Coming Soon to Xbox: New Games from June 2 to 6

Welcome to the quirky chaos of "Next Week on Xbox"—where we dive into the jumble of games hitting your Xbox gizmos soon. Or, maybe not "soon"—release dates are the sneakiest of creatures, often shifting like shadows in the night. I mean, are we even surprised at this point? Here’s the lowdown, or what’s pretending to be the lowdown.

Zenless Zone Zero (June 6)
So, picture this: a brand-new urban fantasy ARPG by HoYoverse. Sounds fancy, right? You’re a Proxy—I like to think of that as a superhero with paperwork, navigating these weirdly dangerous places called Hollows. It’s like playing tour guide but with more peril and fewer selfies. Buckle up, ’cause you’ll dive into adventures, commission stuff, and perhaps solve city mysteries that never quite make sense. You know the drill… or maybe you don’t?

Splitgate 2 (June 6)
Teleporting aces in a shooter! If that’s your kind of party, Splitgate 2 might be teleporting to your console. You sort of portal around, pulling off sneaky moves while your enemies are left gaping and wondering where you just disappeared to. Customize your gear, flaunt some skills, and engage in those epic showdowns that everyone talks about but seldom witnesses.

Narcissus (June 5)
Imagine being the last person on a failure of a spaceship. Yikes. Adrenaline-pumping, top-down action-horror is what they’re calling it. The title suggests a wild ride into creepy, claustrophobic spaceships where danger—like uninvited thoughts—are lurking in every corner. So, are you ready to be that brave soul?

Tour de France 2025 (June 5)
Ah! The good ol’ Tour de France, now revamped and perfected with Unreal Engine 5. I don’t know what all that means technically, but it sounds like the roads are going to look super pretty while you—presumably—sweat your guts out racing around. Is this virtual cycling the easy way to get all the glory with none of the pedaling? Could be!

Solitaire Dreamscapes (June 3)
A magical escape into Solitaire madness! 200+ levels of… cards. People love their decks, and if you’re one of them, this could be your jam. You’re probably going to find those weird power-ups, frozen cards, ribbons? (Sure, why not)—explore dreamy landscapes that sound more pleasant than my last vacation.

Attack at Dawn: North Africa (June 4)
Strategize like the historical folks did back in the WW2 days… only, the stakes might be lower, and hopefully, no one’s life depends on it. Rommel, Montgomery—these names might mean something to you if history is your thing. If not, well, just embrace the chaos and see what you can conquer.

Bunny Cubed (June 4)
Block-pushing puzzles in glorious 3D with bunnies! This just sounds delightfully insane. I mean, it’s got bunnies—and cubes, apparently. Hop around solving these brain teasers and feel that childhood nostalgia with a twist.

Forest Golf Planner (June 4)
Let’s make a golf course! No, seriously—from the ground up. Even if your golf knowledge is limited to mini-golf and missed swings, it’s all about the fantasy of planning something green, serene, and possibly filled with odd golfing obsessions. Change landscapes, add holes, and attract some tainted green out of this goodness?

Hidden Cat Outlaws (June 4)
Find the cats, right? Or maybe it’s just about capturing the mischievous essence of lazy felines pretending to be doing something illegal? Set in the Wild West no less, you’ll be spotting rascals in possibly the sunniest of scenarios.

The Night of the Rabbit (June 4)
Magic, wonder, and Jerry with a rabbit… need I say more? Envision a place called Mousewood and throw in talking critters, and I’m sensing a theme of mind-bending narratives, right? Follow the rabbit. Or don’t. It’s your quest.

Oirbo (June 4)
A 2D adventure on a vast spaceship. Not much else to say except, it seems like one of those atmospheric journeys where the ambiance speaks louder than words—assuming spaceships could talk. And, the ultimate goal? Piecing together history while enhancing, upgrading… tinkering, really.

Sumorbit (June 4)
Let’s have planets sumo wrestling—because why wouldn’t they? With black holes and wormholes thrown in for good measure, it sounds utterly bonkers in all the right ways. Missions appear as varied as the solar system’s quirks themselves.

Carrier Deck (June 5)
Now you’re the Air Officer, responsible for organizing aircraft during wartime conditions. If busy work and precision timing are your kind of thrill, this is it. Just make sure those aircraft don’t end up where they shouldn’t—yikes.

Prison Alone (June 5)
Stay in an abandoned prison, why not? It’s abandoned because people disappear, but perhaps you’re there to solve the mystery. Or create one. Psychological horror elements engulf you here, so happiness is optional.

Missing Banban (June 5)
Sheriff Toadster to the rescue! Okay, yeah, the universe is sideways here with dark forces and missing friends. Think side-scrolling action with a hefty dose of quirky toad life. Adventure awaits, if you dare.

Amber Alert Director’s Cut (June 5)
An unnerving late-night call leads you into a sinister game of survival. With a clearly dramatic undertone, fend off cults and save mysterious captives. Because what else are you doing on a weeknight?

AAA Dynamic Scenes (June 6)
Transform your screen with animated landscapes—it’s like having a window without weather. Moonlit valleys to cities in neon flair, you might be transported without ever leaving the couch.

Among Ashes (June 6)
Step into retro 2001 vibes with an internet game that’s more curse than fun. Amid nightmarish puzzles and blurred lines between game and reality, survival demands your cleverest moves.

Bool Capture (June 6)
You’re in a digital pickle with glitchy programs—the mission? Clear your path of red system balls. Physics, arcade feels, it’s all there—the digital world, as glitches ensue.

Collie Call: Farm of Tomorrow (June 6)
Back on the farm, only now it’s futuristic. As the brainy pooch, your mission is to shepherd those woolly pals to safety over weirdly sci-fi terrains. Crazy town, right?

Cyber Love Story (June 6)
Dive into a narrative where trust is a puzzle, and life’s seemingly normal moments curl into conspiracies. Young Sally White’s story has twists aplenty, questioning who’s real and who’s just play-acting.

Inkventure (June 6)
Color shifting, dimension hopping, four slimey kids swept into chaos. Only Gloop can rescue his quirky lot. Who knew afternoons could turn as vibrant and tumultuous as this whirlwind?

SpotCat vs The Cheddar Mafia in The Americas (June 6)
Find-the-difference with a twist. Mafia-esque chaos, spot the differences, and stay ahead of sneaky rats spreading discord. Just a normal day in the feline world.

And that folks, is your jam-packed, slightly haphazard dive into the world of Xbox releases. Or maybe it was all a dream. Who knows?
