As a rule, February is a quiet month for new gaming releases. And that is no more true than this February as 2020 continues to see delay after delay arrive. So how do us Xbox gamers get our new gaming fix? Well, we could always dive deep into the brilliant indie scene that keeps the video gaming world alive, or we could move into the latest sale. With the arrival of the latest Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale - that running between the 18th-24 February 2020 - there are yet a whole host of bargain basement purchasing options available.

Over the years the middle of the month has always signified one thing - new free games being delivered via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme. And February 2020 is no different with the brilliant Call of Cthulhu and the old-school OG Xbox title Star Wars Battlefront now both stripped of their price tags.

Yeah yeah, we know - the new name for PES is utterly ridiculous. But should you be able to look past that will find a rather decent football experience within. And since Konami first dropped PES 2020 back in September 2019, a whole host of new updates and Data Packs have hit the game. Today that continues with the arrival of Data Pack 4.0.

It may have taken KOEI TECMO five years or so to deliver the next installment in the WARRIORS OROCHI series with WARRIORS OROCHI 4 but it seems that they certainly aren't done there as today the Ultimate Edition has rocked up, pushing on with new stories and game modes.

Free-to-play space battles across Xbox One and Win10 PC via the power of Xbox Play Anywhere appeal to you? That is where the newly released Galaxy Control: Arena comes in.

Forget about the smooth roads of Forza and put the brilliance of Codemasters' GRID to one side for today is all about a different type of racing - dirt racing - as Tony Stewart's Sprint Car Racing hits Xbox One and PS4.

We've seen the Retro Rammers, we've laughed at the Goofy Roofs and we've beat up the Backwoods Bangers. Today though Wreckfest is expanding once more - with the Rusty Rats Car Pack.

Remember the draw of 20XX? Of course you do, and that is why you should be so damn excited to read about the unveiling of the sequel - 30XX.

You may have stumbled upon Backbone: Prologue over on Steam, after all, since first release back in April 2019 it's picked up a rather tasty 130,000 downloads, 2000 reviews and a 98% positive user review score. Today though is all about how Backbone goes forward and with a new publishing partnership between EggNut and Raw Fury, the future is firmly focused on a PC and console launch in 2021.
