In need of something heartwarming? Evergate on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC may well provide the smattering of love you are looking for.

There is most definitely a bit of a trend in the vehicular-based gaming scene at this moment in time. Whilst it always used to be all about how fast you could make it from point A to point B, with a current huge emphasis on the off-road world, it's all about just making that journey instead; working your way as slowly and carefully as you possibly can. Today we hear of a new extreme off-road simulation experience that is on the cards, with Heavy Duty Challenge due to pop up on console and PC from the end of 2021.

Professional Farmer has been ensuring Xbox One gamers have been able to work the farms since way back in 2016, with Professional Farmer 2017 launching right in the middle of the big farming revolution that hit consoles. Today though it's time for us to head down to the farm once more, this time in order to live out our biggest dreams as Professional Farmer: American Dream releases on Xbox One.

Just a few short months ago Xbox One, PS4, PS Vita and Nintendo Switch players were given the chance to fall into the virtual world of Reed, a virtual creature who was attempting to save the entire world in Reed Remastered. Today though Reed is back, as Reed 2 drops on to the exact same formats.

Ready for something a bit... manic? Task Force Kampas releases on Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch to harness the power of old-school Japanese shoot 'em ups. And if it's high intensity SHMUP action you are after, then that is what you'll get.

Zombie-filled nightmares are two-a-penny on the console scene. But every now and then a fun undead alternative pops up. And that's what we have here and now with the launch of Zombies Ruined My Day on Xbox One - a super cheap, amusing nightmare that is full of zombie action.

It's safe to say that the Forza franchise has ripped up the racing rule-book and utterly dominated the scene. No matter whether you are looking to go track racing with Forza Motorsport or hitting the wild open roads with Forza Horizon, the franchise as a whole sees off all others. Now though Forza is moving away from the confines of Xbox to roll out on iOS and Android, with Forza Street not just bringing hot racing to the mobile world, but Xbox achievements for good measure.

It's time for the drift kings and queens to put the pedal to the metal as Inertial Drift gears up for release on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC. Yet it's not just a digital release we'll be seeing, as that will be accompanied by a glorious physical drop too.

We've been waiting an age for a decent modern take on the skateboarding scene, and for a long while it has looked as though the team at Easy Day Studios are going to be nailing it with Skater XL for Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC. The full confirmation of the digital and physical release date is therefore very welcoming.

Should you be in the market for a new cooperative adventure and fancy running the retro route all whilst utilising some fun Match-3 mechanics then you are in luck, for right now the delightfully old-school Pushy and Pully in Blockland has launched on Xbox One and PC, with a Nintendo Switch launch just around the corner.

There are many great kart racers out there, with the likes of Mario, Sonic and Crash vying for the top spot. But back at the end of 2019 another name took their place on the starting grid, with the Youtube sensation, Ryan, moving into the video games scene with the unmistakable Race With Ryan. Now we see that base experience become enhanced with a brand new Surprise Track Pack to enjoy.

We may be well into May, but multiple delays to the release of the very biggest titles has seen many look to get their gaming fix from other avenues, with independent games on a rise, and that backlog of shame being given a good going over. But there is always room on those hard drives for us to consider further additions to our Xbox libraries, and once more the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale is one of the very best ways of getting new games added in, for a very low outlay. That is no different with the latest sale and the one running between the 5th-11th May 2020 provides some very interesting options for those gaming on both Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Other than the obvious slow pace that it brings, there is little to dislike about SnowRunner on Xbox One. It’s a hugely immersive game that ticks a whole ton of boxes for those looking to gain new off-roading kicks, and the sheer amount of variety in terms of the vehicles, the trailers and the customisation and amendments that can be made to these is nothing short of stunning.

Stay home and play games is the message many in the gaming industry are pushing at this moment in time, and thanks to the guys at Raw Fury we've been able to run a fair few giveaways for Xbox One game code, giving everyone a chance to sit back with a controller and enjoy gaming. And here we are again with another free giveaway and if you wish to be in with a chance of winning Xbox One code for Dandara: Trials of Fear Edition, then you are in the right place.

Admit it, you love anti-grav racing! The speed, the adrenaline, the weaponry and the thrills all combine to ensure that the anti-grav racer is one that many adore. And that is where Antigraviator on Xbox One comes in.
