Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 563

We're deep into January now, which means we can finally stop saying those three little words: Happy New Year. There. That's the last time you'll read it. Thank goodness!

Aaron Bayne

After blitzing the first season of the show in a day, I'm now buckling down for my tenth playthrough of The Last of Us: Part 1. That's right, tenth! I'm hoping to do my first proper back-to-back of both Part 1 and The Last of Us: Part 2 Remastered ahead of the show's second season debuting in April.

Jamie O'Neill

I have both my PS3 and PS4 hooked up to the same telly, so I plan to play the January 2025 PS Plus Essential offering of PS4 Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, alongside my PS3 disc of the 2010 original. This means I can pretend that Criterion made a Chase H.Q. game.

Sammy Barker

I'm going to be away from my PS5 for a few days, so I'll be keeping myself occupied with my favourite mobile games.

Stephen Tailby

I'm still chipping away at Hitman, and really liking it. I'm currently in the final stretch of the second game's campaign, so I'll aim to wrap that up this weekend before delving into Hitman 3's story or replaying previous levels.

That's what we're playing this weekend, then, but what about the rest of you. As always, let us know your gaming itinerary in the comments section below.
