Rift apart
The busy E3 2021 weekend is upon us, but unlike in past years there are no late nights and no Sony, so just how busy remains up for debate. We’re confident we will see some PS5 games over the next couple of days, and we really can’t ask for more than that, can we? Robert Ramsey, Deputy Editor: I'll be trying to sneak some Guilty...

Ninja master
From freezing to utterly sweltering: the weather’s about as unpredictable as Sony these days. It’s been a bit of quiet week for PlayStation, aside from casual confirmation of God of War Ragnarok coming to the PS4. That went down about as well as you can imagine. Sammy Barker, Editor: I, perhaps foolishly, decided to start...

Mall brawl
Good grief, how is it the end of May already? After the slowest year on record in 2020, this one is absolutely blitzing by. Blink and it'll be Christmas again. Sammy Barker, Editor: I've been getting back into Steep, so I'll probably chill out with a bit of that this weekend. I've got lots to keep me busy, so I imagine I'll be bouncing...

Trust the rust
We’re nearing the end of May and we’re yet to enjoy a single day of sunshine here at Push Square Towers. In fact, it’s positively depressing out there. Good thing the sun is always shining on PlayStation – well, depending on what game you’re playing, we suppose. Sammy Barker, Editor: God I’ve got so much to play and I...

My favourite remaster on the Citadel
A tardy week in the PlayStation Nation has come to a conclusion, but we did still get a couple of new PS5 controller colours and the Mass Effect Legendary Edition out of it. We’ll be using this slow period to recharge ahead of E3 next month. Sammy Barker, Editor: After a busy review and preview week, I’m...

Village people
If you go down to the village tonight you’re sure of a big surprise… It’s been a huge few weeks on PlayStation after a relatively slow start to the year, with Resident Evil Village representing the high-profile follow-up to Returnal in a PS5 double-header. Sammy Barker, Editor: I've got Resident Evil Village installed on my...

Time to return to Returnal
Returnal is readily available, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart looks amazing – and, well, all is well in the PlayStation Nation again, right? It’s certainly been a much more exciting period for the brand – long may the good times roll. Sammy Barker, Editor: MLB The Show 21 has become a bit of an obsession for me,...

So NieR, so far
The weather's really beginning to brighten up and it's glorious. Unfortunately, the world's still no where near back to normal, and while we're feeling more optimistic these days – well, it's still a bit too soon for normality, isn't it? Here's hoping we're finally on a more positive path at least, though, eh? Sammy Barker,...

Buildings have feelings too
It’s been a much busier week here at Push Square Towers, with the new PS5 firmware update dropping and the Resident Evil Showcase. To be honest, it’s a refreshing change for Sony to be keeping us on our toes. Unsurprisingly, then, we’re looking forward to the weekend. Here’s what we’re playing Sammy Barker,...

A wild adventure
After the sunshine of the Easter weekend, it’s all feeling a touch gloomy, isn’t it? Fortunately, it’s the weekend, so there’s always room to cheer yourself up with some good old video games. Here’s what we’re playing. Sammy Barker, Editor: I never thought it would happen, but I’ve been playing No Man’s Sky all...

Easter edition
Happy Easter, everyone! We hope you have an extra restful weekend, with lots of games and chocolate eggs. Just try not to eat all those dairy delicacies at once – you’ve got to at least save some for next weekend, right? Sammy Barker, Editor: Sean Murray finally convinced me to give No Man’s Sky another crack, and it’s...

Just the two of us
It’s been a quietly massive month for new PlayStation 5 releases – especially if you’ve been in the market for PS4 to PS5 upgrades. There’s a good chance that, if you own a next-gen console, you’ll have picked one of these ports up of late. And with Play At Home also adding nine new games, you should have plenty to keep...

Unwind
This week saw Sony purchase Evo the fighting game tournament and unexpectedly reveal its next-gen PSVR controllers, which we don’t think anyone expected really. We also got updates on a ton of indie games, as well as the announcement of Life Is Strange: True Colors. We’ve definitely earned a weekend of gaming after all that. Sammy...

Talkin' 'bout
Another relatively drab week has concluded in the PlayStation Nation, but hopefully things are looking up as we edge towards the busy Spring period. Here's what's keeping us busy this weekend. Sammy Barker, Editor: To be honest, I just want to mess about with FIFA 21 this weekend and relax a little bit. I did start Bugsnax earlier in...

Like a dragon
We appreciate it’s a cliché, but the weekend sure does come around quick lately. After the theatrics of last week’s State of Play – and the nonchalant announcement of a new PSVR headset – this week was practically glacial. Let’s hope things improve soon, eh? Sammy Barker, Editor: Well, I'm hooked on Yakuza: Like a Dragon...

Busy week, easy weekend
What a wonderful week it was for video game news – sure, there were highs and lows, but at least the industry felt alive for a little while. We’ll take the ups and downs over the lifeless corpse that our pastime has felt like these past few weeks. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’ve decided not to start any new games until...

Strive for more
The weather’s improving (as long as you don’t live in Texas, anyway) and the days are getting longer – but there’s still a global pandemic, so we’ll be closing the curtains and digging into some video games. Sammy Barker, Editor: Last week I said I wanted to start Death Stranding, and I did. I'm not sure how far into the...

Keep it cool
Guess who almost forgot what day of the week it is? It’s hard to remember during these pandemic times, but your regularly scheduled WAYP is ready – albeit a few hours later than scheduled. It’s absolutely freezing here in the UK right now, so in addition to video games, Push Square will be playing a good old-fashioned game of...

Touchdown
For those of you who care, it’s Super Bowl LV this weekend, which means Brady vs Mahomes – and, er, a live performance from The Weeknd. For the rest of you, it’s another good opportunity to play some video games. Whatever the case, let us know what you’re playing in the comments section below. Sammy Barker, Editor: I've been...

All together now
And thus, another week (and month!) has come to a conclusion. Time really does fly when you’re having fun, doesn’t it? As is Push Square tradition, here’s what we’re playing this weekend. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m in a weird place with Hitman 3 because I’m still absolutely loving the game, but I’ve sussed out pretty...

Picking up steam
It felt like it was a bit busier in the video game industry these past few days, which is hopefully a sign the industry is beginning to awaken from its festive slumber. We’re still mainly obliterating our backlogs, but Hitman 3 did release to critical acclaim this week, so there’s something new to tackle as well. Sammy Barker,...

Strike back
Let’s not beat around the bush: it’s been a dismally slow beginning to 2021 here in the PlayStation-sphere. It feels like the industry is still in its seasonal slumber, and it could be argued that Sony has been more silent than most. Still, it’s a good time to dig in to some older titles and catch up on your backlog. Here’s what...

Back on schedule
God, last week was scary. Amid our holiday slumber, this author forgot what day of the week it was, and forgot about WAYP. Fortunately, Assistant Editor Liam Croft came in with the save. If he hadn’t, that would have broken a streak stretching all the way back to 2013. Thank heavens, eh? Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m still playing...

New year hangover
Nope, we definitely didn't forget about the latest episode of WAYP as the new year rolls around. No siree!

Season's gaming
Happy holidays, everyone! We know it probably wasn’t the same as usual, but we sincerely hope you had an enjoyable and, crucially, safe Christmas this year.

The weekend before Xmas
We’re less than a week away from Christmas now, which means the industry is really beginning to wind down. While it’s no doubt going to be a busy weekend for many of you as you get ready for the big day, hopefully you find a spare moment to squeeze in some video games. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m still playing and...

Cyber-hunker down
We’ve got a sneaking suspicion we know what many of you will be playing this weekend, but the eternal question still needs to be asked. What are you playing this weekend? Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m frustrated with Cyberpunk 2077’s technical shortcomings, but I’m still really enjoying the game. There’s so much to like...

The calm before the Cyberpunk
For the first time in well over a month, we’re able to breathe and take stock of our situation. We’re certainly not complaining, but it’s been a busy period on Push Square, so it’s nice to have a brief moment of respite before Cyberpunk 2077 deploys next week. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’ve been clearing my...

Remember Phogs? They're back
It’s been an outrageously busy month for everyone at Push Square Towers, but the time to unwind is finally nearing. Oh, who are we kidding? There’s still Cyberpunk 2077 and then Game of the Year to sort out. No rest for the wicked! Sammy Barker, Editor: I’ve somehow worked my way through the majority of Demon’s...

Play has no limits at last
Yay! Play has no limits! It was a long week for everyone in Europe, but now the PlayStation 5 is out pretty much all over the world and we can finally enjoy it together. Well, assuming you were able to find one, of course. Sammy Barker, Editor: Frankly it’s been an exhausting month or so, so I’m looking forward to...

America joins the next-gen party
It’s our first post-PlayStation 5 WAYP, but spare a thought for our European readers, who still have an additional week to wait.

Another week comes to a conclusion, and you know what that means? PlayStation 5 is now one week closer to release!

Another weekend closer to PS5
As another week concludes, we’ve learned a bunch more about the PlayStation 5 and its various features. Gone are the days where Sony kept us in the dark, because it’s had quite a rhythm these past few weeks, and we now know all of the essentials about Sony’s console. Good stuff!

It's about time
It’s been a much quieter week in the PlayStation Nation after the theatrics of the Bethesda buyout last time around, so there’s no real need for escapism this time around. Nevertheless, with the weather turning bad, we’re looking forward to some time inside with our favourite games. Sammy Barker, Editor: I can't seem to...

The weekend after the PS5 showcase
We go into this weekend knowing the PS5’s price and release date, which was information we had no idea about last time out. As such, we can’t help but feel some sense of relaxation, as we settle down for our Saturday and Sunday gaming sessions. Sammy Barker, Editor: I don’t expect to be doing much gaming...

Hawk stuff
A strange week has come to a conclusion, in which we learned pretty much everything about Microsoft’s next-gen launch plans, but nary a word from Sony. Nada. Nacht. Nevertheless, there’s still tons of gaming to be done on PlayStation 4 for now, so here’s what’s keeping us busy this weekend. Sammy Barker, Editor: After reviewing...

Football and Fall Guys
The nights are drawing in and the weather’s really turned here in the UK, which means that summer is gradually coming to a close.

Rest and relaxation
Another week has come to its conclusion, and it’s been a quiet one when it comes to PlayStation news. Sure we got the PS5’s first ever commercial, but it’s been dismal other than that.

It’s another roasting weekend in the UK at least, so we’re thinking of cooking our eggs on the pavement tomorrow morning.

And thus concludes another week. If you're here in the UK, then you'll have spent much of your time claiming it's "too hot", even though you've been complaining about the cooler temperatures for the remainder of the year.

Three-hundred-and-thirty-three issues of What Are You Playing This Weekend? You better believe it. They say three's a magic number, so 333 has to be pretty special, right?
