Xbox has shared its rundown of next week’s releases, and the list includes 24 new games arriving between July 6 and July 10. The lineup is headlined by two major AAA titles, three notable additions to Game Pass, and a long list of smaller indie games.

Two AAA pre-orders lead the week

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced arrives on July 9, with the standard edition priced at $59.99 and a $69.99 Deluxe tier. The release follows a rocky rollout that included a delayed reveal and months of leaks before Ubisoft confirmed the remake. EA Sports College Football 27 arrives the same day at $62.99, with the $89.99 Deluxe Edition granting three days of early access starting July 6.

Bandai Namco’s Echoes of Aincrad also launches July 9, with standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate Edition pre-orders ranging from $59.99 to $109.99. KEMCO RPG Selection Vol. 10, a $39.99 bundle of four turn-based RPGs, rounds out the week’s major releases.

Palworld and two others join Game Pass

Palworld 1.0 reaches Xbox gamers on July 10, closing out over two years in early access. The “Pokemon with guns” survival game sold a million copies within days of its January 2024 launch, and it’s been a Game Pass mainstay ever since. The 1.0 release comes to PC and Game Pass at no added cost, alongside a permanent price cut to $23.99 for anyone buying it outright.

Two more games join Game Pass next week. Wuthering Waves, an open-world action RPG from Kuro Games, and Winds of Arcana: Ruination, a 2.5D action platformer, both land as day-one additions on July 10 and July 6, respectively.

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release

Samsung Display’s Gaming-optimized OLED Products Showcased at COMPUTEX 2026

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.

Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.
