What Is MIO: Memories in Orbit, the Hollow Knight-Like Game Coming to Xbox Game Pass Soon?

The metroidvania genre has been on a bit of a tear since Hollow Knight, arguably becoming as oversaturated as the ever-busy soulslike market, but MIO: Memories in Orbit might just break the mold. The flashy, dramatic, and visually arresting side-scroller is slated for a January 20, 2026 release date, when it will launch day-and-date on Xbox Game Pass.
