What's everyone gaming on this weekend?

The Setup

September is slipping away faster than anyone would like. With the calendar about to flip, the team at RPS is facing that familiar end-of-month squeeze: too many games on the go, too few unclaimed Saturdays left in the box. One editor is already eyeing the "wax seal" on October 2026 and not quite ready to crack it. So before the month disappears entirely, here's what everyone is actually playing this weekend.

What the Team Is Playing

Jeremy is spending the weekend helping his wife at a local creator's market, so gaming time will be scarce. Whatever hours he can carve out will go toward his slow, relaxing playthrough of Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen, meandering across its top-down maps.

Ollie is having a great time with Wardogs — but unfortunately won't get to play it. His PC is currently in pieces on the desk as he tries to identify which faulty component is causing serious problems. It's shaping up to be a frustratingly Wardogless weekend.

James is mopping up side gigs in Control Resonant, aided by Dylan's buffed-up fighting powers, before turning his attention back to Darktide. He's sharpening his skills ahead of the game's spooky boss fight update, which arrives on the 29th.

Julian is away visiting his partner's family for her brother's birthday. The plan, he's told, is a time-honoured one: order Chinese food and watch True Lies. He's apparently already earned brownie points for staying in a hotel that Schwarzenegger chases a baddie through on horseback. If he gets any time back on Sunday, he'll be starting Ace Combat 8.

The Verdict

Callum, Mark, and Edwin have their own theory: the weekend was invented by calendar makers to fill empty space on the page. A suspicious stance — the rest of the team suspects stolen days rattling around in their pockets.

That's the lineup for the last weekend of September. What about you, reader dear — what are you playing this weekend?
