Microsoft Gaming has confirmed that the Xbox Games Showcase is set to return in 2025. The livestream will air on Sunday, June 8, and is designed to bring you a look at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Xbox Series X games fro🔥m Microsoft's "first-party studios, in addition to incredible ne𝓡w titles from our third-party partners across the globe."

Xbox is also set to bring back the double feature framing, following the Starfield Direct in 2023 and the Black Ops 6 Direct in 2024. These dedicated sessions dive deep into one specific title following the main showcase, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Outer Worlds 2 given the honors in 2025.

Xbox promises that The 🐬Outer Wilds 2 Diꦓrect will "bring you inside the walls of Obsidian Entertainment, revealing new gameplay, details, and developer insights."

The presence of The Outer Worlds 2 Direct sets the sci-fi RPG as one of the key Xbox Series X for the remainder of 2025, following the delay of the long-awaited 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fable reboot into next year.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Game Studios also has 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:State of Decay 3 in development at Undead Labs, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gears of War: E-Day at The Coalition, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Clockwork Revolution at inXile, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Perfect Dark at The Initiative with TBC re♔lease dates, although it wouldn't be a surprise to see all four of thes꧙e at the Xbox Games Showcase 2025.

What's more unknown is whether we'll finally get an update on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel's Blade from Arkane, Rare's Everwild, or Bethesda's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Elder Scrolls 6. And there's even less chance of getting anything new on OD, given that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hideo Kojima is currently working to get 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death Stranding 2 out the door on June 26 for PS5.

The Xbox Games Showcase 2025, followed by The Outer 🦄Worlds 2 Direct, will air on June 8 a𓄧t the following times:

  • PDT: June 8, 10am
  • EDT: June 8, 1pm
  • BST: June 8, 6pm
  • CET: June 8, 7pm
  • JST: June 9, 2am
  • AEST: June 9, 3am

While the Xbox Games Showcase 2024 had an in-person component, live from Los Angeles, the 2025 offering will be a digital-only presentation. Still, it will run in the position previously occupied by E3 – and now 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest.

The big question on my mind right now is whether Xbox has the ability to draw attention away from the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 (which is set to launch on June 5) or the firepower to battle for attention against GTA 6, for w🀅hich 🎃Rockstar could drop a second trailer for at any point.

It's an exciting time regardless, with Xbox enjoying one of its best years of the generation so far – learn more about all that in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avowed review and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:South of Midnight review.
