Play Titanfall for free on PC this weekend

Add as a preferred source on Google

You can play Respawn Entertainment’s robot-riding shooter Titanfall for free via Origin this weekend, compliments of EA. It’s the first game featured in the publisher and Origin gatekeeper’s new Game Time promotion, which provides rotating, free access to popular titles in the EA stable. The announcement notably comes right as Valve launches its notorious Summer Sale for Origin’s primary competition, Steam.

Once installed via Origin’s Free Games page and launched, the Game Time clock starts ticking down in real time, giving you 48 hours to get in on the wall-running, Titan-blasting fun. That clock continues whether you are playing or not, so be careful to only start when you’ve got a chunk of time to commit. The game is otherwise completely unrestricted while the clock is ticking, and your progress is saved even after the time runs out. You can pick up exactly where you left off, should you choose to buy the game.

If you already own Titanfall, this is either a great time or a terrible time to suit up and get back in the action, depending on how you feel about a flood of new pilots swarming the servers.

Titanfall is just the beginning of Game Time, so keep your eyes peeled for announcements of other games with different time limits coming in the future.

Modern Warfare 4 brings Call of Duty back to its glory days. I hope the streak lives.
Infinity Ward’s latest campaign goes back to Call of Duty’s roots and recaptures what made me a fan more than a decade ago.

The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.

After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.

Epic MegaJam 2026

Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.

Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”

It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.

Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
