Welcome to the weekend! Well, it's time to finally check out CrossfireX on Xbox Game Pass over the next couple of days, and there are plenty of other new Game Pass releases at your disposal as well. Elsewhere, Free Play Days includes the excellent Riders Republic this week, and there are hundreds of deals on Xbox right now, too.
Here's what we're checking out this weekend:

I know exactly what I've got my eye on this weekend — Riders Republic. We gave it an "Excellent" 9/10 here at Pure Xbox when we reviewed it last year, but I wasn't the one who reviewed it, so I'm keen to find out what all the fuss is about. It's included with Free Play Days until late on Sunday night, so plenty of time to get properly stuck in.
What else am I playing at the moment? Not much, really — I'm putting most of my focus on Microsoft Rewards and Xbox Game Pass Quests for now, so I've been playing stuff like Steep and Aragami 2 lately to get some extra points. Quake is also my go-to for doing the new PC-based Quests, and with those now in the mix as well, I'm getting around 4.5k Microsoft Rewards points per-week at the moment!
Have a good weekend, everyone.

Will be playing Forza Motorsport 6 on Xbox One, Diablo 3 on PS4 and No More Heroes on Wii U. Started recently playing FM6 and it's such a huge improvement over FM5. Really enjoying it so far!
Would be nice if CrossfireX didnt want to charge me for the campaign still despite having game pass. Playing Sekiro and Dying Light 2
Just started playing Grim Dawn this morning, which I picked up in a recent Xbox sale. Also playing OlliOlli World, Dying light 2, and Dysmantle. On PS5 I’m playing GT Sport, in anticipation of GT 7.
Dying light on my series s didn't finish it before part 2 came so part 2 I'll get later this year when things calm down with big releases . Horizon zero dawn on my ps5 finishing it up before hfw comes next week.
Playing Two Point Hospital and Lone: Far Sails ahead of the sequels coming to Game Pass in the next couple of months. Would also play the Crossfire X Remedy Campaign but alas it's still not working for Game Pass users. Seems the game wants to win the Broken Launch Game of the Year award.
Will binge on The Medium before it leaves Game Pass and believe it or not goin back to the first Tom Clancy's Division game. Open world New York is still beautiful
@pip_muzz That explains why it got removed from Game Pass. I didn't know why since initial reactions killed any interest I had in the game for now.
As for what I'm playing this weekend, Guardians of the Galaxy on my PS5. It's been great so far. Only 4 chapters to go.
@Nightcrawler71
Hey, glad youre able to try the game. I had a lot of fun with it over the last week or so. 🙂
@LtSarge No more heroes is great. Played on the switch for the first time, and on the Final boss. Waiting till I feel in the mood to finish that off. Good playing 🙂
@pip_muzz I think Crossfire has already won that award
Mahjong by Microsoft (Android) - Playing dailies and pack challenges.
Contre Jour (Windows Phone) - About halfway through now.
Ridiculous Marathon (Windows Phone) - Still playing in bursts as well.
Nothing. My country just lifted all covid restrictions so I'll be out drinking all weekend.
Finished the Halo Infinite weekly to maintain my inform streak of completion. Hopefully next week won’t be as batshit crazy as get killjoys or win 3 ranked CTF games.
Also playing Besiege. Started out making my own creations but ended up using the workshop download to solve some levels. Great little game.
Dived back into Sea of Thieves with the guys last night as we found Back 4 Blood remains fun drainingly difficult even after the new patch.
Still chipping away at Return to Castle Wolfenstein on PC. Think I'm going to look for a source port or some kind of fix since the vanilla version is giving me some issues with frame rate, saving, loading, enemy AI, controls/control options, resolution... pretty much everything is not working quite as it should.
Dark Souls 2 on XSX, Sifu and Kena on PS5
im like 8hrs in Gears 5, and omg cant believe I haven't played this awesome game before.
R6 Extraction….Grim Dawn….probably just those 2 until. Elden Ring. Maybe something on Switch. 🤷♂️
I'll be playing Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition..
Lego Star Wars 3 Clone Wars - x360
Borderlands 3 - ps4
Metroid Dread - switch
Pokemon Leaf Green- gba
Edge of Eternity, Crossfire X Operation Catalyst, Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5.
Just completed house of Ashes and will start Dying light 2 tommorow probably
Rolled credits on Plagues Tale and started Deaths Door. Will likely play some AI Sonium files on xcloud, if i get to play on the series x again this weekend I'll be carrying on in the Infinite campaign.
@Clankylad i never played any of them or owned a PS4 but i really enjoyed the uncharted games on PS3 so I'd go for uncharted if I were you.
Dante's Inferno is next up on the backlog chopping block.
@Clankylad They're all brilliant, you can't go wrong.
Been playing Dying Light 2 on my Series X. Enjoying it a lot, but I think the controls could be better.
@Clankylad I'd say play in the order of shortest to longest: UD, U4, GoW, HZD, P5. A truly great bunch of games! Enjoy!
