Last night, we covered all the 20+ Xbox reveals from the Future Games Show Spring Showcase 2026, and we mentioned how two Xbox Game Pass titles were part of the coverage – Aphelion and There Are No Ghosts At The Grand.
Aphelion is a game we’ve seen before, but it never had a release date until now – that date is April 28th, 2026. The new trailer shows off more of what we can expect from Aphelion’s gameplay, which sees you playing as an astronaut who needs to battle the elements, the terrain and lurking threats which all pose a threat to your survival.
There Are No Ghosts At The Grand was first revealed at last year’s Xbox Games Showcase, and it’s described as a “musical mystery unlike any other”. The new trailer leans into the musical side of things by providing us with a bizarre live performance interspersed with gameplay clips, but unfortunately we didn’t get a release date with this one; it’s still penned in for 2026, but with no specific window nailed down.
We’re going to leave you with both of these trailers below, along with a few details about each game.
However, before we get there, we just wanted to mention about Super Meat Boy 3D as well – this wasn’t shown off during the Future Games Show, but it was briefly listed by Nintendo yesterday as having a release date of March 31st, 2026. That date has since been removed, so we don’t know if it’s definitely set in stone just yet. At the very least, it’s worth keeping in mind that it might be releasing in just a couple of weeks’ time.
Let’s focus on the Future Games Show though — here are those two Xbox Game Pass titles with new trailers:
Aphelion (April 28, 2026) (Xbox Game Pass)
Aphelion is a mystery-tinged intergalactic action-adventure where you fight to survive on a frozen planet. A new trailer aired during the Spring Showcase, showcasing more gameplay and nodding towards the game’s release date of April 28. It’s coming to PC, PlayStation and Xbox, and pre-orders are available now.
There Are No Ghosts At The Grand – Musical Performance (TBD) (Xbox Game Pass)
Developers Friday Sundae shared a musical performance from There Are No Ghosts at the Grand, the studio’s Lovecraftian renovation game… that also happens to be a musical. It’s coming to PC & Xbox later this year, and your wishlists very soon, we hope.
Excited for either of these in particular? Let us know down in the comments section below.
