Welcome to the weekend! There's so much to check out on Xbox over the next few days, including a batch of major Xbox Game Pass additions, two more Free Play Days titles, and of course, the ongoing Xbox Summer Sale.
Here's what we’re jumping into over the weekend:

Anyone else feel like they can't keep up with all the great games hitting Xbox Game Pass at the moment? There's so much I want to try this weekend, from Raji: An Ancient Epic to the new single-player adventure Omno, but I'm not quite sure how I'm going to find the time. It's a good problem to have!
I definitely want to jump back into Microsoft Flight Simulator and enjoy a few flights this weekend too, most likely in the UK so I can sample the free UK & Ireland World Update more thoroughly. I've set myself the goal of trying to visit all 92 Premier League / EFL stadiums in the UK, which is certainly going to take some time!
Finally, I was also lucky enough to get into the first Halo Infinite Technical Preview, so that's what's taking up the rest of my time. I've only been able to dip into it a little bit so far, but there are still a couple of days to go yet.
Have a good weekend, folks!

I'm on an indie binge at the moment. Xbox Game Pass is enlightening me to some absolutely fantastic experiences, along with some other games I'm checking out.
On the Game Pass front, I'm currently about halfway through Last Stop and I'm pleasantly surprised. There's not much in terms of actual gameplay, but the narrative has sunk its claws into me. I'm also replaying Bug Fables after 100%ing the game on my Nintendo Switch last year, and of course, it still holds up.
I've also checking out The Forgotten City, a once Skyrim mod turned full game. I've reached one ending, but it's a continuously growing puzzle box with new ideas at every corner. I'll definitely be checking out the other endings to see what else can happen.
Finally, along with Fraser, I have access to the Halo Infinite Technical Preview, which means I can finally see the next step in the evolution of the series. I can't wait!
Have a great one, everyone!

Switch - Skyward Sword HD!
PS5 - Demon's Souls!
PC - Gmod with friends!
Have a good weekend everyone.
Just like most people, I have so many games to play on Game Pass now. Last Stop, Omno, Crimson Skies, The Ascent and also A Plague Tale now that we're playing it on Game Club. On top of that, I'm also playing through Little Nightmares on Switch and Wolfenstein 2 on PS4. There's certainly no shortage of games to play this weekend!
Flight Simulator & Brutal Legend.
Switch - Atelier Ryza 2, Im getting close to the end so I want to wrap it up before continuing Persona 5 Strikers.
XSS - Gears 5 Coop Campaign. This will be my third playthrough. This game is so good! Maybe some Flight Simulator too if I have time for it. Played it a little and I like it alot.
So much has been released this last couple of weeks. Putting most of my effort into Death's Door and Flight Sim. Think I'll download Crimson Skies for old times sake.
Forgotten city, Omno, Flight simulator, Dying light =)
Playing Gears of War 5 for the first time on XCloud new Xbox player here! Brilliant game so far
I have too many games to play atm, so much so that I’ve stopped trying to get a PS5! Anyway, I’m playing The Ascent, Flight Simulator, Orcs must die! 3, Death’s door, and Dirt 5. And on my lonely PS4 pro some Read Dead Online.
Tried MFS- too complicated and boring for me, but I'm happy for those who are enjoying it!
I'm playing The Ascent on Series S and having a blast!
On PS5: Mass Effect 3
I managed to eek out a finish of The Touryst, which was okay in my books- nothing I feel like I’ll remember much of down the road. I missed the last achievement- to do list. Retro games are my downfall apparently since I couldn’t beat any of the high scores 😅.
I’m not going to be starting something big since I’ll be leaving for vacation in a couple days but I’ll be throwing some dodgeballs in KO City and I think I’ll try out Flight Sim and see what the fuss is about.
I might try some more xcloud games if I have the chance while I’m gone and bring my new Backbone controller with me. I was on the fence since it’s fairly expensive but it sure beats the MOGA clip I’ve been using tenfold and its so much lighter and it’s like a Switch Lite. If you’re on the fence and you like the cloud gaming then definitely give it a shot.
Uncharted: Golden Abyss (Vita) - Wasn't a fan of the river section, died a few times there...
Equalicious (Windows Phone) - I do like me some puzzle games.
Doodle God (Windows Phone) - At the end now.
I'm playing Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, Really enjoying it so far..
To much to choose from, flight simulator, forza motorsport, i bought it becouse its leaving and cyberpunk
Loving The Ascent, I’ve never seen so much detail in a game world on console before. It’s simply stunning!
Did I mention how banging Bloodroots is? Also I'll finally be wrapping up Immortals tonight.
Some flight sim later tonight as well as playing the PS4 version of Cotton Reboot.
Doom Eternal is getting slightly easier as I'm gaining new abilities and customizing upgrades, but each chapter is so exhausting I have to actually take a breather between them. Don't get me wrong, it's fun as hell, just some of the kill room sections are so frantic and chaotic I end up literally on the edge of my seat, and I refuse to accept the sentinel armor or whatever I've been offered a couple times for dying too much, haha... I don't need that pity prize - thanks, but no thanks 😎 I'll beat this game by getting good. Also, The raytracing mode is really quite stunning.
I started Bioshock Infinite yesterday to play something a little less intense, and I'm not sure how I feel about it so far. I just got to Monument Island. I have to say, I am intrigued, and quite curious to see where they're going with this.
Besides Halo Infinite Tech Preview and The Ascent I'm also playing Halo 5 Campaign
What I’ve selected plus probably continue the Trine 2 post game with the kids before moving onto Trine 3 and Crash Bandicoot 4 with them. A bit of Flight Sim during the day. Then when everyone goes to bed back into ME2 and check out the Ascent.
-Last stop
-just bought, Deus ex mankind divides (played back when it came out and it was amazing)
Just finished Trigger Witch, going for Blaster Master Zero 3 next
Tried flight simulator, got the instructor taking the controls from me because i was “putting the plane on a dangerous situation” got back to Ace combat.
If they could pronounce Edinburgh correctly i'd be impressed. It's hilarious the engine can't work out what a castle should look like from the sat photos so built flats and houses instead on it.
terrible. just terrible.
