All 19 Games at a Glance

Xbox Games — Elaborated

1. Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish

Kicking off the showcase, this first-person supernatural action game drops players into the World of Darkness — a gothic universe filled with vampires and monstrosities. You lead a team of hunters on a mission to eliminate a dangerous vampire lord. Headed to Xbox Series X|S, PC, Cloud, Steam, and PS5 in Summer 2027.

2. Stranger Than Heaven (RGG Studio — Yakuza Devs)

The showcase’s most anticipated reveal. RGG Studio’s brand-new IP spans five time periods and five unique cities, blending the DNA of Yakuza’s brawling and minigame madness into a fresh setting. Combat looks explosive, food looks delicious (classic RGG), and more details land at a dedicated Xbox Presents broadcast on May 6, 2026. One to watch closely.

3. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl — Massive DLC

GSC Game World teased a massive, nonlinear expansion returning to the Chornobyl Anomalous Zone this Summer 2026. The trailer hints at a conflict between the iconic Duty and Freedom factions, with new and classic locations to explore. If you loved the base game’s oppressive atmosphere, this DLC is designed to blow it wide open.

4. Super Meat Boy 3D ⭐ (Out March 31!)

The most immediately exciting announcement — the beloved masochistic platformer goes fully 3D, arriving in just days on March 31, 2026. Same brutal obstacles, same pixel-perfect precision demanded, but now in a whole new dimension with secrets scattered across increasingly punishing levels. Day one on Xbox Game Pass.

6. Ascend to Zero

A cyberpunk-inspired, isometric action roguelike where time manipulation is your core weapon. Freeze enemies, reset situations, and chain abilities in a voxel-art world that looks genuinely slick. Arrives July 13, 2026, on Xbox Game Pass. One of the most visually distinct games of the showcase.

7. Dispatch (All Episodes — Xbox Arrival)

Narrated by Aaron Paul himself, Dispatch is the hit episodic superhero workplace comedy from AdHoc Studio, now coming fully to Xbox this Summer 2026.

All five episodes arrive together, with branching narrative choices shaping your story.

8. Wuthering Waves (Xbox Series X|S)

Kuro Games’ acclaimed open-world action-RPG — often compared to Genshin Impact but with a darker, post-apocalyptic identity — arrives on Xbox Series X|S in July 2026. Free-to-play, memory-recovery storyline, and a combat system that’s earned serious respect on mobile and PC.

9. The Expanse: Osiris Reborn (Owlcat Games)

Set in the universe of James S.A. Corey’s legendary sci-fi series, this isometric action-RPG got brand-new gameplay footage during the showcase. A beta opens April 22, and the full game arrives in Spring 2027 with day-one Xbox Game Pass support and Xbox Play Anywhere.

13. Bluey’s Happy Snaps
