During Microsoft"s Xbox Partner Preview showcase today, developer AdHoc Studio had a surprise for Xbox fans. Its hugely well-received adventure game, Dispatch, is coming to Xbox platforms, finally bringing over the workplace comedy experience involving a superhero dispatch network.
The title went onto sell over three million copies when it launched back in 2025 across PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5 platforms.
For those unfamiliar with the title, Dispatch has you taking the role of Robert Robertson, a former hero who has taken a desk job at the Superhero Dispatch Network. The gameplay mostly involves sending the right hero for the job for whatever emergency that pops up.
However, it"s the characters, relationships, and the options players have for driving the story that set the title apart. The developer is made up of former Telltale members, bringing their branching plotline expertise into this experience too.
“One of our longstanding problems with some of the narrative-based games we’d worked on in the past was that we’d have these great interactive cinematic story scenes where we were advancing the character relationships and the story, followed by gameplay that often felt tacked on, slowed down the pacing, and was less-focused on the characters," says Dispatch co-creative director Dennis Lenart. "Solving that disconnect was one of our main goals at AdHoc, and Dispatch was the first example of it working."
Dispatch is releasing on Xbox Series X|S consoles and PC via the Xbox store sometime this summer for $29.99.
Moreover, it has been confirmed that the Xbox version of Dispatch will be a Play Anywhere title. This means players can purchase it on the Xbox store and play it across an Xbox console, PC, or even a Windows handheld with all progress synced and without having to pay multiple times.
