It's been a pretty big month for Microsoft, hasn't it? Things slowly built up to the team's Xbox Games Showcase on June 9th — which then led to the announcement of the ROG Xbox Ally — followed up this week by more talk on the brand's next-gen plans. The question is, after a whirlwind year-or-so for Xbox, are you more excited about the future after these June 2025 updates? We're definitely feeling a bit more positive energy around the PX offices, we must admit.

10 Review 9/10 ProfilePublisher: Remedy / Developer: RemedyRelease Date: 27th Oct 2023 (USA)An absolute highlight of 2023's spooky season, Alan Wake 2 is simply a must-play Xbox title. Oozing charm, atmosphere and some incredibly slick visuals, Remedy's latest blockbuster blew us away a few years back - and it would do all over again here in 2025! This one is dropping in terms of its discount these days, and we can't recommend it enough at its current price on Xbox.

Part Assassin's Creed Shadows, part Tomb Raider reboot, Blood Message is a "narrative-driven, linear action-adventure game" developed by the team behind Naraka: Bladepoint - and it's looking mighty impressive so far.

According to PlayForum (via Nintendo Life), the Korean developer has a Switch 2 version of Stellar Blade in its sights. While the team has told PlayForum directly that "nothing is confirmed" in regards to a Switch 2 port, the outlet is reporting that the studio has a Nintendo devkit to begin initial work on moving the game over. Is Stellar Blade Coming To Xbox? Both the PS5 and PC versions of Stellar Blade are published by Sony, meaning an Xbox port is extremely unlikely at this stage.
