It appears like Xbox is turning into a fan of slipping bonus video games into the Xfield Sport Cross line-up. Beforehand, we have seen the likes of Technology Zero and a triple-threat of Gorogoa, Olija and The Pedestrian arrive on the service with none fanfare.
Now, in July 2022, we’re seeing Microsoft do it once more. This time, the sport that is arriving for Xbox and PC gamers is Backyard Story, a really chill recreation set in a comfy little village that sees you arrive as the latest guardian of the Grove, whose obligation it’s rebuild the village and uncover the story of its hidden previous. It involves the service on July 12.
The sport attracts on many genres – you may discover little nods in the direction of farming sims, dungeon crawlers, even hardcore action-RPGs in there – however, finally, the title stands by itself to be a fairly distinctive title. You will have to discover the Grove all through the 4 seasons, every time of yr bringing in its personal issues and advantages. You will full day by day requests to defend, restore, and enhance the city, and as you progress you may unlock recollections that permit the principle character, Harmony the grape, to harness the facility of their predecessors.

Our buddies at Rock, Paper, Shotgun have outlined the sport’s nature in a overview from final yr:
Take it gradual, says Backyard Story. Sure, peril approaches, however fences want fixing simply as monsters want slaying. Combating to avoid wasting the world is a lofty summary. As an alternative, battle to avoid wasting the soil and the sky, the frogs and the flowers, the clever cacti and the speaking pickles. Battle like solely a grape in a inexperienced bucket hat armed with a parasol can.
From that alone, I am fairly intrigued. This recreation addition comes after we discovered that Yakuza, PowerWash Simulator and Final Name BBS are being added to the service in July, too. Additionally, on the finish of June, we clocked Home Flipper’s arrival on Xbox Sport Cross and Cloud Gaming.
It is a good time to have a subscription, proper?
