Microsoft has officially announced the upcoming slate of video game releases for Xbox platforms during the week of February 2 to 6, 2026. This diverse lineup brings a compelling mix of role-playing games, arena fighters, vehicular combat titles, and innovative indie experiences to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, including select Xbox Play Anywhere titles.
Major Franchise Returns and Licensed Titles
The week's highlights include several high-profile releases from established franchises and popular media properties. On February 4, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined arrives with completely refreshed diorama-style visuals, reworked game mechanics, and a streamlined narrative. This classic RPG puts players in the shoes of a young fisherman's son from Estard Island, embarking on a time-traveling adventure to uncover sealed lands and confront a growing conflict. The game is optimized for Xbox Series X|S and supports Xbox Play Anywhere functionality.
Following closely on February 5 is My Hero Academia: All's Justice, a 3D arena fighter based on the immensely popular anime and manga series. This title features an updated roster of characters from the franchise and offers multiple gameplay modes, including competitive battles and scenario-driven team missions set within the iconic U.A. High School environment.
Roguelite Vehicular Mayhem and Puzzle Adventures
February 6 marks the release of Carmageddon: Rogue Shift, which reinvents the vehicular combat series with a roguelite structure. The game emphasizes fast-paced, destructive racing where players earn currency between runs to unlock upgrades and new content. A unique elimination system ensures matches remain dynamic, with new drivers immediately replacing those who are taken out.
The same week also sees several smaller, creative indie titles launching on February 4. Hidden Cats in Christmas offers a festive hidden-object experience where players uncover hundreds of cats and characters, gradually adding color to each holiday scene. Tiny Biomes presents a tile-rotation puzzle format where players guide elements like water, snow, or lava to restore various environments across forest, volcanic, and winter settings.
Retro Action and Time-Traveling Collector's Edition
Also arriving on February 4 is Lovish, an 8-bit-styled action-adventure game built around short rooms, monster encounters, and unpredictable events between stages. New Yankee: Through the History Mirror Collector's Edition follows two parallel storylines, tasking players with navigating fantasy locations, solving intricate problems, and dealing with supernatural threats across different historical periods.
Pixel-Art RPG and Simulation Elements
On February 5, Dragon Spira delivers a pixel-art role-playing game featuring turn-based battles, deep job customization, and companion creatures that evolve throughout the story. The week concludes on February 6 with Car Cops, a police-themed simulation focused on traffic stops and street patrols, and Un.Key, a minimalist platformer where players rotate a small key through treacherous traps and tight spaces.
Several titles in this lineup support Smart Delivery, handheld optimization, or Xbox Play Anywhere features, though release dates remain subject to potential changes. This diverse collection ensures something for every type of gamer, from RPG enthusiasts and fighting game fans to puzzle solvers and simulation aficionados.
