Welcome to the weekend! It's been another relatively busy week in the world of Xbox, with five more Xbox Game Pass additions (including Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege), three more Free Play Days offerings, a couple of ongoing sales and a whole bunch of new releases! There's plenty to discover...
Here's what we're playing over the next couple of days:

I hadn't really dipped into Super Lucky's Tale or the recently released New Super Lucky's Tale with Xbox Game Pass until recently, but I'm really enjoying its relaxed platforming and polished presentation. I've been switching between Xbox One and Project xCloud to play it, and I suspect that will continue over the weekend!
Elsewhere, I'm also playing a bit of Gears 5 ahead of its upcoming enhancements for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and I still need to check out that 5th Anniversary Free DLC Pack for Rock Band 4...
Have a good weekend, folks!

It's the same old for me this weekend - Halo, Halo and more Halo. I've been grinding away at the game's multiplayer for months on end. I should really be replaying the solo portion of the series before Halo Infinite drops, but the multiplayer is just too addictive, I can't stop!
Apart from Halo, on the side, I'll be playing a little bit of Sea of Thieves before the big October update Fate of the Damned arrives next week. And last but not least, I'll be burning some rubber in Forza Motorsport 7. After a long hiatus, I'm glad to finally be playing this particular series. I guess I'll pick Forza Horizon 4 back up when my Series X arrives.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Will be playing the Pokémon Sword/Shield Crown Tundra DLC that was released yesterday. So far it's really good and I'm having tons of fun playing Dynamax Adventure online with friends.
Also, since it's Halloween month I'm playing through more horror games. I finished Outlast earlier this week and now I'm playing through Silent Hill 1 and Resident Evil 1 Director's Cut on my PS Vita. These games hold up so well and are so much fun to play!
Some other games I might play are Ys VIII, Ori and the Blind Forest and Assassin's Creed Odyssey The Fate of Atlantis DLC. It's gonna be a fun weekend!
Remnant of the Ashes on Xbox, and Hades on PC.
Looking forward to Ghostrunner on the 27th!
Please can we have more polls like Nintendo Life has where you select the games you're playing. Please!
@Lionyone Sure! We'll look into adding this next week
Finished the Doom Eternal DLC on PC last night. Will be doing Gears 1-3 on Xbox One BC over the next few days. Then 4 and 5 on PC. Waiting for November 10th for the PC updates (and new PC! Even though I already max out Gears 4 and 5).
I would be playing Halo 4 flights but 343 sent me the Xbox access, which I'm not even signed up for. And does it even have a current Xbox test? It's been out for 6 years.
I'm playing Call Of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered, After i'm finished that i'm gonna buy Modern Warfare 2 Campaign remastered to continue the story.. Hopefully they make a Modern Warware 3 Remaster soon so i can complete the full trilogy.. I'm basically taking it easy playing some relaxing 1st person shooters before next gen comes out..
I'm getting in the Halloween spirit with various Castlevania games and the Ghostbusters remaster and The Darkness
Finished Batman Telltale last night. Will probably spend the rest of the weekend playing UFC 4 and Destroy All Humans. I'd like to finish RE7 but I have so much work to do that I probably won't get around to that until next week.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - Arrived in Zora's Domain to begin the third dungeon.
The Walking Dead: Season Two (Vita) - Starting on Episode 4, Episode 3 was really messed up....
AlphaJax (Windows Phone) - Still playing here and there.
I am playing Mass Effect: Andromeda.
@Medic_Alert I am in the same mode the load times on my one x for any game are now really noticable. So I'm going back in time and playing shadow run on the sega
@Link41x Yeah, the ending to Episode 3 of TWD: Season Two is crazy.
Are you enjoying the season so far?
I’ve been obsessed with Rocket League! I first started playing on Switch when it released but quit playing and now I’ve been playing it on Xbox again. I tried the Switch version again the other day and was surprised at the difference in the experiences- I won’t be going back lol😁
Likely continue Gears UE and maybe even a bit of observation... New Super Lucky Tale is actually pretty good as well
Sonic Transformed and some 360 Live arcade classics for sure, like Omega Five!
I'm playing The Walking Dead: Season 1 on xCloud on my smartphone and Deliver Us The Moon on the PC (both on Game Pass). Both are excellent! Also, counting down the days when my XSX arrives.
On the Xbox Side, SpongeBob Rehydrated and I'm about to start playing Sam and Max and Night in the Woods (Game Pass)
For some reason I am in a racing mood this weekend so it will be
Forza Horizon 3 (Xbox One) Just opened my third festival site, The Outback so interested in hitting those races.
Horizon Chase Turbo (Xbox One). Got back into this one again. Trying to get the Super Trophies for each race now.
For me, it has been and continues to be:
Dead Island: Definitive Edition (PS4 Pro) with my best friend and his son, along with Star Wars: The Old Republic (PC), and Assassin's Creed: Origins (my virgin run) (XB1X).
Everyone enjoy the rest of the weekend!
@FraserG Absolutely! Can't to see what awaits in Season 4!
@FraserG Fantastic! Thanks! I love it that you take on board reader suggestions. It makes this a cosy little community! 😃
I’ve just been finishing up on some collectibles in Mafia and continuing my story in Fallen Order. Have tried to enjoy Control but the way the map is only top down it is kinda difficult to navigate, especially with the map not loading properly half the time
@Link41x Interesting to see someone still using a Windows Phone. Do you use it still as a daily phone or just for some light gaming? I miss Windows phone.
Picked up AO Tennis 2, Project CARS 3, and Destroy All Humans (remake) recently so probably diving into those. I also picked up Mafia 1 and 2 definitive editions recently as well, so I got lots of new games I am into, not including all the Game Pass games I've been checking out such as Gears Tactics and We Happy Few.
Right now Project Cars 3 has been a surprise hit for me. The reviews were really mixed but I can tell why after getting into it, it's a real departure from the first two games and I think it's for the better. I always thought of the Project CARS games as being kind of whatever, they did the whole sim thing pretty well but they didn't have much depth for me, it was always the kind of games that stood out to the type of people who always use a wheel and are really into the sim racing experience. With Project CARS 3 the game is a lot more like a Forza experience but personally it feels most similar to the Project Gotham Racing games. Considering how I loved that series and really miss them this game is right up my alley, and the new focus on being able to upgrade your cars has made it so the cars finally have a unique tuning feel that makes them feel built around my specific desire for where to take the cars and how I want them to perform, something that was lacking with the prior games. Combined with the new career mode that is a lot more like the Project Gotham games, I have been having a blast.
Playing more Nexomon Extinction PQube Indies been making me so happy lately.
@ArmyofOne congrats
@FraserG I’m hope you enjoy NSLT. Lucky deserves love
@Kalvort Hades is amazing. I wish they could make a xbox too !
I'm playing Kingdom Hearts for the very first time thanks to KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX on Xbox Game Pass. So far I am mostly enjoying it, even if it is a bit clunky to play. I can certainly see why the series has such a strong following, even if it doesn't make a lick of sense!
Otherwise, I finally reached Pirate Legend in Sea of Thieves on Friday (woop woop!) and am continuing my very gradual playthrough of Slayaway Camp.
Xbox Remote Play has been a real blessing for enjoying most of these games!
@kingv84 Mostly offline gaming on it, I have a Android flip phone now.
@INVICTUS I only played a few hours of it, I made it to the 3rd level so far. It's really good! Now I'm thinking about turning on God Mode haha.
And yes, hopefully soon they'll bring it to Xbox!!
