🏻
Playing Halo: Combat Evolved on the Master Cheif Collection...
I'm almost done with Carrion; what a great little game! After that, it's back to my run through of the Halo franchise.
Paper Mario, Spyro 2 and going to start Halo Reach
The Bards Tale ARPG Remastered. Game showing off it’s age, but still find it hilarious. Wish they made a new one, nor a sequel, but just new one. Would hate anyone skipping on a sequel because it had a “2” at the end.
Minecraft, Half-Life Alyx, and maybe some Halo/Portal 2/Unreal Tournament 3 if friends are interested.
With State of Decay 3 announcement, I’ve visited part 2. It’s a really fun game, and I genuinely have no idea why I’ve left it so long!
