So there you go, plenty of new games to dive into! I know Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will be the main attraction for most people, but I am really glad to see the Monster Hunter Stories titles finally make it over to Xbox.

Personally, I’m still playing a fair bit of BALL x PIT, but I’ll probably jump into some Call of Duty multiplayer before long. I’m also keen on checking out Winter Burrow; it seems like it has the perfect vibes for a game to play during the twilight of fall.
