Hit superhero workplace comedy game Dispatch will finally land on Xbox this month, developer AdHoc Studio has announced.
Dispatch will touch down on Microsoft's machine in two weeks, on Wednesday, July 29, and you can wishlist it via the Xbox Store right now. Its launch comes the best part of a year since it began rolling out on PC and PlayStation 5 last October.
A Switch 2 version arrived in January of this year, though its debut was marred by the unexpected addition of last-minute censorship. A patch last month largely alleviated the issue — and at the time, it was confirmed that the Xbox version would not suffer a similar fate.
Developed by veterans of The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us studio Telltale Games, Dispatch...

Sony has confirmed the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for July 2026, which is headlined by Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Rise of the Ronin, and two PS2 classics.
It’s worth remembering that Sony is still experimenting with the timing of new PS Plus game releases, which means the games will be released on varying dates throughout the month in the U.S., the UK and Japan. The full lineup will be available to play on July 21 in all other regions.
Here’s the lineup, courtesy of the PlayStation Blog.
PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium | Game Catalog
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora | PS5 - available globally July 21
Rise of the Ronin | PS5 - available today, July 15 in the U.S. and the UK, and July 16 in Japan
Firefighting Simulator: Ignite |...
Fresh from his epic journey home after the Trojan War, Matt Damon's Odysseus has one more trip planned: riding the battle bus into Fortnite.
That's right, the hero of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey will land in Epic Games' battle royale item shop tomorrow, Thursday, July 16, following the game's next big update. That's the same one that's adding England legend David Beckham, as well as a slew of Batman characters in swimsuits.
Epic Games has shown off footage of Odysseus' skin in action — and yes, it's clearly based on the likeness of Matt Damon.
Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR has also posted an image of a second The Odyssey skin, that of the hulking Agamemnon, played by Benny Safdie in the movie.
If you fancy trying your luck at...
Sometimes, a game comes along that makes you think “man, this is so up my alley it’s like it was made just for me.” Denshattack is one of those games. It’s the kind of joint we used to get all the time in the PS2 era and is now only found in the indie space. Video games are serious business, you know, and we don’t have time for nonsense. Denshattack is definitely nonsense, but I mean that as the highest possible compliment. Here’s the pitch: What if Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater did the Dragon Ball fusion dance with Jet Set Radio, but instead of skating you pilot a train around a dystopian Japan in order to do sick tricks and take down an evil corporation? Sounds rad as hell, right? Turns out, it is. Two thoughts ran on a loop while I was...
New details about Whore of the Orient, the canceled spiritual successor to LA Noire, have been revealed by a former writer on the project.
I recently sat down with Daniel McMahon, a writer who worked on LA Noire for a YouTube video celebrating the game's recent 15th anniversary. In the second half of the video, we dove deep on Whore of the Orient, a controversial game that would've served as a spiritual successor to LA Noire. The game was in the works at Kennedy Miller-Mitchell, the production company of the Mad Max films, and was being worked on by ex-Team Bondi staff, including LA Noire writer and director Brendan McNamara.
It would've been yet another historical crime story, but this time set in Shanghai in the 1930s. McMahon...
Two classics from Tim Burton's filmography are getting 4K steelbooks this year: Sleepy Hollow and Sweeney Todd. The former is actually a steelbook reprint, so if you've been hoping to have it in your library, now is the time to grab it.
Both steelbooks are now available to preorder for $34.99 with a release date of September 22, which is just a couple of months away. Don't wait too long to place your order, though, as steelbooks like these can sell out fast. So, head to the links below to grab your favorite(s), before that happens.
Preorder Sleepy Hollow 4K Steelbook
This limited-edition steelbook reprint of Sleepy Hollow - which features quite a fun, dramatic cover you can see below - comes with the film on 4K, Blu-ray, and digital...
It may be 25 years old now, but Halo’s first installment still has the power to wow. Combat Evolved is packed full of awesome moments: the first view of the titular ringworld arching above you, the Covenant swarming onto the Pillar of Autumn, and driving a warthog through vast Forerunner structures. And as you push forward through Master Chief’s debut mission, there’s the sense of a rich universe being teased, whether its ancient civilisations or the extent of humanity's reach across the galaxy. The series' founder, Bungie, created a universe with so much intrigue that its expanded universe was able to begin before the first game even launched – the beloved prequel novel, The Fall of Reach, was published a couple of weeks ahead of...
Striking staff at Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced co-developer Ubisoft Barcelona have slammed the company's initial severance pay offer as "below any resonable standard," after employees were told that up to 51 jobs were being eliminated.
Layoffs at Ubisoft Barcelona were announced last month as part of a wider wave of job losses across the firm. 380 staff are being let go in this latest downsizing, spread across Ubisoft offices in Winnipeg and Belgrade (which will close completely), in Barcelona, and in the company's global publishing division.
At Ubisoft Barcelona, up to 51 jobs have been placed at risk as Ubisoft plans to cut the team's size and restrict it to working just on the Rainbow Six franchise in future, IGN...
Microsoft has pulled Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 from July 2026 Xbox Game Pass lineup, without offering an explanation.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 was due to hit Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass on July 21, but a note added to the Game Pass post on Xbox Wire confirms its removal from the lineup. It reads:
“Editor’s Note (7/13): We’ve removed Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 from the list of titles coming soon to Game Pass.”
It’s worth noting that Microsoft owns Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 via its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, so it’s in complete control of publishing the title. Indeed, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 was added to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass this time last year, and Game Pass...
Forza Horizon 6 developer Playground Games has confirmed all the fresh content coming to the game over the next four weeks, some of which will be arriving within the Horizon Playlist Series 3, and some of which is coming alongside it.
Series 3, dubbed ‘Italian Exotics,’ will run from June 16 to August 13. Playground has confirmed 10 cars that will be available to collect over the next four weeks, three of which are new-to-Horizon. They are listed below:
1984 De Tomaso Pantera GT5 (earn 20 points during the Summer Season)
2004 Maserati MC12 (earn 40 points during the Summer Season)
2017 Abarth 124 Spider (earn 20 points during the Autumn Season)
2020 Lamborghini Huracán EVO (earn 40 points during the Autumn Season)

The essence of The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu as a co-op survival horror game is best captured by a moment where I was yelling at my friend repeatedly asking what the hell he was laughing about before being brutally murdered. You see, this was not my friend at all, but a Faceless One using his character model and repeatedly playing back his recorded laughter from earlier in the match. But when it comes to making me feel like I've lost my mind, The Mound’s clever madness effects sometimes take a backseat to ruthless difficulty that doesn't always respect my time or make it easy to bring in new allies.
It took more than 50 expeditions and around 50 hours of scouring the beautiful Chilean wilderness to unbury all the secrets of The Mound's...
Dead Space creator Glen Schofield has announced his retirement from the "day to day work" of the gaming industry.
Schofield took to LinkedIn to break the news with an emotional video, thanking his fans, colleagues, and the industry for supporting him throughout his career. He also took a moment to acknowledge that, although the industry is experiencing a lot of hardships right now, there are still great minds making great games.
Schofield didn't give an explicit reason for his retirement, but he has had a successful 35-year run in the industry. After beginning as an artist, Schofield climbed the ranks before becoming a producer at EA, where he contributed to James Bond and Lord of the Rings games. After his work on Bond, EA gave him...
A brand new Halo multiplayer game has been scrapped, according to sources.
A popular Halo YouTuber known as Rebs Gaming has reported that a new multiplayer project set in the beloved sci-fi universe was recently cancelled. This report was also backed up by Windows Central's Jez Corden, who stated that the news was "100% true."
The new game was codenamed 'Ekur,' and was being worked on by Certain Affinity, a studio that has done a lot of support work on previous Halo and Call of Duty titles. The game's origins began in a totally different project known as 'Tatanka,' which was a battle royale-esque Halo game.
However, that was scrapped in favor of Ekur, which was described as a "super big team battle idea," pulling from Halo's history...
Hunters, rejoice! Capcom is slashing the price of Monster Hunter Wilds and introducing new DLC bundles — but certain versions of the game are disappearing.
Starting August 4, the Monster Hunter Wilds Deluxe Edition, the Monster Hunter Wilds Premium Deluxe Edition, and the Monster Hunter Wilds Cosmetic DLC Pass will no longer be available for purchase.
However, this means that new bundles are on the way. Monster Hunter Wilds Gold Edition, the Monster Hunter Wilds Cosmetic DLC Collection, and the Monster hunter Wilds Extras Cosmetic DLC Pack are entering the fray with content from both the main game and DLC collections, as revealed by the game's official X account on July 13.

Steam just had its most profitable period in its entire 22-year history, raking in $11 billion in the last six months — and it's mostly thanks to older games.
As shown in data aggregated by Alinea Analytics, this figure rivals what the platform grossed in the whole of 2020 during the peak of the pandemic ($7.2 billion), and much of it was due to purchases of older video games.
In fact, only 21% of purchases from January - June were for titles released in 2026. That means a whopping 79% of games bought by players were from 2025 or older. This trend has only been increasing in recent years, with just 29% of 2024 revenue coming from games released that year, and 27% in 2025 from that year’s titles.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced's controversial $85 collection of day one DLC earned Ubisoft an extra $1 million on Steam, it's been reported.
That's according to Alinea Analytics' Rhys Elliott, who has published detailed sales information for the game's PC release. Ubisoft itself has officially trumpeted 2 million sales of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced across all platforms in just 24 hours.
While the game itself has been warmly received, fans have been less impressed by its optional extra packs, which total a collective $85 — more than the game itself.
"Come on Ubisoft you just couldn't hold yourself huh?!" wrote one player via Steam. "Releasing a 70 euro game and on the DAY of the release you slap us with 85 euros worth...
Everything that happens in The Blood of Dawnwalker is rooted in the vampiric takeover of Vale Sangora. During the peak of the Black Death plague, the evil Brencis murdered the valley’s human lord, Skender, and claimed the region for himself. To say he now rules with an iron fist would be putting it too bluntly – this bloodsucker is far more cunning than your regular warlord. Born to nobles during the Roman Empire’s glory years, he’s as cruel as he is dignified, and employs a carefully selected court to aid him in controlling the valley’s population. The people are his flock in both senses of the word; a religious congregation and a blood farm.
It’s safe to say, then, that vampires are very important to the story of The Blood of...
England footballing legend David Beckham will soon be available to buy in Fortnite.
Beckham announced the collaboration himself today via a post on his Instagram, apparently showing him working on designs for his Fortnite skin. "Working on my new Fortnite character," Becks captioned the post. "Available very soon."
A closer look at Fortnite's plans suggest that the game will introduce two separate Beckham skins, allowing you to play as the former England captain wearing his iconic number 7 shirt, or alternatively wearing a suit and tie — as fans will have seen him in the stands watching games at this World Cup.
A brief video attached the post seems to show this suited version of Beckham in action, as the real-life superstar peers...
Riot Games has unveiled League of Legends Classic, a new version of its phenomenally successful MOBA designed to tap into nostalgia for the game as it was over 15 years ago.
Classic is the biggest change to League of Legends in more than a decade, with gameplay that recreates the feel of the MOBA’s early days, while modernizing select systems for today’s players. Over the years, League of Legends has evolved into a substantially more complex game, with more diverse champion fantasies, skill expression, and mobility, Riot said. In League Classic, combat pacing is more similar to how it was in the past and champions have sharper strengths and weaknesses, encouraging more strategic decision making.
The idea is to deliver a “greatest...
It’s rare for a game to directly acknowledge you as a player – normally, we exist in a mutually agreed upon suspension of disbelief with its characters. We are asked to inhabit them, and put ourselves aside. Moss: The Forgotten Relic, a remake of the previously VR-exclusive Moss and Moss: Book 2, discards that notion. You may control its heroine Quill, but you do not become her; you are the Reader, and the distance between you is intentional. It is also what makes Moss remarkable.
The Forgotten Relic’s story starts simply – you are in an old library and pick up a book titled Moss. Inside, you meet Quill, a young mouse who dreams of adventure and finds it thanks to a piece of Glass, an artifact of great power and long history. Holding...
For those who grew up playing football games, we all have our favourite FIFA, or FC as it’s now called, cover — the one that first jumped out to us on a store shelf or featured some of our favourite players of the era. Whether it be the mid-to-late 2000s that were dominated by Rooney and Ronaldinho, or the cleaner, more modern Messi and Reus looks to the box art, we all have that one that we see when we close our eyes. But which are the greatest of them all?
To find out, we’d love you to rank each of the 21st-century FIFA and FC covers in this tier list to see which come out on top. There’s no real science to this; just go purely on feel, your favourite players, the style that speaks to you most, and what memories are triggered by...
Techland has canceled the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One version of Dying Light: The Beast, blaming the decision on “the technical realities of development.”
First-person zombie-slaying Dying Light: The Beast launched on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S last year. IGN’s review returned a 7/10. We said: “Dying Light: The Beast is a goofy, bloody sequel with a monstrous twist, but doesn’t do much else to mix things up.”
Techland had intended to release the game on the last generation of consoles, although that always felt like a stretch. So it has proven. In a statement published online, Techland said the compromises it would have had to make to get Dying Light: The Beast on PS4 and Xbox One were too great, and it would now offer...
What are the best Sword Art Online games, and will Echoes of Aincrad join them? Fans of the anime are still hoping for a fully fledged MMO set in its universe, but that dream hasn’t become a reality just yet. Instead, we’ve received a steady stream of action RPGs and hack-and-slash adventures, with varying levels of success.
Thankfully, a handful of them stand above the rest. If you’re looking to spend more time in the world of Sword Art Online, these are the games worth playing. While anime adaptations don’t always hit the mark, several entries in this series are genuine hidden gems.
Sword Art Online: Last Recollection
If you’re only going to play one Sword Art Online game, it’s a close call between Last Recollection and Fatal...
Ubisoft Barcelona developers who contributed to Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced have spoken out about the company's plans to lay them off — just as their final project becomes a commercial success, selling 2 million copies in around 24 hours.
Layoffs at Ubisoft Barcelona were announced last month as part of a wider wave of job losses across the firm. 380 staff are being let go in this latest downsizing, spread across offices in Winnipeg and Belgrade (which will close completely), in Barcelona, and in the company's global publishing division.
Ubisoft Barcelona has a history of supporting projects typically led by other, larger Ubisoft studios, such as games in the Rabbids series and Star Trek: Bridge Crew. For Assassin's Creed...
A new look at Kingdom Hearts 4 may be imminent.
Disney has confirmed its plans for D23, a Disney-specific convention that covers movies, TV shows, and anything Disney related. While you can expect updates on a bunch of major projects, there is one project that gamers are particularly interested in: Kingdom Hearts 4. While Disney hasn't explicitly confirmed a new look at the game at D23, it did confirm that there will be an hour-long panel celebrating 25 years of Kingdom Hearts.
"Join us for a journey through light and darkness as we commemorate 25 years of Kingdom Hearts," reads the description for the panel. "Discover how this saga united Disney, Pixar, and Square Enix, with insights from the creative minds, character voices, and...
Montreal-based developer Compulsion Games, who avoided closure amidst the mass layoffs by Xbox Game Studios this month by negotiating its independence, has taken to LinkedIn to let other developers and publishers know that they are open for business – and seemingly open to working as a support studio and/or co-developer on another team's project.
"With Compulsion Games returning to its roots as an independent developer, we are expanding opportunities to collaborate with studios across the games and entertainment industry," the studio's LinkedIn post reads. "We invite partners to leverage the talent and creativity of the award-winning team behind South of Midnight...We are excited to support the development of memorable experiences that...

The new PS4 and PS5 port of Call of Duty: Black Ops is being called "unplayable" by fans after exploits have consumed multiplayer lobbies.
Last week, Activision released PS4 and PS5 ports of the first two Black Ops games, much to the joy of fans. Although they're a bit pricy for games that have no major updates or changes, fans were just excited to be able to revisit the games they love. With that said, the experience hasn't been smooth. In addition to server and hit registration issues, players are also running into compromised lobbies.
Players are able to easily host modded lobbies in Black Ops 1, allowing players to exploit the game. If you manage to get into one of these lobbies, you can just blow yourself up with a grenade as...

The Elder Scrolls Online developer ZeniMax Online Studios has moved to reassure concerned fans that it is still committed to the game despite the impact of significant layoffs at Xbox.
Last week, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma started her “reset” of Microsoft’s gaming business by cutting 1,600 staff, with another 1,600 to go over the course of the next 12 months. Bethesda was hit hard by the layoffs. A Maryland WARN Act notice shows 213 employees were laid off from ZOS's office in Cockeysville, MD, and 166 from ZeniMax Media Inc. in Rockville, MD, for a total of 379. While it’s difficult to pin down exactly what the affected staff were working on at these studios because there are blended teams across Bethesda locations, the WARN numbers...
