Another week down and yet again we get closer to being able to call football’s latest champions. And in the course of the last seven days or so, all manner of great matches have been played, with some of the world’s finest stepping up to the plate. It’s those players who find a place in

In one recurring mission in Rainbow Six Extraction, your Special Ops veteran is transported into a hellish parallel dimension where they face off against a malignant, mutated facsimile of one of your fellow Operators from the Rainbow Six Siege cast. An armored, multi-tiered health bar appears across the top of the screen, and it depletes

This announcement is dedicated to everyone who loves games, loves reading about games, or those people who click on links about games – this one’s for you. We’ve got more coming to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass soon; some are even available today! Whether you’re looking to squad up with your friends to

From the creators of the satisfyingly punchy Guacamelee! comes a brand new RPG that is looking to hook you in with its combat based around assuming different forms – Mega Man style – either on your lonesome or with an online friend. Will you put an end to the evil Calamity and (ironically) save the

How much I enjoyed Nobody Saves the World was constantly in flux as I played, which is somewhat appropriate given the transforming nature of its hero. The latest from Drinkbox Studios is a fun but uneven top-down action-RPG that has you somewhat clumsily swapping between 15 different unlockable forms, mixing and matching their abilities to

The latest update in the new year for Rogue Company has arrived! This update features a new Rogue and many new quality of life updates as part of our Project Saint initiative! Glimpse is the result of a genetic engineering program trying to develop a super-assassin. She was deemed a ‘failure’ and was scheduled for

What does the title ‘Summertime Madness’ say to you? We get images of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, perhaps chucking a beachball around. What it probably doesn’t invoke in you is World War II, a pact with the devil, and a surrealist puzzle adventure that spends most of its time in the dark. We expected

After hundreds of years of peaceful expansion across the universe, humanity has finally made first contact with an alien entity, and it hasn’t gone well. Join four unlikely survivors — Guion, Nessa, Liu, and Lance — as they battle endless alien hordes in The Anacrusis (Game Preview). That’s where the story of The Anacrusis starts,

Gunkid 99 from developers Yongjustyong fills out a genre that I’m not really sure about. Basically, this is a score chaser with a gun collecting/shooting twist, and I for one haven’t really played anything like it before. Is different good, or is this too different for its own good? Join me as we dive into

Welcome to Next Week on Xbox! In this weekly feature, we cover all the new games coming soon to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC as well as upcoming Xbox Game Pass and soon-to-be released [email protected] games! You can get more details on these games below and click their profiles for pre-order details

Mushroom Wars 2 is a highly competitive real-time strategy game, where you control handsome little mushroom units. Each battle is short, usually only around five minutes, but it’s a very intensive collision between you and another player. It requires full immersion! You can prepare yourself by playing the story-driven campaign solo, but none of the

Just announced is an awesome new competition from Mattel and Milestone games in their surprisingly good arcade racer Hot Wheels Unleashed. The Hot Wheels Unleashed Design Battle is a chance for you, yes you, to create your own real-life Hot Wheels car. Starting today 14th January and lasting a month until 14th February, players can

I never really considered Far Cry a series that was ripe for the roguelite treatment, and Far Cry 6’s Control DLC doesn’t do much to convince me otherwise. This looping gauntlet provides an interesting exploration of one of its more complex villains, Far Cry 4’s pink-suited Pagan Min, but Control’s small-scale open world doesn’t deliver

We’re excited to announce Operation Zeta, our third game in the Inevitability universe. Set in the same galaxy as its predecessors, this game was a totally new style for us; a jaunty rogue-lite, space action game. In this installment, you will navigate the warzone of Operation Zeta (a failed battle against the galaxy’s vacuous foe:

With the likes of Back 4 Blood and Second Extinction aiming to revive the four-player co-op shooter last year, harkening back to the good ol’ days of Left 4 Dead, there looks to be no let-up of such titles in 2022. The Anacrusis is the latest game gunning for your heart, and as an Xbox

Guntech 2 is a return of the good old “cave flyer” shoot ’em ups genre. It’s a twin-stick shooter influenced by such classics as Thrust, Oids, Geometry Wars, and Asteroids. For me, it’s a return to my roots as a game developer. I’ve made games for almost 30 years, mostly for big studios in roles

Taking what made the original so loved, Spelunky 2 finally finds a place in the world of Xbox – and to ensure that Xbox One and Series X|S players won’t have an excuse to miss it, it debuts on the system via Game Pass.  Spelunky 2 follows on with the randomised roguelike madness that made

Megaquarium is a theme park management tycoon game with an aquatic twist. You design displays, look after your fish, manage your staff, and keep your guests happy. Freshwater Frenzy is the first Deluxe Expansion for Megaquarium on console. Adding a freshwater-focused campaign with five levels, there’s a brand new environment for you to explore, master,
