Nine different titles coming at you this week. And a bunch more that were Japan only or releases that were already out an other consoles that I was too lazy to write about. I’m most excited for the new FIFA which lets you play as Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond. The art style in Grounded and NeverAwake also looks pretty great.
