Another weekend is upon us, and you’re probably looking for some games to kill time with over the course of it. We’re in a bit of a lull right now ahead of a flurry of releases starting next week, so it’s a great time to dip back into the Xbox Game Pass catalog and check out some games that you may have missed. There are three games in particular that I think you should check out this weekend if you’re looking for something to play.
If you love Amazon’s Fallout, play the series’ best games on Game Pass and PS Plus next

The Fallout TV series just released on Amazon Prime, and it’s one of the best video game adaptations out there. It perfectly captures the tense, humorous feel of the postapocalyptic video game series while telling a new story with original characters. If you’ve just watched the show, you’re probably itching to play a Fallout title again or check out one of the games the series is based on for the first time. Thankfully, if you’re subscribed to one of the major video game subscription services, that’s very easy to do.
Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 are all on at least one gaming subscription service. While PC and Xbox players will be looking to Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation owners can get in on the fun with PS Plus Extra’s game catalog. We’ve combed through what’s available on PC Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass, and PS Plus Extra, and there’s no shortage of options. Here are the best starting points on each service.
PC Game Pass
Microsoft owns Bethesda Game Studios and the rights to the Fallout franchise, so PC Game Pass subscribers are in luck. Every mainline Fallout game ever released — with the exception of 2004’s Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel — is available on that platform. You’re spoiled for choice and will have the easiest time modding these games too. Although every Fallout game is worthwhile in its own way, I’d recommend that PC Game Pass subscribers try one of the Fallout games that are not playable anywhere else.

- Stop! You’ve got to grab this GTA-like classic before it leaves PS Plus next week
- One of Game Pass’ best titles leaves PC on August 15 and you don’t want to miss it
That list includes Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel, which Interplay made before Bethesda obtained the rights to the franchise. Of those three, your best option is Fallout 2 as it refines everything that made the first game special and is one of the best old-school CRPGs you can play today. Playing through Fallout 2 will reconnect you with the roots of these series and give you a greater appreciation for Bethesda and Amazon’s reinterpretations of this world.
Xbox Game Pass
Although Interplay’s Fallout games haven’t made their way to consoles, all of Bethesda’s entries are included in the console version of Xbox Game Pass. I recommend checking out Fallout: New Vegas first. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment (which Microsoft coincidentally owns ) and released in 2010, Fallout: New Vegas follows a courier looking for revenge in the Mojave Desert after being ambushed and left for dead. Considered the peak of Bethesda’s Fallout tenure, Fallout: New Vegas features

3 underrated PS Plus games you should play this weekend (May 3-5)
PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra have been around for almost two years, and during that time the subscription service has established itself as an ample competitor to Xbox Game Pass. That means there is a wealth of great games for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners to check out if they’re looking for something to play this weekend. I think PS Plus subscribers should be looking toward some of the more underrated games in the subscription service this weekend too.

What’s new in May 2024: 7 games that you need to play this month
On paper, May 2024 may look like a weak month for games. The biggest release of the month is Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, a big Xbox exclusive and follow-up to a 2018 horror action game about a woman suffering from psychosis. But if you enjoy experimental indies, this month may just bring your favorite game of 2024 when all is said and done. Developer Team Ninja is being backed up on the indie front, as INDIKA, Animal Well, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, and Crow Country are all delivering spooky experiences five months ahead of Halloween.

Funko Fusion mashes up The Thing, Hot Fuzz, Nope, and much more
I grew up adoring Lego video games, but recent efforts from TT Games like The Skywalker Saga just haven’t gelled with me. That’s why Funko Fusion piqued my interest. It’s the first release from 10:10 Games, a studio founded by TT Games founder Jon Burton and former TT Games Head of Design Arthur Parsons, and is a video game about a popular set of toys themed around certain properties. I got an early look at Funko Fusion ahead of its September 13 release date announcement, and what I saw was equal parts weird and ambitious.

3 things I want in Fallout 5 after watching Amazon’s Fallout series
Fallout has been the watercooler TV show this month, an impressive feat for a video game adaptation. Although Bethesda doesn’t have any new Fallout games to release alongside it, the Amazon Prime series has reinvigorated interest in Fallout, with all its titles seeing notable player count increases. For now, we’ll have to be content with a Fallout 4 current-gen upgrade, but I’ll admit that my mind is drifting to thinking about Fallout 5.
