The week continues to add new releases to the Xbox catalog, and this Wednesday arrives with a curious combination of titles that range from frantic action in microgame format, to role-playing adventure with turn-based combat and a charming platformer starring a cat thief. A varied offer that, although it doesn’t include big-budget productions, can still provide hours of entertainment for those seeking different experiences.

On this occasion, the proposals include releases for both Xbox Series and an Xbox One exclusive title, which expands the range of options for those still playing on the previous generation.

All the games arriving today, August 13, on Xbox

• DUCK: Dangerous Ultimate Cartridge Kidnapper (Xbox Series) – A collection of 100 microgames of progressive difficulty, with a touch of humor and quick challenges that will put your reflexes to the test.

• Faye Falling (Xbox Series) – A turn-based RPG that adds minigames to dodge attacks, with a storyline that explores redemption and sacrifice.

• Midnight Cat Heist (Xbox One) – 2D platformer with a retro aesthetic, where you play as a cat thief in a series of daring nighttime missions.

With this trio of releases, August continues to add variety to the Xbox catalog, and there’s still room for new announcements to arrive before Gamescom, which will take place from August 19 to 20.
