Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 8-9)

Any Far Cry New Dawn on Xbox Game Pass?

by Fraser Gilbert Yesterday, 12pm

Welcome to the weekend! We’ve got a handful of new Xbox Game Pass titles to check out over the next two days, along with cool Xbox Free Play Days additions, the Monster Hunter Wilds beta, and lots of sales on the Xbox Store!

Here’s what we’re playing this weekend:

Fraser Gilbert, Editor
I’ve come down with the flu over the past few days, so I’ll be spending this weekend feeling sorry for myself! In the process, I’ll probably be playing a lot more Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator which just launched earlier this week, along with the free PGA Tour 2K25 demo that’s really impressed me so far – I might end up buying it!

WWE 2K24 is calling to me as well after the Royal Rumble the other week, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is sitting in my library waiting to be played, I’m slowly making my way through Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles, and Football Manager 2024 has sunk its addictive hooks into me on PC Game Pass. I need more time for all these games!

Have a good weekend, folks.

Craig Reid, Video Producer
I made a very daft choice this week.

See, when I play games for our video capture and reviews, I often end up hastily ploughing through the narrative to make sure I get everything I need for the footage. Typically, I don’t get to experience the game at a naturally slower pace.

And that brings us to the very daft thing I did. Despite being about 37 hours into the story—me, being the muppet that I am—decided to start a new game on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

But you know what? I’ve absolutely loved playing it from the start again. So yes, I’m a dafty, because KCD2 is going to take up every spare gaming minute I have this week. Yep, that’s the plan!

Happy gaming, folks!
