Oh man, where to start? It was another year, another Xbox Games Showcase. And you know what that means? A smorgasbord of gaming announcements. They’re rolling out the red carpet for this year’s lineup, and beyond, maybe even sneaking a peek at 2026. Honestly, it’s like Christmas for gamers, except Santa’s dressed up as Microsoft. And hilariously, some of these games are making their way to the PS5. I guess even rival consoles can’t resist the allure!
Okay, let’s dive into what Microsoft’s been hyping up. Here’s a raw list of games they paraded around for the PS5 crowd:
The Outer Worlds 2 – Mark your calendars for October 29, 2025. It’s sort of a space odyssey sequel, and can’t lie, the vibe is killer.
High on Life 2 – Winter 2025, kind of vague, right? It’s like they want to surprise us. Or maybe they’re still figuring it out themselves. Typical.
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy – Scheduled for 2026. This one’s hitting the nostalgia nerve with all those plague-era vibes.
The Blood of DawnWalker – The name alone feels dramatic, doesn’t it? Coming in 2026. Enough time to prepare for whatever the ‘DawnWalker’ ordeal is about.
Super Meat Boy 3D – Early 2026. And yeah, I thought the same thing—does the meat boy really need to be in 3D? Sounds messy.
Ninja Gaiden 4 – October 21, 2025. Oh, remember all those attempts at being a stealthy ninja kid in the old games? Looks like we get another shot.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle DLC – September 4, 2025. It’s like a movie, and a game had a baby and decided to grab a fedora.
Beast of Reincarnation – Another one for 2026. Guess they’re saving up for that roaring 20s return act.
Clockwork Revolution – When’s it coming, you ask? Who knows! They said, “Coming in due time.” Whatever that means.
Grounded 2 – July 29, 2025. Did anyone else get tiny survival game vibes, or is it just me?!
Cronos: The New Dawn – Fall 2025. Sounds epic, right? Or maybe just chilly. Could be both, I guess.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Seasons of the Wurm Cult – June 18, 2025. Elder Scrolls is that comfort food you return to. Always familiar.
Aphelion – No exact date, just 2026. It’s mysterious. Like, are they hiding something?
Age of Mythology Retold DLC – Slated for Fall 2025. Mythology in games is the ultimate escape from reality.
Mudang Two Hearts – Release date? Nada. So typical! Just leaves you hanging.
Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf – 2026. The name’s as intriguing as it sounds. I’m in.
Fallout 76 Gone Fission DLC – Out now! Boom! Drop everything and dive in.
Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive – Fall 2025. Solo leveling? Isn’t that what we all do in life?
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 – July 11, 2025. Ready for some digital skating nostalgia?
Phew. So, what’s your take on Xbox Games Showcase 2025? I’m all ears for some gamer banter. Tell me, what caught your eye?
