Okay, deep breath. We’re diving into the chaos of Xbox releases for next week, and honestly, it’s quite a ride. Games are coming in hot for the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC — let’s see what’s what!
Zenless Zone Zero (June 6) – This one’s from HoYoverse, and I swear the name feels like it came from an over-caffeinated brainstorm session. Imagine diving into these creepy Hollows with a bunch of eclectic characters. It’s like urban fantasy meets ARPG. There’s a starter pack, but don’t ask me what’s inside. Probably something cool. Or weird.
Splitgate 2 (June 6) – Ever wanted to teleport in a shooter? Yeah, me neither, but here we are. You get to play as this ace with portal skills, which sounds… confusing? Fun? Dangerous. Customize them weapons and jump into epic battles. You smart cookie!
Narcissus (June 5) – This game tosses you into a spaceship filled with doom and gloom. Real cheery, right? It’s action-horror from a top-down view. Perfect if you like heart palpitations and eerie vibes coming together in a gaming casserole.
Tour de France 2025 (June 5) – The bicycle race of the future! With the Unreal Engine 5, it’s like, ‘Wow, am I actually biking in France?’ or is it just the lighting effects playing tricks on my brain? Either way, it’s as close as many of us will get to the real thing.
Solitaire Dreamscapes (June 3) – Cards, dreams, surreal landscapes… basically, it’s Solitaire but on an LSD trip. Over 200 levels mean your weekend’s booked if this is your kind of zen.
Attack At Dawn: North Africa (June 4) – Stuck in the North African conflict during WW2, you probably feel like a mini Rommel or Montgomery. It’s all strategy and warfare, making history feel a little less… historical? Intense stuff.
Bunny Cubed (June 4) – Cute bunny, 3D puzzles. It’s like the labyrinth game but with fluffier stakes. If only life were this simple: pushing blocks and hopping over carrots.
Forest Golf Planner (June 4) – Imagine turning a green patch in suburbia into a golf empire. No golf skills? No problem! The land’s your oyster – create, decorate, repeat. Par-tee time!
Hidden Cat Outlaws (June 4) – Cats in the Wild West. It’s all lazy felines causing mischief that you need to round up. It’s both oddly charming and strangely intimidating.
The Night of the Rabbit (June 4) – Jerry follows a rabbit to Mousewood. Seriously, could this be any more of a nod to another famous rabbit-chasing adventure? Mysteries and cute critters ahead.
Oirbo (June 4) – This 2D platformer features a labyrinthine spacecraft. It’s like a maze, but with more potential for existential dread. Delightful!
Sumorbit (June 4) – Planets sumo wrestling? I’m in. This game adds black holes and wormholes to spice things up. Because apparently, celestial tumbling wasn’t enough on its own.
Carrier Deck (June 5) – As the Air Officer, manage aircraft operations during a war on a CVN-76. Sounds intense, but kind of thrilling. Everything depends on you — no pressure.
Prison Alone (June 5) – You’re alone, in prison, living a horror story post-evacuation. Thanks to shady dealings, you’re still in there, navigating creepy halls. Honestly, I got chills just imagining it.
Missing Banban (June 5) – Sheriff Toadster’s on the hunt for a missing friend in this bizarre, action-packed adventure. Yeah, it’s a side-scroller, but with heart and some quirky universe aspects… like, who even thinks of this stuff?
Amber Alert Director’s Cut (June 5) – Play as a policeman sewing chaos amid a cult of, uh, female abductors. The mission is straightforward: save the girl, but remember it’s harder than it sounds.
AAA Dynamic Scenes (June 6) – No, it’s not a game. It’s landscapes for your screen! The dancing skeletons alone probably deserve a standing ovation.
Among Ashes (June 6) – Ghosts in a game, dark presences, nightmarish dilemmas — feels like 2001 all over again with a tech hiccup aesthetic. Surviving here is key.
Bool Capture (June 6) – Trapped in a glitch? These system balls aren’t playing fair. Hit, capture, and repeat while navigating chaotic programs. It’s oddly satisfying in a Geek Squad kind of way.
Collie Call: Farm of Tomorrow (June 6) – Shepherding sheep was never so space-age! It’s like every sci-fi trope wrapped into a farming game. Also, puppies! Who doesn’t love smart puppies?
Cyber Love Story (June 6) – Sally White’s life’s flipped — conspiracies and friendships that might not be what they seem. It’s like doing the trust-fall exercise, but everyone’s backed out except your cat.
Inkventure (June 6) – Gloop, a single slime dad, needs to rescue his kids from a kaleidoscopic dimension. Sounds like my average Tuesday, really. Master color shifts, and save the day!
SpotCat vs The Cheddar Mafia in The Americas (June 6) – Cats, the Cheddar Mafia, and spot-the-difference games collide in an unusual mix. Keep those eyes peeled; things get frantic fast.
Whew, seems like Xbox has you covered from space adventures to quirky cats. Plan your week, grab a controller, and prepare for entertaining chaos.
