We’re back with our weekend recommendations and a quick look at the biggest stories that shaped the week. If you’re gearing up for next week’s Resident Evil release or just looking for something to sink time into, we’ve highlighted a few smart choices to play right now.

  • Resident Evil Requiem arrives next week — replay Resident Evil 2 (2019) to reacquaint yourself with Leon and Raccoon City as the best short-term prep.
  • Slay the Spire 2 announced four-player co-op and an early access window in March, so consider revisiting the original roguelike or lining up friends for the sequel.
  • Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are coming digitally to Switch and Switch 2 next week, making this a solid nostalgia weekend for GBA-era trainers.
  • The industry saw major leadership and studio news: Phil Spencer’s retirement and executive shifts at Microsoft Gaming, plus PlayStation’s decision to close Bluepoint Games — all developments worth watching for future platform plans.
  • Nier: Automata has topped 10 million sales and teased a continuation, so now’s a good time to replay or catch up if you want context for whatever comes next.
