According to social networks, Xbox hit the bull’s eye with its showcase last Sunday. According to fans and the curious, the Seattle giant fulfilled the contract with a selection of first and third parties that impressed. So did Bethesda and its record-breaking 45-minute Starfield Direct, which took players into the publisher’s next great space adventure.
This trend is not only noticeable in impressions, but also in viewers on streaming platforms. In fact, the StreamCharts website has compiled the dates of all June conferences by maximum viewership. The result speaks for itself:
As we can see, Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct topped this ranking even before the Summer Game Fest Opening Ceremony! Even more impressively, that first place is largely thanks to the deep dive of Bethesda Games Studios’ next game. Encouraging signals for the brand, which were expected at the turn.
And you, do you share this opinion?
