New Xbox Games — June 24 to 30

Must read

Hopefully, you have some room in your backlog (and money in your wallet), as 23 new Xbox games launch next week for Xbox consoles and PC. For the Game Pass subscribers out there, you’ve also got one upcoming Game Pass game to look forward to.

It seems that not many big games are willing to risk launching just days after Elden Ring’s colossal Shadow of the Erdtree, but there are one or two here that look pretty interesting. There are the three cursed Garten of Banban games (which have proved insanely popular with kids in recent years) coming to Xbox on June 25 alongside that second Beyond Good & Evil remaster, and on June 27, you have action-adventure RPG Robin Hood: Sherwood Builders, which launches straight into Xbox Game Pass.

Here’s a breakdown of everything coming to the world of Xbox next week. Let us know which of these you’re planning on picking up in the comments!
