EA Sports College Football 26

EA Sports College Football 26 is finally back in action after a long break from the spotlight. The Deluxe Edition gives players early access starting July 7, with the standard launch set for July 10. The game brings in all 136 FBS schools, thousands of real athletes, and an authentic college football experience that builds off the Madden engine while adding its own flair. Players can chase the Heisman in Road to Glory, build powerhouse programs in Dynasty Mode, or take on rivals in competitive online play. This one is optimized for Xbox Series X|S and not available on Xbox One.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4

The wait is over. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is officially rolling out starting July 8 for Digital Deluxe Edition owners. Full release lands July 11. It’s the latest update in the beloved skateboarding series and brings remastered visuals, expanded skater rosters, new trick combos, and fresh parks. Whether you're chasing high scores or just reliving the nostalgia, it’s a welcome return to form. The game is included with Game Pass, supports Smart Delivery, and is optimized for Xbox Series X|S.

Missile Command Delta

Launching July 8, Missile Command Delta gives the iconic arcade game a modern twist. This new take swaps the frantic arcade pace for turn-based tactical decision-making, where players defend cities from missile attacks using calculated moves and limited defenses. Developed by 13AM Games and Mighty Yell in partnership with Atari, the game offers a deeper and more strategic version of the 1980s classic. It’s built for Xbox Series X|S and includes Smart Delivery support.

Somber Echoes

Somber Echoes arrives on July 8 with a mix of ancient mythology and sci-fi wrapped in Metroidvania design. Players explore a crumbling spacecraft as a mythic warrior with a mechanical arm, unlocking abilities and navigating deep interconnected levels. Expect stylish combat, tight platforming, and a mysterious story that gradually unfolds. It’s exclusive to Xbox Series X|S platforms and fully optimized.

The Last Camp

Also landing July 8, The Last Camp throws you into a chaotic, twin-stick shooter set in a dark, ruined world. Packed with a variety of weapons, hordes of enemies, and a bleak visual style, the game focuses on fast-paced combat and environmental exploration. If you’re a fan of top-down shooters like Nex Machina or Enter the Gungeon, this one’s worth a look.

Ah, Love! Season 2

For something more chill, Ah, Love! Season 2 returns July 8 with new levels and mechanics. The series continues its quirky block-swapping puzzles where players guide hearts to meet in the middle. Some stages now include “love zones” where hearts must land to complete the level, adding a new layer to the familiar mechanics. This one’s simple but surprisingly clever, and it’s optimized for Xbox Series X|S.

Minami Lane

Launching July 9, Minami Lane is a relaxing sim where you manage a charming Japanese-inspired street. You’ll build shops, customize storefronts, and create a cozy neighborhood. It’s perfect for players looking for something low-pressure but rewarding. Short play sessions, polished visuals, and ambient music make it a solid pick for fans of Dorfromantik or Spiritfarer. It’s a day-one Game Pass release and works across Xbox and Windows PC via Play Anywhere.

Rogue Raccoon

Coming July 9, Rogue Raccoon follows a hungry raccoon breaking into a museum after hours. The gameplay leans into stealth, light platforming, and simple combat as you sneak past guards and avoid traps. It’s a bite-sized adventure with humor and charm, offering a break from more intense releases this week.

Holdfast: Nations At War

Holdfast: Nations At War drops July 9 with large-scale multiplayer warfare inspired by real-world history. You can join the frontlines in battles from the Napoleonic era or World War I, featuring land and naval combat with over 150 players per server. Whether you’re coordinating cannon fire or charging across trenches, the game aims to capture the chaos of war. It’s optimized for Xbox Series X|S and built for online play.

Tiny Pixels Vol. 2: Stormy Knights

Tiny Pixels Vol. 2: Stormy Knights lands July 9 and continues the series’ pixel art side-scrolling action. This time you’re storming castles, rescuing princesses, and battling themed enemies with real-time combat. The retro style and tight controls make it a throwback worth checking out. It supports Play Anywhere and is optimized for Series X|S.

Greedland

Launching July 10, Greedland is a top-down shooter that drops you into a battlefield swarming with alien creatures. Think Vampire Survivors meets Crimsonland, with waves of thousands of enemies and an arsenal of weapons to keep them at bay. You can go solo or team up in co-op, with new upgrades unlocking as you survive longer runs. The game is optimized for Xbox Series X|S and offers local and online multiplayer.

Islanders: New Shores

Islanders: New Shores lands July 10, offering a follow-up to the original minimalist city-builder. This sequel keeps the relaxing core gameplay but expands on it with new islands, building types, and more strategic depth. If you’re looking for something zen, it’s a perfect cooldown option between heavier titles.

Bad End Theater

Dropping July 10, Bad End Theater is a visual novel where every path leads to a bad ending. With multiple perspectives and storylines that impact one another, the game encourages you to replay scenarios and experiment with decisions. It’s dark, weird, and strangely compelling, especially for fans of branching narratives.

Best Served Cold

Launching July 10, Best Served Cold combines cocktail crafting with noir storytelling. Set during Prohibition, you play as a bar owner uncovering a murder mystery through conversations and drink-making. It’s stylish, story-driven, and blends light management mechanics with detective gameplay.

Choice of Life: Wild Islands

Also arriving July 10, Choice of Life: Wild Islands is a narrative survival game where your choices are made through cards. Each decision affects how the story plays out as you try to survive on a deserted island. The game mixes simple strategy with visual novel storytelling, offering something unique in the survival space.

Bendy and the Dark Revival

Bendy and the Dark Revival launches July 11 and continues the inky horror saga from Bendy and the Ink Machine. Expect first-person survival gameplay, puzzles, and creepy encounters with the Ink Demon as you unravel the secrets of the animation studio. The art style and atmosphere are still a major draw here.

Only Up to Space

Only Up to Space arrives July 11 with a simple but brutally challenging idea. You play as an astronaut climbing a massive vertical obstacle course. One fall sends you all the way back to the beginning. It’s a rage game in the style of Getting Over It, so get ready for frustration and triumph in equal measure.

Aquapark IO

Also launching July 11, Aquapark IO brings competitive waterslide racing to Xbox. Push opponents off the track, use power-ups, and try to make it to the pool first. It’s chaotic and fun, with solo and multiplayer modes.

Canine

Canine arrives July 11 and takes players into a 32-bit horror experience where you’re searching for your missing dog in a strange town. Inspired by PS1-era visuals, the game leans into psychological tension and slow-burn storytelling.

Griffin

Dropping July 11, Griffin follows a young pilot navigating a warzone in a tank-like mech to rescue her grandfather. Expect heavy action, strategic movement, and a story-driven campaign with stylized visuals.

Island Trouble

Rounding out the week, Island Trouble also launches July 11. You’re stranded and need to craft tools, build shelter, and survive while uncovering the island’s secrets. It’s a solo-focused survival experience that leans more into crafting and exploration than combat.
