It’s Not E3 season, which means Summer Game Fest is set for Friday and Xbox’s high-stakes showcase streams a few days later.

Lauded RPG Octopath Traveler has returned to the platform along with its slightly less lauded but equally gorgeous-looking sequel Octopath Traveler 2.

Those looking for something new should keep eyes peeled on Still Wakes the Deep, horror game set on an oil rig that’s going day 1 on the service.
