Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 11-12)

How about some Road 96 on Xbox Game Pass?

It’s time for the weekend! There’s not too much going on with Xbox at the moment, but we do have a new Xbox Game Pass addition in the form of Road 96, and don’t forget about the ongoing Last Chance sale on the Xbox Store!

Here’s what we’re playing this weekend:

Fraser Gilbert, Editor
I’m firmly in the mood for some Baldur’s Gate 3 this weekend, so hopefully I can find the time for it. Road 96 is calling to me as well – Pure Xbox staffer Ben actually bought that for me a while ago, and I still haven’t properly finished it yet.

Beyond that, I’m making an effort this year to be consistent with Microsoft Rewards again. I know the new system has been a bit divisive, but I’m actually really enjoying it so far – the removal of any achievement-based quests means that I’m more tempted to dig in and start earning points. Hopefully I can keep it up over the weekend!

Have a good couple of days folks.

Last week, I mentioned starting Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Well, it turns out one weekend was all I needed—and I loved it! Phenomenal game. Congrats to me for finishing it, but now I need something new to play.

Lately, I’ve been giggling away at all the hilarious dialogue choices in Disco Elysium. I’m really enjoying it and will probably stick with it for now. That said, the hype around Arma Reforger has caught my attention, and I’m itching to try it. Should I? Probably. Oh, go on then!

Happy gaming, folks!
