Eight new Xbox game releases are set to hit the platform next week, including the former Stadia-exclusive Gylt and the classic NES platformer Gimmick! Special Edition. The lineup for the week includes a mix of adventure, puzzle, and platforming games.
One of the most anticipated releases is Tequila Works’ Gylt, which was previously exclusive to Stadia. The game will be available on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One starting July 6. Gylt is an adventure game set in a creepy and melancholic world, where players must navigate through a surrealist place where nightmares become reality. They can choose to hide from or confront terrible creatures as they face the challenges of this wicked world.

City Limits is another game releasing on July 6 for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. In this game, players can relax and build cities on a desolate tranquil island. They must plan ahead to efficiently cover the island by combining buildings and cementing their place on a tile. However, they must be cautious as an entity spreads each turn, attempting to take over barren or unstable tiles.
Other games releasing next week include Echoblade on July 3, Sword and Fairy: Together Forever on July 5, Full Quiet and Garlic on July 7, and Safari Pinball on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows.
