Welcome to a chaotic, somewhat jumbled ode to — drumroll, please — the Next Week on Xbox! Wow, that sounded way more dramatic than intended. But really, this is the go-to mess for what’s about to hit your Xbox world across Series X|S, One, PC, and all that jazz. Dive in below, if you dare.
First off, EA SPORTS™ College Football 26 Deluxe Edition (Try saying that five times fast) is coming at you. It’s from Electronic Arts, and honestly, the details… they escape me, but early access starts July 7, with the big global thingamajig on July 10. Fancy features? Tons of schools, coaches, and exploding football action or something — it’s madness. A glorious mess, but potentially strategic, who knows?
And oh, goodness— Tony Hawk’s™ Pro Skater™ 3 + 4 – Digital Deluxe Edition is gliding in from Activision. Do people even skate anymore? Frankly, my knees hurt just thinking about it.
Then there’s Missile Command Delta, dropping on July 8 from Atari. Imagine: high-pressure, incoming missile chaos! A throwback, maybe? It’s tactical. Kind of sounds like life sometimes.
Now entering: Somber Echoes from Rock Pocket Games. Launching July 8, it’s acrobatics, space, and secrets. This Metroidvania game feels like a riddle wrapped in a mystery. Ancient secrets, forsaken ships — cue dramatic space music.
Zooming in next: The Last Camp by NiuGamer. July 8. Spin, shoot, scream — do you need a map? Maybe. It’s doomsday, with graphics all shiny and world maps all grand. Shoot stuff, have fun (if that’s your thing).
Ah, Love! Let’s take a turn to romance. Coming July 8, orchestrated by Xitilon. Swap blocks, avoid spikes, get hearts together without shattering your own. Maybe there’s a metaphor in there somewhere.
Minami Lane is your cozy sim hitting on July 9 from Seaven Studio. Manage your street, your life, maybe? Watch cats. Tanukis, too.
And here’s Rogue Raccoon coming on July 9. Afil Games brings you a sneaky heist — because raccoons gotta eat. Expect chaos, mischief, and cute fury. Well, someone had to provide some moral support for these creatures.
Holdfast: Nations At War marches in July 9. Napoleonic wars? Check. Over 150 players, fracas aplenty. Like a history class with a serious adrenaline rush.
Lands next is tiny, pixelated chaos with Tiny Pixels Vol. 2 – Stormy Knights. July 9. Slicing, dicing, pixel-style. Strategy and castles. A medieval moosh.
Greedland by E-Home Entertainment arrives July 10. A place to destroy things en masse. Enemies galore — over 20,000! Friendly neighborhood co-op chaos for the daring.
ISLANDERS: New Shores is another chill game, July 10 from Coatsink, Thunderful Publishing. Build your city, chill with some beautiful visuals. Relax or strategize. Your choice.
On a different beat, BAD END THEATER on July 10 by Serenity Forge. Dark, twisty, and none of the paths lead anywhere nice. Kind of like most of my attempts at assembling IKEA furniture.
With chills and thrills, Best Served Cold lands July 10, courtesy of Rogueside NV. It’s a cocktail mixer murder mystery in a speakeasy. Liquor, not-so-discreet crimes, and fun magnolia sin flowers.
Choice of Life: Wild Islands via Upscale Studio, July 10. A card game, a shipwreck, stranded on an island. Decisions, decisions. Better pack your pirate hat.
Stay a while, Bendy and the Dark Revival – July 11 by Joey Drew Studios. Engage in a curious animation studio’s puzzle-filled spookfest.
Strapped for space? Only Up To Space by Samustai LTD on July 11. Work those platform hopes and wipe those astronaut tears.
Slides into view: Aquapark io on July 11, QubicGames S.A. Bring on the water madness—accidentally push someone?: bonus points.
Canine lands (paws first?) July 11 by Dolores Entertainment. Fear, horror, grab your flashlight, and rescue that beloved pet from nefarious labs.
Griffin rolls in July 11, from Ratalaika Games S.L. Destruction and heroism packaged with armor in a powerful tank! Battle away!
Finally, woo Island Trouble, July 11, thanks to Webnetic s. r. o. Decisions matter. Life’s full of deserted island challenges.
There. Gosh. So that’s Xbox’s wild offering. Phew. Keep on gaming, frenetic style!
