Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 558 1

If you're feeling the pinch this month, you have more options than ever to play some games for free. Whether you're up for some superhero slugging or just fancy dressing up all pretty, you can check out some cool new games without breaking open the wallet. Can't argue with that!

Aaron Bayne

I finally picked up Hunt: Showdown 1896 on PS5 this week. Very excited to try this one out.

Echo Apsey

I'm going to be juggling both Path of Exile 2 and Marvel Rivals this weekend after playing the former ahead of release and the latter during July's PS5 beta. Fingers crossed the servers for both can hold up.

Robert Ramsey

All this excitement for Path of Exile 2 has got me weighing up an early access buy-in — but I can't commit just yet, because I still need to play through Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred! So, the plan is to try and get that squared away on what is supposed to be a very stormy weekend. Perfect gaming weather.

Scott McCrae

Still plucking away slowly at Metaphor ReFantazio. Although the prospect of a new MachineGames joint may have me defecting to Xbox this weekend.

Simon Fitzgerald

It’s a free to play weekend for me as I’ll be checking out Infinity Nikki, My First Gran Turismo, and Marvel Rivals. Let’s hope at least one of them can entertain me for the weekend.

Stephen Tailby

I'll be focusing on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind this weekend, with a review to follow soon. If I get any extra time, I'm curious to take Marvel Rivals for a spin as well.
