Because you can sleep when you're dead.

You've probably spent your weekends hogging the game console at the local mall while growing up, much to the chagrin of your parents.

Xbox, who isn't your mother, doesn't care. It wants you to play all day long, and all night for a lucky few, in its Stay N' Play pop-up in Sydney, Australia.

Launching on Friday, the pop-up will be open for walk-ins 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. until Sunday for hours of "unhindered" gaming action, because you're an adult who can do whatever the hell you like with your time now.

There's 4K TVs, Dolby Atmos enabled headsets, and of course a full selection of games to help you pour all those precious hours down the drain.

As the Stay N' Play name lets on, there's a suite with a bed and a concierge to bring you games. However, bookings filled up within hours when they went on sale last week. You'll just have to sleep instead.

The Stay N' Play is, of course, a promotion for the imminent release of the Xbox One X, which launches on Nov. 7. For those who have things to do are too far away for the Stay N' Play, here's what it looks like.
