We've posted 'weekend news' for years but been sliding towards loosening up the format, better reflecting a weekend vibe. Now it's official.

I'm excited to, and especially with our new weekend editor: Jay Castello.

You'll have seen her writing on RPS before, from this year's Free 3 selection to the complicated fandom around Overwatch player "Geguri". Jay, say hullo!
