Welcome to the final weekend of November 2022! If you're looking for some new stuff to try on Xbox this weekend, don't forget we received two new Xbox Game Pass additions earlier this week (Battlefield 2042 and Gungrave G.O.R.E), while the ongoing Xbox Black Friday 2022 sale continues to offer great deals, including 30% off Sonic Frontiers!
Here's what we're playing this weekend:

It might surprise you to hear that I'm pretty hooked on Police Simulator: Patrol Officers at the moment, so that'll probably take up quite a lot of my time this weekend. It's definitely rough around the edges, but it's also a lot of fun.
I'm also hoping to dip into Fall Guys Season Three, as well as Battlefield 2042 on Xbox Game Pass. I've never played the latter, and I'm finding that Warzone 2.0 is very difficult for me to get into, so hopefully Battlefield 2042 might be a bit more up my street. Failing that, I'll just have to go back to Battlefront 2 and Titanfall 2!

As you might have seen, it was the 20th anniversary of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell the other week. Since then, I've been revisiting the original title (first released on Xbox in 2002). I have incredibly fond memories of the earlier games in the series, so it's been quite the reunion teaming up with Sam Fisher once again.
Apart from this, I've also been getting ready for The Witcher 3's next-gen update. I booted up my old save just to make sure everything is good to go, and I'm now ready for the new quest to unlock all the Netflix gear. Last but not least I'll be playing some Vampire Survivors - it's just so addictive, I can't stop!
What Xbox games are you playing this weekend? Let us know down in the comments below.

Gotham Knights and a bit of Steelrising. Both games are hard to put down, especially the former. Still can't believe GK received bad reviews. Like gurl, I just don't get it.
I'm going to say something controversial but I'm enjoying this more than Arkham Knight.
Anyways, happy weekend fellow gamers!
I’m still playing God of War Ragnarok (PS5). I’m roughly 65-70% through with the game, and clocking in at 42 hours so far. I have gotta say - this game is absolutely incredible. It continues to surprise me with new locations and tools even so late in the game, and it’s so difficult to put the controller down because I want to constantly explore. There aren’t many games that can capture my attention in such fashion, but this one has its grips on me. I believe this game is truly a masterpiece, and it’s certainly one of PlayStation’s greatest outings.
On a side note: I’m getting married next Saturday and then going on a week long honeymoon. I’m hoping I’ll be able to complete GOWR before then, and maybe even obtain the Platinum trophy. I have a feeling I won’t be able to due to working full time and working on last minute wedding stuff, but damn it, I’m gonna try. Lol.
Bagged Sinking City in the Xbox Store sale. Loving it so far. The low budget is quite apparent but it is a nicely crafted game.
Oh, I'm playing A LOT of stuff this weekend. Wanted to hang out with the bois but they can't so it's going to be full gaming.
On Xbox WWE 2K22 (such an improvement from the last ones) Yakuza 0 and Vampire Survivors (this sh#t is addictive).
On PS4 I've recently got Extra so I'm trying a lot of different games. Some I wanted to buy on Xbox like Redeemer and Fractured but Whole and some exclusives like Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima and Dark Rose Valkyrie.
I also tried Romance of the Three Kingdoms and I love that you basically have a NOOB difficulty because I like those games but normally I suck.
@Barry_Biscuits
I'm planning on getting that one since it's on sale!
I just downloaded Just Cause 4. I haven’t played any of them, but I heard they’re pretty chaotic.
On PS5 I've recently purchased Steel Rising so I will be starting that today.
On switch I will be playing more Pokémon Violet and Mario and Rabbids sparks of hope
And on Series S it's Deathloop and I want to try Warzone 2.0, also just picked up Cyberpunk 2077 for £23 off cd keys, so might give that a try also.
On the program via GPU: Gungrave, Somerville, P Tale R. & Return To MI …

Interesting. I really didn't dig Arkham knight to be honest. It's the only
of that set of games that i didn't get into. Maybe it was the car bit. Maybe because I wasn't a fan of just getting some repackaged red hood story. Imho
Keeping an eye in this one. Hopefully either game pass or a decent spring sale.
Finally went back to Plague Tale Requiem, not sure why but I just felt like playing other stuff when it came out.
Also been playing Evoland Legendary Edition on pc, free game from Epic recently, and it's pretty fun. It's mostly just a nostalgia trip, but it's actually a pretty good little rpg in its own right. I had never heard of it, or maybe just completely ignored it before, so that was a nice surprise.
Vampire survivor.
Which surprised me, not always a fan of this kind of gameplay loop.
Call of duty Modern Warfare 2. Loving it so far, though like most AAA games I've run through this year...it does have a good amount of flaws. My experience anyway.
Maybe some BF2042. I got a little soured with how they handled 5. I know BF has always had rough releases.
BF5 really picked up when I played it a year and change after release though.
I didn't like the start, but willing to check out how it plays now. Least they are trying to fix it.
Want to play some Halo Infinite, but getting harder to be interested in Multiplayer anymore with that. Already beat Campaign, and can say that held up decent at least.
Last but not least, gunfire reborn. Fun, small and easy to just jump in to play. Even has a multiplayer option too. Though I've yet to try it.
I picked up Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure All StarBattle Royal that was on sale. I’ll be playing that and making time for Disney Dreamlight Valley, King of Fighters 15, and Capcom Fighting Collection.
Im predictably still playing GOW Rangorok. Loving it.
Im also playing far too much Forza Horizon 3 and loving that.
Whatever your playing, have fun!
Def Call of Duty MW2 best FPS in a longggg time.
Bought metal gear rising for 5 bucks and o intend to play a bit of that. I wanna shut my brain off after finishing pentinent.
Also watching world cup as usual
VAMOS ARGENTINA!!!
Evil West - a lot of fun.
Can't wait for Callisto Protocol.
I'm playing Citizen sleeper and I'm enjoying it quite a lot actually!! A lot more than I thought I would. Great game.
Assassin’s Creed Ezio Collection. It was great playing AC2 again in 60fps on the Series X after a 13 year hiatus from the game.
Getting on with 1 of my final few ps4 games. I'm mainly playing xbx now but had an urge to finish Sackboy on ps4 so working on that for now.
Eventually I'll return to New Super Lucky Tale but right now, I'm platinum hunting.
Genshin impact
Sonic frontiers atm
Couldn’t figure out what to play last night, so I fired up Fallout New Vegas again. This time I need to go for a different ending. I’ve never joined Mr. House.
I put the gamepass app on a Retroid Pocket 3 so I'm playing on the go this weekend. While not perfect it is pretty damn good. As Dusk Falls and Grounded are my go to games.
@BlackMayge congrats on your soon to be married status! My last anniversary was my 20th and I couldnt be happier. I hope you and yours find the same happiness.
Appreciate your love of Rangorok too. One of those special titles that delivers an experience its hard to forget. If only they had managed to provide a map that actually helped you to navigate, it woukd be perfect! Good luck on both your journeys..
@BlackMayge Congratulations on your upcoming marriage my friend. Hope it all goes well next Saturday. It’ll be my 28th anniversary in January, and although there’s definitely been some ups and downs, I honestly couldn’t be happier. I wish you nothing but happiness and contentment.
As for what I’m playing this weekend, it’s God of War Ragnarok (which my wife preordered me as a surprise) on PS5 and Forza Horizon 5 on Series S (which was a Christmas present from her last year). Though I kinda want to upgrade to a Series X. Maybe this Christmas? Hint hint 😂
I'm playing Mass Effect 3 at the moment, hoping to get last achievements on Legendary Edition. And then, as always, some games of Halo Infinite.
@EliJapan Nope, we've also got @Kezelpaso, @Liam_Doolan and @PJOReilly all working on the site right now!
We sometimes prepare these "What Are You Playing" posts quite late in the week, and depending on how busy we are, we don't always get to add our submissions in time. You should see them becoming a bit fuller in 2023!
Halo 5 & Infinite MP and Tales of Zestiria.
Halo Infinite, The Gunk and Fall Guys
Evil West and Far Cry 6. Two of the best games I've played in a long time.
