12 Arcade Archives Giochi Released for Xbox in September and October 2026

As you’ve probably seen, we’ve started a new format in recent months where we highlight each day’s new Xbox releases based on the games we already know about, but in some cases, they end up sneaking past the list.

That’s especially the case when it comes to Arcade Archives titles, as they’re often announced at the last minute and essentially shadow dropped onto the Xbox Store. We’ve rounded them up a couple times this year – once in May and once in August – and we thought we’d do the same for September and October as well.

So, throughout September and October, these are the 12 new Xbox Arcade Archives releases:

• Arcade Archives 2 ARKANOID REVENGE OF DOH (September 2)
• Arcade Archives 2 Wiz (September 2)
• Arcade Archives 2 KARNOV (September 9)
• Arcade Archives 2 DACHOLER (September 16)
• Arcade Archives 2 Mr.Do!’s Castle (September 16)
• Arcade Archives 2 XEVIOUS 3D/G (September 23)
• Arcade Archives 2 BALLOON BOMBER (September 30)
• Arcade Archives 2 CRAZY BALLOON (September 30)
• Arcade Archives 2 FIGHTING GOLF (October 7)
• Arcade Archives 2 STINGER (October 14)
• Arcade Archives 2 THUNDERCADE (October 14)
• Arcade Archives 2 ACE DRIVER VICTORY LAP (October 22)

In terms of what’s worth it here, Ace Driver Victory Lap certainly catches the eye – it’s a Namco arcade game from 1996 that serves as a sequel to “Ace Driver” (which is also already part of the Arcade Archives series).

There are also a few other notable releases in the list, including some that Evercade fans may recognise such as a side-scrolling beat ’em up called Karnov, and a couple of old Taito arcade games in Balloon Bomber and Crazy Balloon.

Each link in that list leads to the Xbox Store page for the respective games, allowing readers to check them out and see whether anything catches their eye. A few more Arcade Archives titles are also expected to be added before the end of October, and the list will be updated should that occur.

For now, here is some footage from a couple of these games:
