AdHoc Studios is expanding the reach of its acclaimed superhero comedy game Dispatch by launching it on Xbox platforms this summer. The game will be available on Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, Xbox PC, and through Xbox Cloud, benefiting Xbox players with its Play Anywhere integration. Until now, Dispatch had been accessible on PC, PlayStation, and later on Nintendo Switch, but the Xbox family was missing from the lineup-until now.
Dispatch centers around Robert Robertson, voiced by Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame, who faces a career wipeout as a disgraced superhero. Tasked with managing a chaotic squad of superheroes via dispatch, the player navigates a mix of chaos and comedy in this witty, heartfelt narrative. The game’s sharp script and unusual premise helped it earn a spot as one of the best games of 2025, ranking fifth in The Verge’s Games of 2025 top 50.
This Xbox release was announced during the Xbox Partner Preview showcase, marking the final major platform for Dispatch’s multi-console rollout. With Xbox Play Anywhere, players will be able to start playing on their console and continue seamlessly on PC or through Xbox Cloud, a feature increasingly important as Microsoft unifies its gaming ecosystem. Dispatch’s blend of humor, character-driven storytelling, and superhero antics fits neatly into Microsoft’s push for diverse experiences on Xbox Game Pass and beyond.
For Xbox gamers who have yet to experience Dispatch, its arrival offers a lively, unconventional take on the superhero genre that avoids clichés in favor of quirky charm and character dynamics. Those who missed it on other platforms now have a chance to catch up-and join Robert Robertson in his misfit capers.
