What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 4-5)

Welcome to the first weekend of March! If you’re looking for things to do, we’ve got more new Xbox Game Pass titles you can check out from the past few days, three great Free Play Days titles are on offer, and there’s also a massive Xbox Super Saver Sale along with various other sales that you should definitely check out on the Xbox Store.

Here’s what we’re playing this weekend:

I’ve had this chat with some folk on Pure Xbox before – I’ve still never played a Diablo game! Therefore, with Diablo 3: Eternal Collection part of Xbox Free Play Days this week, I’ve finally decided to download it. Honestly, I’m not quite sure what to expect and whether it’ll be my type of game, but it’s worth a try for free, right?

The other game I need to play is Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s such a fantastic title and it’s leaving Xbox Game Pass soon, so I highly recommend it. As soon as I saw the announcement that it was being removed from the service, I went out and bought a physical copy earlier this week. That’s unusual for me, but it’s just so good!

Have a good weekend, folks.

My gaming weekend is going to be heavily dictated by this week’s Xbox sales if I’m honest! So far I’ve picked up both Mafia 2: Definitive Edition and WRC 10 for dirt cheap on Xbox Live – they’re both the cheapest they’ve ever been on Xbox right now!

I’ve already dipped into WRC which is good, if at times unforgiving fun, and I’m gearing up for starting Mafia 2 this weekend. My first experience with the series was in 2020’s Mafia Remake, which I absolutely loved! I’m very much looking forward to getting stuck into the next chapter of the Mafia story.

I hope you have a splendid weekend!
