Following its acclaim as one of the standout narrative experiences of 2025, Dispatch is officially available now on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. AdHoc Studio's critically praised workplace comedy brings its superhero dispatch system and choose-your-adventure mechanics to Microsoft's console platforms alongside full Xbox Play Anywhere support.

Quick Facts

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox PC app, and PC handhelds
  • Price: £24.99 / $29.99 (currently 10% off at launch)
  • Developer/Publisher: AdHoc Studio

For players unfamiliar with the title, Dispatch casts you as Robert Robertson—also known as the hero Mecha Man. After a battle with his nemesis destroys his mech-suit, Robertson takes a desk job at a superhero dispatch center rather than hanging up his cape entirely. Players must manage a roster of ex-supervillains, navigate office relationships, and rebuild their suit for a shot at revenge through quick-time events, narrative choices, and tactical dispatch decisions.

Xbox Play Anywhere and Pricing Details

The Xbox launch includes full Xbox Play Anywhere compatibility. Purchasing the game digitally on Xbox grants players access to the title on the Xbox PC app and supported PC handheld devices at no additional cost, sharing progression and achievements across platforms.

The game carries a standard launch price of £24.99 / $29.99, accompanied by an introductory 10% discount for early buyers. Unlike certain alternate console iterations, the Xbox release arrives completely uncensored.
