What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 30-31)

It’s time for another weekend! In the run up to our final one in August, multiple big games have dropped including some fresh Xbox Game Pass additions – so there’s plenty to be going at over the next few days.

Here’s what we’re playing over at PX HQ this weekend:

As you’d probably guess by my recent coverage and the above pic, I’m playing more Gears of War: Reloaded over the next few days, for sure. It’s so nice to be back playing classic Gears with a big community again, especially as I dropped off Gears 5 right around the time they stopped producing new content for it back in 2021. I’ll see you gearheads on the battlefield!

To be honest, I doubt I’ll have much time to play anything else over the next few days. However, I’ll probably give the new Gran Turismo 7 update a whirl on PS5; grabbing my daily & weekly rewards in the meantime. I’m still very much enjoying the PlayStation racer, and I’m happy to see the updates keep rolling in.

Have a great few days, folks.

Three games are on the list for me this weekend. The first is Helldivers 2, which I’m hoping to properly dig into over the next couple of days and discover what the hype is all about. I’ve only done the tutorial and one mission so far, and I’m really loving the atmosphere of it all – is it weird to say I’m getting Star Wars vibes in some ways?

Gears of War: Reloaded is an obvious one as well. I’ve never been a massive Gears fan (Ben is the Gears expert on staff here), but I’m looking forward to diving into the campaign and seeing what this remastered version is like. And finally, WWE 2K25 – I went to see AEW Forbidden Door at the 02 Arena last weekend, so I’m in a big wrestling mood!

Have a good weekend, folks.
