<p>Take control of a mechanical pit crew bunny and tackle clever challenges where every move matters. Push toolboxes through busy pit lanes, organize limited space with precision, and line everything up perfectly with flat tires scattered around the track. It sounds simple&#8230; until tight corridors, obstacles, and tricky layouts turn every stage into a true test of logic.</p>

<p>Melt a face, slap a bass or kiss a drum in this RPG about three idiot musicians. Praised for its refreshing take on the JRPG genre. Upon signing up to a perfectly normal battle of the bands contest for a bit of fun, Faye, Ian and Briff are cursed with an unusual power and find themselves sealed to a horrible fate. Surely there&#8217;s a way to get out of it, there has to be! Even if it means&#8230; *shudder* working together.</p>

<p>William is a young writer in search of his first literary success. He travels to a distant abbey, shrouded in a vow of silence. Among thick stone walls and unspoken secrets, William slowly immerses himself into the life of the abbey and its silent inhabitants. What begins as a search for inspiration soon turns mysterious, leading William to uncover not just a story to tell, but a secret that was never meant to be discovered. <em>Scholar Adventure: Mystery of Silence</em> is a classic 90s-style point &amp; click adventure featuring dark, detailed pixel art, environmental puzzles, and a deep narrative with touches of black humor.</p>

<p>Effective August&nbsp;1, 2026,&nbsp;we&nbsp;will be updating prices worldwide.&nbsp;The&nbsp;price of XBOX consoles will&nbsp;increase&nbsp;by&nbsp;US$100 for 512 GB models and&nbsp;US$150 for 1 TB models.&nbsp;We&nbsp;will also be sunsetting our&nbsp;2 TB model.</p>



<p>Last October, we increased XBOX console price by $20-$70 in the U.S. We hoped another price increase would not be necessary, and we have spent the last several months working with suppliers on options. Unfortunately, console storage and memory prices have increased by more than 2.5x and we expect another doubling by the fall of 2027. The entire consumer electronics industry is struggling with the current components crisis, but the effects are particularly hard on consoles. Unlike phones, computers, speakers, and other consumer devices, consoles are typically not sold at a profit, but instead for less than they cost to make.</p>



<p>Today we are also sharing programs to make XBOX consoles more accessible:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Buy Now, Pay Later:</strong> We’ve made it easier for players to use Buy Now, Pay Later options on eligible XBOX hardware purchases through Microsoft Stores, making it possible to break up your payment into predictable short-term, interest-free installments.</li>



<li><strong>Interest Free Financing:</strong> We are working with partners to let players purchase eligible XBOX hardware at 0% APR financing for up to 12 months, giving players more flexibility with lower monthly payments and more budgeting control.</li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Previously Played Consoles: </strong>We are working with retail partners on new programs to provide previously played consoles at lower prices. Players who are ready to upgrade or no longer use their console will be able to trade it in with participating retail partners for cash or store credit. Those consoles will then be made available at lower prices for players.</li>



<li><strong>Certified Refurbished Consoles:</strong> XBOX Certified Refurbished Consoles are available at <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/collections/certifiedrefurbishedxbox?icid=cmmn9v5xq06" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Microsoft Stores for up to US$100 off MSRP</a>.</li>
</ul>



<p>XBOX Series S remains the lowest-cost way for console players to enjoy the biggest hits this year, including <em>Assassin&#8217;s Creed Black Flag Resynced,</em> <em>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4</em>, <em>Gears of War: E-Day</em>, <em>Grand Theft Auto VI, Halo: Campaign Evolved</em>, and <em>Madden NFL 27.</em></p>



<p class="has-small-font-size"><em>Payment&nbsp;options vary by region. Credit provided by third parties. Subject to status and eligibility. Terms apply.</em> &nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Mousebusters</em> is available now on XBOX consoles. To celebrate, I wanted to share why I made a game about a mouse sneaking through an apartment building and blasting ghosts.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<p>A quick question to start us off: Do you know your neighbors?</p>



<p>When you live in a city, it is surprisingly common to share a building with people you know almost nothing about. Every now and then, you catch a glimpse of someone else’s life through the walls: someone practicing an instrument, an argument in the next room, or a loud party down the hall.</p>



<p>That idea became the starting point for <em>Mousebusters</em>. As a mouse, you sneak into the lives of different residents and learn more about them than any polite neighbor probably should. Somewhere along the way, those small encounters begin to form a strange but meaningful connection.</p>

<p>This feeling also comes from my own memories. I have studied abroad, traveled often, and lived in Switzerland, Australia, the United States, and Japan. During those years, I often lived in shared houses, where people from different countries and backgrounds lived side by side for a while, sharing a kitchen, a hallway, or a meal before eventually going their separate ways.</p>



<p>I have always found something precious in that kind of relationship. It is not quite friendship in the usual sense. It isn’t family, but it is still a long-distance connection: a ways away, and yet people are somehow linked.</p>



<p>That feeling is in <em>Mousebusters</em> too. There is a scene where residents of different ages and backgrounds gather for a BBQ. They don’t immediately become friends, but for a moment, they share the same place, the same food, and the same time.</p>

<p>Once I decided to make a game about sneaking into the lives of apartment residents, I needed a protagonist who could do that naturally. At one point, I considered something like a ghost. But eventually, I chose a mouse.</p>



<p>That choice changed the direction of the game. A mouse made the idea feel smaller, funnier, and more charming. It also led naturally to the title <em>Mousebusters</em>. Once that title existed, the tone became much clearer: a cozy apartment adventure with ghosts, parody, strange gadgets, and one very energetic mentor mouse.</p>



<p>After that, the big question became this: What makes a mouse game feel like a mouse game?</p>



<p>The answer was perspective.</p>



<p>A mouse does not see a room the way a human does. A game controller is something you operate with your whole body. A TV remote is something you climb. The space under a bed becomes a secret viewpoint into someone’s private life. A refrigerator, if you are trapped inside, becomes terrifying.</p>



<p>I tried to include scenes like that throughout the game. A mouse sneaks around, climbs over everyday objects, hides from a cat, and sees human life from places humans normally never notice. The game has tense moments — a cat is still a cat, after all — but <em>Mousebusters</em> is mostly cozy. The fun is not only in surviving as a mouse, but in discovering what small things a mouse can do.</p>

<p>In <em>Mousebusters</em>, you exorcise evil spirits, but you also create tiny changes in people’s lives. You might fix a broken record and play a song connected to an old woman’s memories. You might secretly make instant noodles and change how someone thinks about food. You might set a new high score in a game so that a young resident can move forward and focus on practicing guitar.</p>



<p>These are not grand heroic acts. Most residents never even know that a mouse helped them. But that was exactly what interested me. Sometimes a person does not need someone to solve their whole life. Sometimes they only need a small trigger: a memory, a surprise, or a strange little accident that helps them look at things differently.</p>



<p><em><a href="https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/mousebusters/9nbdmq6k2d8m"><em>Mousebusters</em></a></em> is a silly game about a mouse with an exorcism gun, but it also carries that positive feeling. It is about ghosts, but it is also about neighbors: People who live close to each other without fully knowing each other, and the small connections that can quietly change someone’s life.</p>



<p>I hope XBOX players enjoy exploring the apartment, meeting its residents, finding hidden jokes, and following this tiny mouse’s very strange new career all the way through to its conclusion.</p>



<p>That is all for now — squeak you later!</p>

		◆ Welcome to Mousebusters!
You just moved into your new place, and are excited to settle in…when all of a sudden, you get turned into a mouse! Thankfully, you soon meet a fellow rodent who knows how to help.
He asks you to call him “Chief,” and explains that there’s only one way to break the curse: by ridding the whole apartment building of the ghosts that haunt its inhabitants!

◆ Get to Know Your New Neighbors
In each apartment, you&#039;ll find a different ghost—but it won&#039;t be that easy to track them down. It seems they prey on negative emotions, so in order to smoke them out, you&#039;ll have to do some major recon to figure out each resident&#039;s biggest insecurities. Just don&#039;t get caught!

◆ A Partner You Can Count On
Luckily, you won&#039;t have to go it alone, because you&#039;ll be in frequent contact with the Chief throughout each mission. From his comfy desk at HQ, he&#039;ll offer plenty of guidance and comedic commentary as you scour the building and solve puzzles to find each ghost.

◆ Engage in Ghost-Zapping Action!
Once you&#039;ve tracked down the source of each resident&#039;s woes, you&#039;ll have to whip out your trusty ray gun and perform a good ol&#039; fashioned exorcism. Protect yourself from projectiles while targeting their weak points to expose their spectral cores!

◆ Venture Down the Rabbit Hole
Over the course of your investigations, you&#039;ll slowly uncover more and more evidence that suggests something far more ominous is going on with this building&#8230;and it seems the Chief knows more about the curse than he&#039;s letting on. Just how deep does this conspiracy go?	</div>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Unique Gamertags Expanded to 15 Characters</strong></h2>



<p>We’ve heard from players who wanted a little more flexibility when choosing a gamertag, and we’re bringing back support for unique gamertags up to 15 characters long, expanded from the previous 12-character limit.</p>



<p>This update applies to gamertags that are unique and available, giving you more room to create a gamertag that feels like you. Gamertags that are not unique or contain non-Latin characters may have a suffix and will continue to support up to 12 characters.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>XBOX 360 Achievements Now in Game Hubs</strong></h2>



<p>We&#8217;ve added game hubs in game cards for XBOX 360 games. Now, when you open the game card for any installed XBOX 360 game, you&#8217;ll be able to quickly view achievement progress, captures, and other useful information. We&#8217;ve also added detailed achievement popups from any XBOX 360 game&#8217;s achievement list in your profile. Happy achievement hunting!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Play With Cloud When Your Game Needs An Update</strong></h2>



<p>When you’re ready to play, an update doesn’t have to slow you down. If a game requires an update and is available to stream through your Game Pass membership, you can start playing immediately with cloud gaming and queue your game to update when you&#8217;re done playing. You&#8217;ll also see the option to launch with cloud gaming directly from the game card when a game is installing or updating. That means less waiting and more time playing.</p>

<p>It feels like just yesterday that <em>Invincible VS </em>launched, and the support from our community has been nothing short of amazing. Now, we’re excited to keep things going and welcome our first two DLC characters into the game – the unstoppable Universa and the looks-great-for-his-age superhuman, The Immortal, both launching on June 30!</p>

<p>First up is Universa. The Chosen of her people, she is a lone cosmic warrior tasked with saving her dying world. With her mighty Staff of Leadership, she can absorb and unleash massive amounts of energy, but only while it is in her grasp. Driven by duty above all else, Universa will stop at nothing to drain planet Earth of its energy resources in order to bring salvation to her own world, no matter the cost.</p>

<p>In <em>Invincible VS</em>, Universa is a highly technical Fighter built around momentum and resource control. Her power grows immensely as her Boost Meter fills, and she can even siphon Boost energy from her opponents to weaken them as she gains strength, leaving them extremely vulnerable to her attacks. Universa is versatile and well balanced, and is at her best when players are able to master her Max Boost Specials to completely devastate her foes.</p>

<p>I’ll let you in on a tip for Universa: One of our team’s favorite moves is her “Entropy” super, which allows her to absorb incoming projectiles and convert them into Boost gauge. This works great for getting through some assists or dealing with characters like Ella Mental or Cecil who rely on heavy projectiles. If you can master Universa’s tit-for-tat energy absorption and release, she may just become your new main.</p>

<p>Next is The Immortal, and yes, his name is quite fitting. He is one of the oldest living characters within the Invincibleuniverse, and his origin is a true mystery. The Immortal has lived many lives as a warrior, king, knight, crusader and now, leader of the Guardians of the Globe. Relentless and hardened by battle, he carries an incredible amount of grief from centuries-spanning loss, especially after surviving Omni-Man’s massacre of the original Guardians of the Globe. Though not a Viltrumite himself, The Immortal possesses similar powers and will never back down from a fight, no matter who stands before him.</p>

<p>In<em> Invincible VS</em>, The Immortal is an aggressive Striker Fighter who excels at closing distance and overwhelming opponents with relentless pressure. His explosive moveset lets him attack from multiple angles, while his Install Super boosts his speed and combo potential even further. True to his name, he also has a unique Revive ability that can bring him back into the fight once per match, allowing him to return in a berserk state and continue beating up his opponents.</p>

<p>One super cool aspect of The Immortal that we think fans will love is his walk-off. For a character that’s had so many iconic entrances and exits throughout the years, we made sure to give him a proper animation to fit, and might I say, it’s one of the best animations in the game. You’ll want to pay attention to that once the round ends.</p>

<p>Better yet, you can check it early at Evo! We’re heading to Las Vegas from Friday, June 26 to Sunday, June 28, and attendees can swing by our Quarter Up booth to go hands-on with Universa and The Immortal before anyone else. Who knows, you might just find your new main!</p>



<p>We’re also honored to say that <em>Invincible VS </em>is an official Evo tournament partner, and we can’t wait to see the highest caliber players face off against each other throughout the whole weekend. As expected, the stakes are high. The first-place winner gets more than just bragging rights; they get to take home quite the spectacle – a life-sized Conquest Gauntlet trophy! May the best player win.</p>

<p>I was about halfway through my hands-on time with <a href="https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/star-wars-galactic-racer-deluxe-edition/9P5X1SGXHTHW/"><strong><em>Star Wars: Galactic Racer</em></strong></a> when I realized I’m probably not that great at this – but boy was I having fun. What helped me look past my lack of racing ability was in part that I bleed Star Wars, and I’ve been looking forward to piloting these hyper speedy craft ever since the game’s announcement last year. Really, I should have expected this level of challenge going in – after all this <em>is</em> the Galactic League where only the finest and bravest racers in the galaxy dare to compete. I had my work cut out for me. </p>



<p>During my recent hands-on time with <em>Galactic Racer </em>at this past Summer Game Fest: Play Days, I was able to enjoy about an hour of gameplay across both the campaign and arcade modes and found not only an incredibly competent, fun, and challenging racer, but also one with tremendous depth and replayability that could give this title some real staying power. </p>

<p>Starting with the single-player campaign, I stepped into the shoes of the mysterious Shade, a seasoned racer who has some beef with one of the league’s current champions, Kestar Bool, and is looking to settle matters on the track. It’s a classic narrative setup with some Star Wars panache, but I wasn’t expecting this – most racing games hardly lift a finger to put a face to a name, much less give you cinematic storytelling like what’s on display here. The developers at Fuse Games understood the assignment to not only get you racing but drop you into the Star Wars universe even further and make you care about what’s happening both on and off track – now I understand the difference between an Ardennian and a Besalisk and I’m the better for it. </p>



<p>When you’re ready to get racing, you’ll have the choice of three chassis that influence your playstyle: landspeeder, speeder bike, and skim speeder and each feels distinct and incredibly fun to race in each their own way – the landspeeder has a real weight to it and specializes in drifting around corners; the speeder bike delivers great straight-line speed but harder to control around corners; and the skim speeder is essentially the TIE Fighter equivalent of a speeder, made for hard banking turns and one of the more difficult frames to control. </p>



<p>For most of my time with the game I was behind the controls of the landspeeder, electing to trade off topline speed for endurance as I would quickly find that <em>racing </em>also includes bumping your competition off the track – and this is a tactic that’s actively encouraged to increase your chances to win.</p>

<p>See, each speeder comes equipped with an Afterburner, giving you a brief boost that recharges during the race for you to use multiple times, but also comes equipped with a Ramjet – a special high-risk/high-reward component that gives you an incredible boost that helps with knocking your opponent off the track, but it comes at the cost of overheating. One time I pushed this as far as it could go just to see what would happen and the results were… catastrophic. </p>



<p>The campaign structure is built around a Galactic Tour spanning three acts which is randomized each time you start a tour; each tour takes you through a series of events across a range of planets, with progression secured by completing an escalating series of races. <em>Galactic Racer</em> categorizes this as a “runs-based solo campaign” meaning that you’ll have branching paths to consider during the tour – each route can yield different rewards that you can apply to your speeder. This variety is great, giving you multiple options each time you decide to undertake a Galactic Tour. </p>



<p>In between races, you can improve the base stats on your speeder to use in subsequent races during the Tour – the higher you finish, the more Upgrades you can apply. These impact elements like Afterburner, Battery, Cornering, and Ramjet, as well as the unique traits for each of the speeders – Drift (landspeeder), Kinetic Burst (speeder bike), and Knife Edge (skim speeder). I really like this variety of customization that can change race to race; do you opt to increase your Afterburner? Or should you invest in improved Cornering? It’s up to you.</p>

<p>This also touches on the challenge of the game. You need a League Entry Token to compete on a tour. Crash too many times or fail to place in the top 3 in a particular event, the Token is revoked and your journey is over, forcing you to begin anew to race qualifiers to earn a Token once again. Some items are retained, like Galactic Credits, but it’s a punch in the gut when you get knocked out. Especially in my case when I was so close to the end of the tour, only to get a little cocky (should’ve listened to Han) and was eliminated, forced to start over. This doesn’t affect the overall narrative as far as I could tell – you’re still out to get Kestar Bool, eventually. This is merely a setback. </p>



<p>Among the real stars of the show are the tracks themselves, which are all massive and intricately detailed, dotted with Star Wars bits that lend them both a feeling of familiar yet alien, like the battle scared landscape of Jakku, the tropical forests of Lantaana, or the frozen Ando Prime which make up some of the six distinct worlds you can race across. Couple that with a variety of tracks to race on each planet and you’ll quickly see there’s an incredible depth here to master should you want to come out on top against some of the galaxies’ finest racers. Beyond the track, I also appreciated the down time between races in the paddocks, areas where you could freely walk around and talk to other racers, upgrade your craft, and pick up unique parts from vendors, using Galactic Credits earned from your races. </p>



<p>On top of this, we also tried out the arcade mode that has curated events featuring speeders and locations across the league, putting you in the seat of some racers you might recognize, like the legendary Sebulba. For our one race in this mode, we sped across the famous Tatooine track featured in “Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.” As far as we could tell, this felt like a 1:1 recreation with incredible audio and visual fidelity. That deep humming tick-tick-tick-tick sound of Sebubla’s split-x engines brought me back to watching him speed across the screen in the movie theater. Did I do well? Heck no. But I’m looking forward to my next go around the track.</p>

<p>There’s seemingly a lot to master under the hood of each of these unique speeders and game modes. And that’s not to mention the various upgrades you can apply that can give you an edge between races, the distinct tracks on each planet, and the competition from the variety of racers; with all that, you have an infinitely replayable and enjoyable racer on your hands. I’m not gonna say it… nope… ok, fine. Now <em>this </em>is podracing! </p>
