Among the more pleasant reveals of the Xbox Games Showcase this year was that Age of Mythology: Retold from World's Edge would be coming to Xbox in addition to PC. The real-time strategy genre tends to be a little dry, but the Age of Mythology series overcomes that limitation by featuring awesome mythological gods and creatures. Console and PC gamers will get to experience that magical strategy mixture when it arrives on September 4.

We don't know yet whether this year's Call of Duty (Black Ops 6) will feature a co-op mode, but they usually do. Microsoft and Activision have announced that the game will be revealed to the world on June 9, so we're hoping to find out some co-op details soon. What's more, Microsoft also announced today that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be coming to Xbox Game Pass at launch. That's a big get for Xbox, and surely one of the reasons that Microsoft bought Activision in the first place.

Ninja Turtles fans have been hotly anticipating the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, the upcoming beat 'em up from Dotemu and Tribute Games.

Although the Serious Sam series originated on PC, it has a long history of console ports as well. That's why we're seriously stoked that Devolver Digital and Croteam have finally released Serious Sam 4 on Xbox Series S|X (and Game Pass!) and PlayStation 5, complete with 4-player online co-op.

Just over a week ago, Microsoft announced that the Xbox exclusive Space Jam: A New Legacy - The Game would launch first as a free perk for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Subscribers. Not surprisingly, that prediction has come to pass. Ultimate members can indeed download the new Space Jam game, a pretty good beat 'em up with 3-player lo...

Way back in 1996, Space Jam was an improbable movie that actually happened. 25 years later, almost as improbably, the sequel Space Jam: A New Legacy is coming to theaters and HBO Max on July 16. And just as unlikely from a probability standpoint, Microsoft has announced Space Jam: A New Legacy - The Game, a beat 'em up with 3-player local co-op, for Xbox and Windows 10. Talk about slammin'!

E3 2021 is the first E3 since Microsoft acquired Bethesda, and today’s Microsoft and Bethesda Games Showcase is the first joint E3 press conference from the two companies. The 90-minute event revealed a number of new and previously announced games that will be coming to Xbox and PC in 2021 and 2022. Naturally, we’re most psyched for the 10 co-op games featured in the showcase.

If you're enjoying all free games that are part of Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass, but also wondering when they'll be adding a new co-op title to that mix, good news! Rebellion's four player co-op FPS, Strange Brigade, has been added to the program.

343 Industries dropped a big update for Halo: The Master Chief Collection earlier this week that includes a number of enhancements and improvements, but it also adds perhaps one of the most requested features for certain folks: LAN play with no Internet connection required.

Some co-op favorite will be available via Xbox Game Pass this month. These games include Zombie Army Trilogy, Human: Fall Flat and Warhammer Vermintide 2.

The ever-growing library features over 100 titles, and new games are coming at different points throughout July.
