Welcome to the weekend! Admittedly we've got Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X pre-orders on the mind rather than Xbox One right now, but there's still plenty to enjoy over the next few days, including three more Free Play Days offerings, the usual set of weekly discounts including an Activision publisher sale, and the exciting new addition of Cloud Gaming on Android for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers!
Here's what we're playing over the next couple of days:

Honestly, I haven't had much chance to play anything over the past couple of weeks due to the barrage of next-gen goodness the industry has thrown at us. The only game I've been dipping into is eFootball PES 2021 Season Update (which I'm really enjoying), so any spare time will likely be devoted to some virtual footie this weekend.
I'm also going to be away from home a little bit, so I'm planning to take my Xbox controller on the road and test out Xbox Cloud Gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in a variety of locations with varying connection speeds. I've had good experiences so far, but I'm eager to see how far I can push it!
Have a good weekend, folks.

After hearing the news yesterday that Michel Ancel would be leaving the video game industry to focus on his passion for wildlife, this weekend I've decided to spend some time with Rayman - specifically the 2014 version of Rayman Legends on Xbox One.
Apart from this, I'll be finishing my playthrough of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2. As much as I've enjoyed it, I'm wanting to clear up my gaming schedule now for Star Wars: Squadrons and Cyberpunk 2077. If I get any extra time this weekend, I'll be diving back into Marvel's Avengers and Hotshot Racing (which I've been playing as part of my Xbox Game Pass subscription).
Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Currently playing the excellent call of duty 3 on backwards compatibility.
@Arugula Yes! And then we'll stalk your location in Microsoft Flight Simulator
@Arugula If I can't see that big Santa from the sky in MFS I'm going to be really disappointed
Will be playing some more Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order on Xbox One. I'm nearing the end of the game now so I'm hoping to get it done this weekend so that I can start up Hellblade on Game Club.
I'm also playing Metroid Samus Returns on 3DS since I always need to play a Metroidvania title on the side. This game is honestly very good but the level design leaves much to desire, although it is understandable since this is a remake of an early Gameboy game, which wasn't that good to begin with. Either way, it feels so nice to be playing a Metroid game again. I've pretty much played all the 2D ones now, so I'm hoping Nintendo will make one on the Switch.
After beating Hollow Knight at 90% and seeing the worst ending, I've stopped playing it for some time. Time to play something else. Some parts of that wonderful game are just too hard. But I'll get back to it in a month or so.
I've (re)started playing Rise of the Tomb Raider on Xbox One. I love it!
And I'm starting Super Mario 64 from SM3D All Stars on Switch. Time to relive some wonderful memories!
And I'm occasionally playing a DKC level or two to get 101% again after so many years.
Tony Hawk 1&2 and Marvel vs Capcom 3 on Xbox One.
I will most likely be playing more of the Avengers campaign. I am really enjoying it so far. Maybe some more Spiritfarer as well? Have a great weekend everyone!
some Just Cause 3 mixed in with Borderlands 3
Just finished chapter 2 of Tell Me Why so I foresee continuing this great story this weekend!
Have a great weekend everyone!
FF 13 through BC, and my copy of Control arrives today from Amazon.
Fallout 3 (Games For Windows) - Finally beat the game early this morning.
Flowerz (Windows Phone) - My current time waster game.
Secrets and Treasure: The Lost Cities (Windows Phone) - Thank goodness that this is nearly over now.
I am still playing Forza Horizon 4 & loving it. I am on to the first expansion, Fortune Island.
Just cleaning up some achievements in Forza Horizon 4 and possibly make a start with Alien Isolation, been fancying the marvel game but I’m not sure yet as I’ve heard mixed reviews
I'm still playing the Witcher 3, This game is really good.. Can't believe it took me this long to play it..
Nothing on Xbox this weekend.
PS4 — Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War Alpha
Switch — Super Mario Sunshine
I restarted New Super Luckys Tale on my X.
Project Diva Mega Mix on my Switch (New song pack dropped)
I’m not sure what to test this weekend on xCloud. I’m soo indecisive there :/
More Overwatch, Slay the Spire and Hotshot Racing.
Omg, traded in oneX for voucher (guess why!)
Suffering withdrawal symptoms from Borderlands 2 (handsome collection)
Pulled out old 360 and found Thief, played a little before deciding on a film... I'll go back to Thief during the week
I played some peggle earlier but will play some NCAA football 14
I'm very close to finishing Children of Morta. Otherwise, I'm working my way through Tell Me Why and Hotshot Racing. Am really enjoying them all.
I'm playing Children of Morta on PC primarily, because the load times on console/cloud are unbearably long. The other two have mainly been on cloud, although TMW is also installed on my PC — looks fantastic on that!
@mousieone How are you finding New Super Lucky's Tale? It's on my to-play list!
Wasteland 3. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2. Also, bought a cheap copy of Days Gone that I've been waiting to give a chance on my PS4.
Super Mario 3D All-Stars mostly but some Forza Horizon 2 also....
Played a bit of Re-reckoning, and Crysis remaster, otherwise have been trying out RealLife most of the weekend.
@MegaWatts Loved the game on my Switch, love it even more with boost on my X. It's not the "Tough as Nails" kind of platformer if you are looking for that. There are 3d and 2d levels, so I don't know if that's going to turn you off. I actually like the 2d levels a little better. But I'm having fun.
I am still experiencing the story of Tell Me Why. I just finished Chapter 2 today, and will be moving onto Chapter 3 when I get the chance.
@mousieone This sounds right up my street! Thanks!
