Now Loading...What Will You Be Playing This Christmas Gaming 2016 Weekend?

In just a few short days, Christmas will finally sweep in and bring with it, a ton of food, presents, family members, and possibly the best one of all, lots of free time that you can spend any which way you like.

While some of us here on PlayStation LifeStyle do get paid to play games or write about gaming news, finding the time to actually play the games we want to play (as opposed as need to play) is surprisingly scarce. However, with the Christmas holidays coming in, we’ll get some free time to do some gaming and maybe spend some time with the family. Just what games will the staff members be playing this Christmas? Read on.

What’s your gaming schedule for this holiday weekend? Will you be clearing your backlog, jumping on to play some multiplayer or no gaming at all and spending some quality time with friends and family? Whichever way you’ll be spending it, we here at PlayStation LifeStyle wish everyone a fantastic Christmas!

Don’t forget, we’ll still be updating all next week with end-of-year specials, news and more! So make sure to check the site even leading up to New Year’s.

Now Loading is a recurring staff-driven feature where PlayStation LifeStyle discusses anything video game-related under the sun (yes, even non-Sony platforms.

Final Fantasy XV mostly, with a side helping of LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 and Overwatch. Also might try finishing episode 5 of Telltale Batman.

Going to finish Rise of the Tomb Raider by this weekend and that's about it. Haven't really bought anything new since October. Maybe I'll pick up The Last Guardian.

More Final Fantasy XV (there's so many side quests I haven't done!) and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies. Hopefully Pokemon Moon as well if Santa gives me what I asked for...

FFXV for me! Although I've a sneaking feeling my roommate has bought me Infinite Warfare, so a quick trip to space with Jon Snow may also be on the cards.

I'm going to be doing a little bit of Final Fantasy XV, The Last Guardian, Overwatch, and Destiny. Gotta get time with everything to get all those holiday events goodies before they're gone forever.

Probably The Walking Dead, Titanfall 2, Stardew Valley, ARK: Survival Evolved, and Let's Assemble Children's Gifts™ with my younger brothers-in-law, accompanied with my daily ritual of No Man's Sky.

It's not the most festive choice but I can't stop playing DOOM. Over the holiday, I plan on beating the game and chasing whatever trophies are attainable.

I'm going to smoke some dank kush and kill muertos in The Walking Dead: A New Frontier. Other than that, I'm going to freshen up on SMITE, and play some Persona 5, since the lack of progress I've made in Atlus' latest release is kind of embarrassing.

@excaliburps

It's going to be some Titanfall 2 multiplayer, Battlefield 1 multiplayer, Rise of the Tomb Raider, The Last Guardian and The Walking Dead: A New Frontier for me! If I can scrounge up enough time, I'll play even more, but I doubt it given the wife and kids will want some attention.

And not only that, but we're still working this coming week and once 2017 rolls in, it starts all over again! Gah!

I'll be catching up on PlayStation VR titles, and earning double XP in Modern Warfare Remastered.
