AdHoc Studio has confirmed that Dispatch, its superhero workplace comedy, is heading to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud in summer 2026 with zero content cuts — a sharp contrast to the trimmed-down Nintendo Switch version.
The announcement came during the Xbox Partner Preview showcase, where AdHoc officially revealed the game's Microsoft platform debut. The studio made a point of clarifying that the Xbox version will ship uncensored, delivering the game exactly as originally intended.
What the Switch version changed, and why Xbox is different
When Dispatch launched on Nintendo Switch, AdHoc had to modify content to meet platform requirements. The studio hasn't detailed every change, but the Dispatch Wiki on Fandom confirms the game was censored on Switch due to platform-specific constraints.
Xbox's content policies are less restrictive, and AdHoc is using that flexibility to deliver the full experience. Players on Microsoft's platform will get the game without compromises, not a sanitized edition.
For a game centered on adult workplace dynamics and superhero absurdity, that matters. Dispatch leans into its mature comedic tone, and the Switch cuts likely dulled some of that edge.
Summer 2026 targets three Xbox platforms at once
The Xbox release covers Xbox Series X/S, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud simultaneously. That's a wide rollout, giving players options whether they're on console, desktop, or streaming.
The Xbox Cloud inclusion is notable for players who want to try Dispatch without committing to a download. It also signals that AdHoc is treating this as a proper platform launch, not a quiet port.
AdHoc's track record with Dispatch
Dispatch already landed on Nintendo Switch 1 and Switch 2 back in January 2026, so the team has platform porting experience. The Xbox rollout builds on that momentum, and the uncensored confirmation shows AdHoc is being deliberate about how the game lands on each platform.
The studio built Dispatch as a superhero workplace comedy with a specific tonal identity. Keeping that intact on Xbox, rather than adapting it to fit a different set of platform rules, is the version most players who've been following the game since its original release will want.
