What Zaxoid is
Zaxoid is an arcade game developed by M80 Games and released in 2026. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity 2022.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Defend your planet in this twin-stick mayhem shooter. Rip through alien hordes across a seamless spherical battlefield while upgrading your ship and fortifying your city.
How it plays
Its themes are action. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 25 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Zaxoid holds a critic score of 78 out of 100. That places it above 63% of the 2,164 rated arcade games in our database, which average 70. Games released in 2026 averaged 78, so it scored about average for its year.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for AMD or Intel, 16 GB RAM and GPU. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 1GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Zaxoid launched on 14 April 2026, within three weeks of Pragmata, Replaced, Saros and Mouse: P.I. For Hire. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 6 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Pragmata, Replaced, Saros, Mouse: P.I. For Hire.
