The hangover after the Xbox Games Showcase 2023 is still lasting for us. The event was quite powerful and the general feeling is that it was one of the best digital events of recent times. Starfield was largely to blame, but the rest of the games that were on the grid were heavily commented on and continue to spark debate today.

Thanks to news on games like Fable and Clockwork, as well as the upcoming DLC Cyberpunk 2077, it made 2.3 million viewers. It also made it the most popular exhibition in terms of average online viewers among the four editions held so far. Of course, there were also updates on big titles like Starfield, Persona, and Star Wars, which meant fan interest was pretty high.
