Sure, here it is:
Alright, so, buckle up folks ’cause next week on Xbox is… well, kind of nuts. Seriously, there’s a lineup of games coming for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and, yep, Game Pass too. Are release dates reliable? Pfft. Who knows. Anyway, let’s dive into the crazy mess, shall we?
EA SPORTS™ College Football 26 Deluxe Edition: Okay, so, early access kicks off July 7, and the whole shebang launches by July 10. It’s optimized for Xbox Series X|S, whatever that means. Here’s your chance to relive those college football glory days—if that was ever a thing for you. I never participated in sports, so like, yeah. Choose your own adventure: high school recruit, Heisman star, or a coach. Got 136 schools and a bajillion plays waiting for you. Deluxe version means you jump in 3 days early. ‘Cause some folks just can’t wait.
Tony Hawk’s™ Pro Skater™ 3 + 4 – Digital Deluxe Edition: Skating? It’s back, and kind of everywhere. Activision throws in this combo pack for ya. Remind me, did any of us ever learn to ollie in real life? Looks like Xbox Play Anywhere is a thing here too. $69.99. Deep breaths…maybe worth it just to hear “Superman” by Goldfinger on repeat.
Missile Command Delta: July 8. Atari classics reimagined, with missiles and cities to protect and stuff. It’s tactical, turn-based, and basically sounds like stress in a box. But hey, who doesn’t love a good challenge? Mighty Yell and 13AM Games, you guys, what a combo.
Somber Echoes: Also dropping on July 8. We’re talking Metroidvania vibes, sort of. Rock Pocket Games says it’s all myth-inspired aboard a decayed space vessel. Combat’s acrobatic, so stretching beforehand is recommended… maybe just mentally. Also, make sure ancient secrets don’t freak ya out.
The Last Camp: July 8 continues to roll ’em out. A doomsday shooter with a ton of stuff to explode. NiuGamer says there’s a rich weapon system and whatnot. Sure, because nothing says “fun” like the end of the world, right?
Ah, Love! Season 2: Hearts, dates, don’t step on the spikes kind of deal, releasing July 8. Super quirky yet oddly addictive. Xitilon keeps things challenging, and maybe frustrating? (But in a good way, like love itself. Sorry, got philosophical there.)
Minami Lane: Welcome to cozy town out on July 9. In this sim, you build a street, make villagers happy, and somehow manage chaos. 2 to 4 hours of pure cute overload with plenty of cats. Tanukis, too! Seaven Studio nailed the vibes.
Rogue Raccoon: Also on July 9. Because sneaky raccoons raiding galleries for food is perfectly normal, obviously. Afil Games wraps up stellarly silly platforming with mischief. You can almost hear the stealth theme from Pink Panther while reading this.
Holdfast: Nations At War: A wild multiplayer frenzy, landing July 9. Napoleonic Era and WW1? Why choose one when you can have both? Battle your heart out with 150 players all up in your screen from Anvil Game Studios.
Tiny Pixels Vol. 2 – Stormy Knights: July 9 rides the pixel wave. Storm castles, rescue princesses, retro tunes… honestly, this Eastasiasoft release checks all the nostalgia boxes. Remember when 8-bit graphics were cutting-edge? Yeah, me neither.
Greedland: Coming July 10 with alien mutant mayhem. Outnumbered? Try overwhelmed—designed for up to 20,000 enemies per game, which sounds stressfully entertaining. E-Home Entertainment keeps the chaos in co-op mode.
ISLANDERS: New Shores: On July 10, island living without Instagram! This minimalist City-building sim has charm for miles. Build your dream space, because even pixels need love.
BAD END THEATER: Out July 10. Making bad decisions everywhere with Serenity Forge. Toggle, twist, and try for a not-bad ending, yet each choice seems destined for doom. Who doesn’t adore a challenge wrapped in catastrophe?
Best Served Cold: On July 10, check out this speakeasy murder mystery. Cocktail mixing meets crime busting. I tip my metaphoric fedora to Rogueside NV for blending drama and drinks.
Choice of Life: Wild Islands: Dropping July 10, it’s you versus nature in this visual novel. Adventure and cards, sort of like poker but with potential doom on the line. Survival is tricky, especially for Upscale Studio’s sailor story.
Bendy and the Dark Revival: July 11 brings horror chills, ’cause clearly, we missed Bendy. This sequel heads back into the spine-tingling ink madness. Audrey leads, puzzles wait, and survival is never guaranteed. Joey Drew Studios? You got us hooked again.
Only Up To Space: Ascend upwards on July 11. Astronauts, you’ll need nerves of steel—or NASA should probably issue warnings. Samustai LTD delivers platform madness, hope you’re not afraid of heights.
Aquapark IO: July 11, ready, set, slide! Multiplayer waterslide races are surprisingly fun—and competitive. Splash away, push friends down. (Sorry, not sorry.)
Canine: July 11 continues with creepy, horror vibes. Dolores Entertainment traps us in retro-styled nightmares as you save Tomy, the dog. All feels totally intense and brings back memories of low-res terror.
Griffin: Ready July 11, tanks and tackling foes in this action title. Ratalaika Games S.L. just keeps the energy going. Who knew granddaughters in tanks made for epic rescues?
Island Trouble: Last but not least, on July 11, Webnetic s. r. o. challenges you to survive island escapades in a topsy-turvy paradise. Decisions matter, my friends! Just don’t trust the coconuts.
Phew. There it is, a wild ride through all the new gaming whatnots. Pick a few, or dive into everything. Somehow it seems your next week might be booked solid. Enjoy!
