Coming Soon to Xbox: New Releases for July 7-11

Alright, here we go. Just a heads up, this might get a little wild, but let’s dive right into what’s popping next week on Xbox. We’re talking like, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC. You name it, it’s probably there. And yes, Game Pass, naturally. Okay, let’s see what’s cooking.

First up, there’s EA SPORTS™ College Football 26 – Deluxe Edition, right? Coming in hot on July 7 if you want the early peek, or July 10 for the rest. And honestly, who doesn’t love a good run for the Heisman? I mean, imagine the chaos of repping your colors across 136 freakin’ schools. So many coaches, athletes—it’s like a football fever dream. The Deluxe version? Yea, get it early. Why wait?

Oh, and Tony Hawk’s back at it. Pro Skater 3 + 4 – Digital Deluxe Edition. Ever feel the nostalgia hit so hard that it’s like smelling your old high school gym shoes? Might be cleaner, though. Anyway, it drops July 8. Activision knows what they’re doing, and who doesn’t want to ride those pixel waves again?

Next up, Missile Command Delta—July 8. Atari brings us this missile madness. It’s like, tactical or something. Keeping defenses up while missiles are coming your way sounds like the game equivalent of trying to keep all your browser tabs open when your laptop’s about to crash. Stressful yet thrilling.

Somber Echoes pops in on July 8 too. Myth-inspired Metroidvania? I’m all over this vibe. Jump from ancient secrets to acrobatic combat—with your Xbox Series X|S optimized for speed-crashes and all? Yes, please.

And hey, The Last Camp comes July 8 as well. High-quality graphics and doomsday? It’s like, the end of the world never looked so good. Double-stick shooting, a load of weapons—I mean, might as well go down shooting, right?

Now, who’s ready to play matchmaker? Enter Ah, Love! Season 2, arriving July 8. Seriously, avoiding obstacles while making hearts meet is like my teenage years described in a game.

Minami Lane hits on July 9. Build your own Japanese street, all cozy management-like, complete with tanukis and cats. Sounds like something I’d play when I’m both nostalgic and craving sushi. It’s that kind of game.

And there’s Rogue Raccoon on July 9. Who thought this was a good combo: raccoons, heists, and food? Someone knew my weak spot. Honestly, I might give up my fries to that raccoon.

Now, large-scale war battles have arrived with Holdfast: Nations At War, dropping July 9. 150 players per server? Talk about feeling insignificant but epic in the heat of it all. Napoleonic and WW1 settings? Sign me up.

Tiny Pixels Vol. 2: Stormy Knights on July 9 looks like a side-scrolling tale from medieval Europe or something. Retro-love, real-time combat, original soundtracks—this sounds like a game you punks who miss the ’90s might just adore.

Right after, on July 10, we get Greedland with its 20,000 enemies and co-op modes. It’s like, survival of the fittest or friendliest?

ISLANDERS: New Shores is on July 10 too. Minimalist city-building? I may lose hours here. Call it urban zen.

Bad End Theater on the same day, July 10. It’s quite the lineup. Multiple protagonists, and yeah, they might all meet untimely fates. Sounds like my week in review.

Best Served Cold, July 10. Murder mystery in a speakeasy? Is it weird this makes me want to drink and solve a crime? Oh well, guess I’ll find out pseudo-detective style.

Choice of Life: Wild Islands? July 10. Survive or perish. It’s like Robinson Crusoe but in your living room with none of the sand in all the wrong places.

Bendy and the Dark Revival sliding in on July 11 has that creepy studio vibe—brings back that feeling of being watched, doesn’t it? All sinister ink-demons and puzzle-solving stress.

Only Up to Space on July 11 feels chill—except one wrong step, and well, you start again. Progress lost, thanks universe. Why’s it always like this?

July 11 sees Aquapark IO, too. Slide competitions? Multiplayer fun or solo chill. Do you crash your friends or play fair? It’s kind of like life’s big questions, you know.

Then there’s Canine, July 11. Creepy experiments on dogs. I’m game…but ready to rescue doggos anytime. Like a loyal, slightly terrified best friend.

Also on July 11, Griffin. And this one? Battle tanks and family saves. Kind of reminds you to check in on the loved ones—emotional tank fully fueled.

But finally—finally! Island Trouble on July 11 rounds it out. It has this whole “every decision matters” line. Like, can’t I just make an easy choice once in my life? Nope, game said no.

And that’s a wrap. Remember, choices abound, from epic wars to cozy streets. Embrace the chaos, smash those buttons, and feel the pixel dreams live on.
