Alright folks, let’s get into this. Next Week on Xbox is looking pretty packed — we’re talking Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Game Pass. Seriously, lots going on and release dates might do that sneaky shuffle they sometimes do. Alright, gear up, here’s what’s coming (and yeah, click those profiles if you need the nitty-gritty details. You do you).
First up, we’ve got EA SPORTS™ College Football 26 Deluxe Edition – EA’s getting all sporty with college football, launching early access on July 7. And a full-blown July 10 launch. Do you go all out with the Deluxe for early access? Choices, choices. Game’s optimized for Xbox Series X|S, and man, it’s about repping colors — 136 FBS schools, over 300 coaches, 2,700 plays. You know the drill. Get on it.
Now, let’s skate over to Tony Hawk’s™ Pro Skater™ 3 + 4 – Digital Deluxe Edition. Activision’s back to proving why we loved smashing pixels on skateboards back in the day. No exact release battle cry, but the vibes are strong. So, if nostalgia’s your jam, you know where to grind.
Missile Command Delta lands on July 8 — stop incoming destruction, no biggie. Atari fans, this is like a modern tactical-twist meets retro heartbeat. Apparently, it’s as strategic as it is frantic. Got my attention.
Here comes Somber Echoes also on July 8. This one’s for the curious explorers, set in a myth-inspired Metroidvania setting. Space vessels and mysteries, folks. Can you — wait, lost my train of thought. Can you survive? Yeah… survive.
The Last Camp, doomsday never looked this good, hitting Xbox Series X|S on the same day. Sounds intense, right? Shooting game fans, bring your enthusiasm as you face high-quality graphics, a solid weapon system, and a massive world map.
Next, we drift into July 9 with Minami Lane. Gamers who dig management with a side of cute — yes, cute tanukis and cats are in — you’ll want to construct that Japanese-inspired tiny street. Should be a cozy break from your standard chaos.
Rogue Raccoon strolls in on the same day. A city’s most overprotected museum, sneakiest heist, and a crazy platforming journey for food. Platforms meet raccoons — what more is there to say?
Holdfast: Nations At War arrives July 9 too. Imagine historic battles in the Napoleonic Era — no less than 150 players per server! Uh, yes, please. Feel that Napoleonic rush.
Tiny Pixels Vol. 2: Stormy Knights, castle capers on July 9. This one’s castle invasion with some retro tunes. The pixel art’s likely to satisfy the nostalgics.
Fast-forward to July 10, we have Islanders: New Shores. Minimalist city-building is getting a new chapter. Gotta love that chill creativity mixed with strategy. Or do you?
Bad End Theater, another July 10 showcase of intertwined fates in desperate stories. You might get all the endings are bad, but trying out different paths never hurts, right?
July 10 continues with Best Served Cold — solving mysteries while mixing drinks! Sounds like something, doesn’t it? Solve ’em crimes like a pro at the Nightcap speakeasy.
Choice of Life: Wild Islands, same day, a visual novel card game with stranded sailor vibes. Survival’s the name of the game — quite literally here.
Bendy and the Dark Revival – Jump to July 11. Return to those eerie studio halls that absorbed so many hours. Solve puzzles and face inky enemies as you explore.
Only Up to Space hits on July 11 too. Skill-testing, platform-climbing fun. One wrong step and back you go!
Aquapark IO – same day, more chaos. Race down massive waterslide tracks, jostle with buddies, prove you’re the fastest. Not saying push everyone off, but it’s an option.
Canine, also July 11 — a horror tale of a boy, his missing dog, and an awful corporation. Saving Tomy might mean diving into the horror genre in a somewhat retro twist.
Then there’s Griffin, back on July 11 too. Battling big country bad guys with a tank, all in the name of rescuing granddad – sagas don’t get more personal, huh?
Lastly, Island Trouble – strife and secrets on an isolated paradise. Survive, build, solve mysteries. It’s coming July 11, and might just grip your adventuring soul.
There you go, folks! Play something, try something different, maybe just enjoy the chaos of upcoming Xbox madness.
