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!

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! Sammy Barker, Editor: I dived...

The week after all the PS5 news
That concludes an absolutely colossal week of PlayStation 5 news. Are you feeling more knowledgeable than you were this time last weekend? We hope so! There’s almost a month until the system launches now, so let’s WAYP. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m playing Mortal Kombat 11 and FIFA 21. Unfortunately, I keep...

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...

And breathe
It’s been a pretty – how shall we put this? – tense week, hasn’t it?

Sammy Barker, Editor: I wanted to finally beat Grand Theft Auto V over the next week or...

Subscriber hype
What’s the October 2020 PlayStation Plus lineup? When will the free October 2020 PS Plus games be announced?

Regardless, it added...

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. Traditionally, this weekend would be a busy one because Gamescom should be in full flow, but 2020’s proved a wash-out and we’ve got a long Bank Holiday weekend to blitz through some reviews...

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. Fortunately, the weekend brings an opportunity to relax, unwind, and enjoy some games. Here’s what we’re playing this time. Sammy...

Break stuff
The time is moving faster than ever before, but here’s the positive: we’re one week closer to the PlayStation 5. Sony may be reluctant to date its new device, but we can be sure whenever it comes out, we’re getting closer every single day. Logic. Sammy Barker, Editor: I’m trying to wrap my head around some of the finer details...

Too fast
It’s another roasting weekend in the UK at least, so we’re thinking of cooking our eggs on the pavement tomorrow morning. Just kidding – that would violate the five second rule, and would probably ruin our fry-up. Sammy Barker, Editor: I don’t really know what’s happened to me lately, but I’ve found myself hooked on GTA...

Ghosted
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. Sammy Barker, Editor: I'm nearing the conclusion of Ghost of Tsushima, which is a fantastic game that only gets better...

Japanese retreat
Guess who's back? Back again! Sammy's back, er, let's WAYP?

333's a magic number
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? Let's hope so, because this weekend marks the launch of Sony's final PlayStation 4 exclusive: Ghost of Tsushima. We imagine a lot of our readers will be...

The one Barker skipped
What's this? A weekly issue of What Are You Playing This Weekend not penned by Push Square overlord Sammy Barker? That's right, he has scrapped his duties this weekend for a nice little getaway along the south coast of England. It's not like he can do too much down there, considering the current circumstances, but we'll still...

Something for the weekend
Have you finished The Last of Us 2 yet? It’s a difficult title to replace really, isn’t it? Fortunately, the promising Ghost of Tsushima is right around the corner. Some of us are already playing it.

Sun and games

Surprise us
Do we really need to even ask the question? Really? Our PlayStation 4 friends list is filled with The Last of Us 2, and we suspect it’s much the same for you, too. Whether or not the sequel breaks sales records is up for debate, but one thing’s for sure: it’s a monstrous release. Sammy Barker, Editor: Now that I’m done putting...

The weekend after PS5
Well, that was a crazy week, wasn’t it? We’ve now seen a bunch of PlayStation 5 games and the system itself. Of course, it’ll be a while before we get to play it, so we’re just going to have to make do with the PlayStation 4 for now. It’s a tough life. Sammy Barker, Editor: After playing The Last of Us: Part II for...

Get over here
Weekend? Again? It's been a bit of a weird week, hasn't it? But let's not linger on that for too long, and dig into your regularly scheduled WAYP.

The weekend before the PS5 reveal
The weeks are just flying by, aren’t they? If this were a normal year, we’d be beginning to think about E3 2020 right about now.

Forever alone
One response! Just one person replied to this week’s WAYP – the muppet who pens it every week.

Bank holiday
We’re midway into a Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK, and the weather has been beautiful so far.

Pick your poison
We don’t know what the weather’s like in your part of the world, but it’s beautiful here in Britain. It’s typical, then, that after over six months of wind and rain, none of us can go outside.

Leap year edition
The weather is abysmal and the threat of germs linger on the horizon. Why would anyone want to go outside at all? Fresh air?
