Xbox gamers, are you ready to finally play Dispatch?! Today is the day, as one of the best games of 2025 is available now to play on Xbox Series X and Series S with full Xbox Play Anywhere support on the Xbox PC app and handheld! Booya!

If somehow you missed this one, Dispatch is a very good choose your own adventure experience - sorta like the classic Telltale games we loved so much. You play as a downed superhero turned dispatcher for a motley crew of supes, with quick-time events, key choices, and a fun dispatch-themed system where you have to choose the right superhero to send out on the job.

Here's what the critics had to say about Dispatch:

GAMINGBible (10/10)

"Dispatch is an all-time great, and I hope we’ll see it contend for GOTY. After an incredibly successful season, Adhoc’s developers totally deserve to put their feet up and luxuriate within all of this success … not for too long though. I’d quite like a second season please."

WellPlayed (10/10)

"AdHoc Studio have knocked it out of the park with its comedic take on the superhero life. Thanks to its high-quality graphics, voice acting, story, characters, music, and gameplay, you’ll be immersed the entire time you uncover the incredible story of Mecha Man and the Z-Team."

IGN (9/10

"A true spiritual successor to the Telltale Games of the 2010s, Dispatch cleverly toes the line between TV show and video game, delivering on both halves in equal measure. Its cavalcade of multidimensional characters shines thanks to great writing further buffeted by a star-studded cast... An emotional rollercoaster in all the right ways, Dispatch is a decision-packed adventure that hones in on the hero behind the super. I’m only left with one question… how long until Season 2?"

Nintendo Life (9/10)

"Thanks to the sublime writing, fantastic voiceovers, and a level of animation you'd usually expect from a big-budget streaming series, Dispatch is the kind of superhero drama that draws you in with the sexy characters and funny one-liners, and hooks you until the bitter end with the potential of its ever-changing arcs."

I've been so excited to give Dispatch a go for myself. My original plan was to wait until the Switch 2 release, but thanks to Nintendo censorship - boooo - I decided to wait for the Xbox version. I know Fraser has really enjoyed it, so it should be a good shout for £24.99 / $29.99 (Currently 10% off).

Xbox Play Anywhere support is mega too, not only will you be able to play on Xbox for the first time, but you essentially bag a free PC version of the game too.

Here's more information about Dispatch along with some screenshots:

You play as Robert Robertson, AKA Mecha Man, whose mech-suit is destroyed in a battle against his nemesis, forcing him to take a job at a superhero dispatch center: not as a hero, but a dispatcher. In charge of rehabilitating a group of ex-supervillains, you must manage your roster while navigating office relationships and rebuilding your suit for a shot at revenge.
