@Fiendish-Beaver You're welcome!

It's multiplayer-only, so no campaign.

@Titntin You're welcome!

@Nighto4 I believe version 1.0 is launching today.

@Exerion76 That observation is based on the video alone, which features a small portion of footage running at 30FPS / 60FPS with very few dips.

This should all be taken with a pinch of salt until an outlet like Digital Foundry does a full deep dive into it.

@Lup I'm sorry, that was a mistake

PR material we've received says:

"Absolum will launch on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4."

@Vipor007 You were too quick for us! It's live now

@Scummbuddy You're very welcome!

@Kaloudz We'll definitely see some reveals, but probably not first-party ones. Wouldn't get your hopes up for SOD3.

@GuyinPA75 I hate that I don't know if you're joking or not...

This guide was based on a request I received over the weekend (I think it was Fiendish Beaver, apologies if I'm wrong!).

Hopefully it's useful

@Questionable_Duck Thanks. Hopefully we get more details soon.

@Ricky-Spanish Nothing yet, we got a press release but it didn't say anything about release dates or prices.

@Coletrain Yeah, Sea of Stars feels like the biggest loss here. Still haven't played anywhere near enough of it.

@Fiendish-Beaver Haven't been able to get code yet, so it's very unlikely. We'll definitely cover how it performs on Series X and Series S ASAP though.

@Elbow Baldur's Gate 3 🤞

@Fiendish-Beaver Yeah, I'd say so. It's kinda both, but most people are comparing it to the Elite 2 rather than the standard controller.

@Questionable_Duck It's in the plans right now, but the timing sucks because it's right after Gamescom week - so just depends if we can make it work. Fingers crossed.

I was playing 24 on my Switch last night! Almost threw it out the window when I lost 3-2 after being 2-0 up

@Retrokingdan Yeah, that one was delisted back on August 8th. GameMill does this quite a lot with its games - it was seemingly another licensing issue like Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova.

@ralphdibny Nice! I'll update the article.

@BlazeEmUp Must depend on where you're based. I'm still seeing it as "Now $54.00" when going on the Walmart website.

@darkswabber Ah yeah. Happens so often these days.

@darkswabber I know what you mean, but in this case Capcom called the game "Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster".

@Fiendish-Beaver I want to get the Dead Rising remaster, there's a free demo of it on the Xbox Store if you're interested in trying it out.

@Nightcrawler71 Unfortunately not. It shows up on the Xbox Store, but says it's "not available separately".

We've gone and added the SeekingAlpha transcription into the article as well - it's a slightly different interpretation of what was said 👍

@Weebleman @Fiendish-Beaver The article is going off Genki_JPN's translation (a usually very reliable source), but we've added some extra context from them below the quote as well.

Here's a bit from the follow-up:

"Note: This doesn’t mean Sony will stop making console hardware anytime soon. But they say they will increase focus and investment on the platform business model going forward."

This list is still getting updated all the time, folks!

Given it a quiet bump for anyone who hasn't seen it in a while.

@Balaam_ Illusion, don't worry

@Fiendish-Beaver I'm not sure what happened to be honest! Originally targeted a March Xbox release, and then got pushed back.

@Yodaman Apparently it's official for the full release too

Thanks for your updates everyone!

@beltmenot The event was focused on multiplayer, but they've said this about the campaign:

"Campaign is back. Drive tanks across the Sahara. Storm the beaches of Gibraltar. Defend New York from invasion. Join an elite squad of Marine Raiders fighting relentlessly to save a world on the edge of collapse."

@Fiendish-Beaver You're welcome!

For those wondering, we're still waiting for confirmation on whether Square Enix's "The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales" and "Octopath Traveler 0" are coming to Xbox or not.

Update: These have now both been confirmed for Xbox

@Ricky-Spanish I believe you have to unlock him as part of the 2K Showcase mode, but it's pretty early on that you get him (maybe even the first match?).

@Jsb5150 Yeah, don't worry, it seems to be $24.99 on Xbox too. Article has been changed to reflect this.

@Kaloudz Yes! Nightdive Studios will be announcing something:

https://www.purexbox.com/news/2025/06/nightdive-studios-teases-big-thing-happening-at-quakecon-2025

@Tasuki I'm tempted to get the 2024 remaster of LEGO Harry Potter even though it's not really any different from the older one. The price is low enough that it's probably worth it.

@Fiendish-Beaver Haha - tell you what, I'll do it for September's version (as long as I remember!). I've made a note of it for next month

@Fiendish-Beaver I tend to think of them as first-party and third-party Xbox games, hence why they all come under the "Xbox games" banner, but I see your point. The main reason we do it this way is just to avoid being too wordy with the headlines.

@Lup @Jsb5150 Apologies, thank you!

This article was pre-prepared as I was on holiday for the past week, and unfortunately I missed the announcement about Earthion before it went live. Has been removed from the list now.

@Miniwarden Hmm, strange. I'm going to remove it based on your report here, thanks for letting us know.

@Nevoyy Thank you!

@redgrave0 Argh, thank you! It's in there now 🤦‍♂️

Have updated this with a couple of tweets from the Moon Studios CEO on social media (he says it WILL be on Xbox eventually).

Good news: We've got a surprise fourth addition!
Bad news: It's broken the poll!

Apologies 🤦‍♂️

Update: The release date has now been pushed back from August to November 13th.

@BAMozzy 2K are much worse than Ubisoft for it IMO. PGA Tour 2K and TopSpin both have career modes that become unplayable when the servers are turned off.

@AlwaysPlaying Not a great game, but a "notable" one.

@Elbow You're welcome!

@TryToBeHopeful No offence taken! I can see what you mean 👍

@TryToBeHopeful The fact that it's basically been the native way of renting and buying films on Xbox for the past decade-plus.

They don't call it "Xbox Movies & TV", but that's basically what it is on console - so just trying to convey that in the headline.

@Scummbuddy Yeah, it's gone

If only they'd given us a few days at this price rather than a few hours...
