It's been a strange few weeks in the gaming world, with Triple-A releases continuing to be pushed back, allowing for the indie game scene to rule the roost. But if you're one of those players who are struggling to find games to play then the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale is back to ensure that backlog of gaming experiences continues to grow. But what Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles are on sale during the week of 23rd-29th June 2020? We've got the full list of bargain basement Xbox games.

Fun platforming adventures never get old, and so the launch date confirmation of The Watchmaker on Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch is one that is hugely exciting.

Set to launch later in 2020 on Xbox One and PC via Steam, The Falconeer is a title that we've had our eyes on for some months. Providing a beautiful oceanic fantasy to a world full of third person dogfighting gameplay, it's looking like an experience many will wish to take on. And if you don't agree with that statement then we urge you to watch the latest story trailer in order to change your mind.

When we were given the opportunity to take in more of DIRT 5, via a developer presentation by the team at Codemasters Cheshire - those behind the rather brilliant but hugely underrated ONRUSH - we just couldn’t say no. And come the end of the session, we left safe in the knowledge that what Codies are promising with the next chapter in the franchise has promise to be the best DIRT experience yet.

So you've got the console, you've got the controller, and you've got the games. In fact, chances are you've also got the headset, the gaming chair, and the thumbsticks. Thought you had the lot? Think again because KontrolFreek are here with more accessories with their Gaming Cable, allowing you to add your own style to the humble play and charge procedure you never normally think anything of.

One of the most interesting games to launch this coming summer is that of Drake Hollow, a cooperative action builder from a development team who have plenty of great history - think Halo, BioShock, Mortal Kombat and Rock Band. Before that launch though the team at The Molasses Flood are running a limited open beta with the preview weekend kicking off on Xbox today.

For the potential that Super Soccer Blast on Xbox One brings, it consistently fails to deliver, with bugs, glitches and an overriding rushed feeling provided throughout. Even though the in-game mechanics aren’t the best, it could well have still been an arcade football game worth playing. But it comes with a severe lack of game options, zero online capabilities and enough bugs and glitches bubbling around, ready to explode, to ensure that this is one to avoid.

We've seen Xbox make the first moves with Xbox Series X before Sony followed up with PS5 goodies, but slap-bang in the middle of silly season EA have stepped up to the plate with their EA Play Live 2020 showing. But did they manage to excite gamers with reveals and announcements of their upcoming games? TheXboxHub team get back together for TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 35 to chat about how things played out.

For many years Artifex Mundi have been found delivering rather unique gaming experiences, giving us the chance to visit a number of locales in order to take in some of the most intriguing of Hidden Object gameplay. They aren't done yet though and the latest journey takes us North to the Scottish moors in Endless Fables: Dark Moor (Xbox One Edition).

Over recent times we've seen all manner of Wild West themed titles arrive on Xbox One, with Desperados III leading the charge, and both Colt Canyon and West of Dead catering for the sharpest of shooters. Of course, there's always Red Dead Redemption II to immerse yourself in once all those options are exhausted, as well. But there is another Wild West title well worth your gaming consideration too - it's just that Hard West Ultimate Edition launches on Xbox One with a bit of a twist.

Back in May, Modus Games detailed their upcoming adventure platformer, Skully, confirming that the game would be arriving on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC in August. Well, want to get a little look at how things will play out come that launch? A brand new 10 minute gameplay spotlight trailer is now available.

It's only been a few short weeks since Codemasters rocked up and revealed DIRT 5 to the waiting world. But in that time, there have been a whole load of announcements and reveals. Today though, it's all about the release date, the Career Mode - and most importantly the star-studded cast which will help it roll along.

Dovetail Games may have recently confirmed that Train Sim World 2 will soon be catering for Xbox One, PS4 and PC passengers, but until that new game rolls into view, the main focus is still on the original - and right now we see an old workhorse rocking up for action as the BR Class 20 'Chopper' arrives.

Are you ready to go back? Way back to a time when InXile Entertainment were just making a name for themselves? Well, that's exactly what you'll be doing should you grab a purchase and play of the newly released The Bard's Tale ARPG : Remastered and Resnarkled on Xbox One and Xbox Game Pass. For this is a game that came out of the foundations of InXile all those years ago - just remastered and revamped for the modern day gamer.

It's been more than 5 years in the making, but finally the emotional action adventure, created from the mind - quite literally - of Jason Oda has arrived on Xbox One and PC. Are you ready for Waking?
