What are we all playing this weekend?
This is a lighthearted weekly feature from Rock Paper Shotgun in which the site's staff share what they're playing over the weekend, as the arrival of cooler September weather makes gaming more comfortable. It's a light, conversational piece rather than hard news, inviting readers to share their own weekend plans in the comments.
Contributors mention a range of games: Mark is switching between NBA 2K27 and Crusader Kings 3, Jeremy continues playing The Blood of Dawnwalker, and James is dipping into parkour game Vholume while also planning to try Wardogs, as is Edwin. Ollie shares an update about two new cats in his life alongside his gaming plans, and the piece closes with a jokey aside about three staff members' PCs all breaking down at once.

Mark, Jeremy, James, Edwin and Ollie are staff writers at Rock Paper Shotgun, a video games website known for its regular weekend round-up feature asking what the team plans to play in their spare time. These pieces are personal and informal rather than reviews or news reports, typically mentioning a mix of newly released games and older favourites the writers are returning to.
This particular instalment falls at the start of autumn, with cooler weather often nudging people towards spending more time indoors gaming. The games mentioned span several genres, from sports simulation and historical strategy to fantasy role-playing and parkour-style action, reflecting the variety of tastes among the site's contributors.
The feature is designed to be a conversation starter, with readers usually invited to share what they themselves are playing over the weekend in the comments section below.
