Coming Soon to Xbox: New Games Launching July 7-11

Oh wow, gaming updates, right? Anyone else feels like there’s always a new game popping up, like rabbits in spring? Anyway, here’s what’s cooking for Xbox next week—kind of a crazy lineup, so buckle up!

First up, EA SPORTS™ College Football 26. Let’s dive back into those college days, minus the all-nighter study sessions. Early access kicks off July 7, full release on the 10th. You can coach, be recruited, or even aim for the Heisman. Over 300 real-life coaches are sticking their virtual faces in there. Pretty wild.

Then, Tony Hawk’s™ Pro Skater™ 3 + 4, which gives me instant nostalgia whiplash. Seriously, who even has the balance to skateboard IRL? Probably not me. But hey, ranks start from July 7 for this gem.

Missile Command Delta, dropping July 8, reimagines one of Atari’s classics. High stakes, incoming missiles, maybe a mild panic attack if you’re like me. Also, living that strategy life.

Somber Echoes, on the other hand, lands you in space—July 8, too. Jump around, uncover secrets… maybe get lost in space (I’d totally misplace myself).

Then there’s The Last Camp. You know, because post-apocalyptic atmospheres bring out your best self? Launch is July 8. It’s got a map so you don’t get too lost, thank goodness.

Ah, Love! Season 2 — a puzzle challenge launching July 8. Don’t let the black hearts fool you; it’s about lovey-dovey stuff. Or so they say.

Minami Lane, where you build a Japanese-inspired street with cute animals, hits the scene July 9. I could learn something about town planning here, maybe.

And Rogue Raccoon. Because who doesn’t love a raccoon heist? July 9. Sneak into museums for food. Priorities, right?

Holdfast: Nations At War, July 9, pits you in historical battles. I mean, there’s something about large-scale combat that’s exciting and exhausting at the same time.

Tiny Pixels Vol. 2: Stormy Knights crashes into castles. Hits on July 9 too. Saving princesses in pixel art vibes sounds noble, in a retro way.

Greedland on July 10 gets you fighting an alien mutant horde. Because what’s a game without a good alien invasion, right?

Then, Islanders: New Shores lets you toss aside real-world city planning stress (because who needs zoning laws?) on July 10.

Bad End Theater sees choices ending badly, naturally, debuting July 10. Maybe there’s one good ending? Or not.

Best Served Cold lands you in a speakeasy July 10. Remember: cocktails and crime-solving don’t mix without some spilled drinks.

Choice of Life: Wild Islands takes you to an isolated isle on July 10. Outlive the wreck, find treasure, or maybe just a coconut friend.

Bendy and the Dark Revival swirls into horrors on July 11. Embrace the ink and avoid screaming too much (no promises).

Only Up to Space, for climbing enthusiasts, launches July 11. Keep one eye on the platform and the other on your fear of heights.

Aquapark io drops you into water slide chaos July 11. Guaranteed laughs and a few splashes (and maybe a swirly).

Canine jumps into horror on July 11. Channel your inner pet-saving hero amidst corporate conspiracies.

Griffin rides on July 11. Hey, who wouldn’t want to pilot a battle tank for a rescue mission? Sign me up.

And closing it, Island Trouble maroons you on July 11. Survival challenges, gather stuff, escape—or maybe just chill out?

Phew! Okay, so much gaming goodness, it’s actually bonkers. Enjoy diving into these worlds, friends. And maybe don’t forget to sleep at some point. Or don’t. Who am I to judge?
