'Dispatch' Comes To Xbox Series X|S This Summer With Play Anywhere And Cross-save Support - Trailer

by Rainier on March 26, 2026 @ 11:25 a.m. PDT

Set in modern-day Los Angeles, Dispatch is a superhero workplace comedy where choices matter.

Manage a dysfunctional team of misfit heroes and strategize who to send to emergencies around the city, all while balancing office politics, personal relationships, and your own quest to become a hero.

You play as Robert Robertson, AKA Mecha Man, whose mech-suit is destroyed in a battle against his nemesis, forcing him to take a job at a superhero dispatch center: not as a hero, but a dispatcher. In charge of rehabilitating a group of ex-supervillains, you must manage your roster while navigating office relationships and rebuilding your suit for a shot at revenge.

While the main goal is to strategically send the team on epic missions, players must also navigate messy relationships, office politics, and life-or-death decisions.

Blending narrative, strategy, and humor, Dispatch explores what it means to be a hero, whether you're wearing a cape or behind a desk.

With over 4 million copies sold, AdHoc Studio announced that Dispatch is heading to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC (including supported gaming handhelds) later this summer.

On Xbox, Dispatch will launch as a full-featured version of the original PC release, complete with Xbox Play Anywhere support. A single purchase unlocks the experience on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and supported gaming handhelds, with seamless cross-save functionality that allows players to carry their choices - and their consequences - between platforms without interruption.

Dispatch is ultimately about people - messy, complicated, and just trying their best. Bringing it to Xbox with full Play Anywhere support means more players can experience the complete story however and wherever they want.” - Michael Choung, Executive Producer at AdHoc Studio.

Key Features:

  • In Dispatch, every decision you make influences the unfolding narrative. From banter in the breakroom to life-or-death situations in the field, your choices affect your relationships with the heroes, their allegiances, and the path your own story takes.
  • Use the strategy map to review ongoing emergencies and deploy the right (or wrong) heroes to deal with them. Balance the risks and rewards as you make tactical decisions, knowing that each choice can have lasting consequences for your team and the city.
  • Managing heroes sometimes goes beyond their powers. Each hero comes with quirks, flaws, and baggage you’ll need to navigate to keep the team together. Upgrade their skills and unlock abilities to boost their effectiveness in the field.

Currently available for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC (Steam) and PS5, Dispatch is coming to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC (including supported gaming handhelds) later this summer.
