The weekend is here, which means it’s finally time to put your feet up and spend some quality time with friends. To do that, you’ll want some stellar games you can all enjoy together. We’ve had an ask around here at Overclockers UK to find out what games our team are planning on playing with their squad.
Read on to discover some great games you and your friends can enjoy together this weekend, as well as some excellent gaming PCs to play them on. Plus, we’ve thrown in some cheeky extras if you fancy treating yourself.
Dying Light 2: Stay Human
What better way to spend your weekend than free-running your way through the zombie apocalypse with your buddies? Dying Light 2: Stay Human lets you and three friends parkour about Villedor together online. Once one of you takes up hosting duties, you can run around the city as you see fit or join up to tackle quests.
While only the host player can proceed with quests, it’s still worth the time for the rest of the team. All the loot drops and contents of searchable containers will be localised for each of you. That means everyone gets their own XP, crafting materials, consumables, and gear without any fighting amongst yourselves.

Roller Champions
Playing sports with your friends sounds like a great way to spend your weekend. But what if you don’t have an athletic bone between you? Then Roller Champions it is! This 3v3 multiplayer title from Ubisoft will satisfy your need for high-octane competition without you needing to leave the house. What’s even better – it’s free-to-play and supports crossplay!
The aim of the game in Roller Champions is to score five points in the seven-minute time limit. To do this, you’ve got to get possession of the ball, skate a lap of the rink uninterrupted, and then throw the ball into the goal. You can earn more points by completing more laps but will have to pass and dodge to avoid tackles from opponents to do so. It’s a frantic combination of roller-skating, basketball, and ice hockey that creates the kind of chaotic fun that’s best enjoyed with friends.
