It’s been a little over a month since fans around the world enjoyed the Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct, and we’re excited to announce that within seven days of it airing, we’ve racked up over 92 million views for our first-ever double-feature trailer and segments from the shows – a 38% increase in viewership compared to last year’s show. It’s the highest rated and most watched show for Xbox ever! We can’t thank you enough for being a part of it, and we hope you’re as excited about the future of Xbox as we are.
From our own games – like starfield, Forza Motorsport, Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga, fable, South of midnight, Explained, Clockwork Revolution, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Towerborne, and more – for those coming to Xbox from our partners around the world – Star Wars Outlaws, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Cities: skylines 2, 33 immortals, and more – our show aimed to offer something for every type of gamer. Whether you’re an RPG fanatic, an indie curiosity collector, a PC gamer, a console owner, or even a gaming newbie, we’re sure there was something that piqued your interest.
Overall, viewers from around the world were the first to catch the reveal of 27 games (13 from our First Party Studios and 21 of which will be available with Game Pass), not to mention a new console in the form of the Carbon Black Xbox Series S And we followed that up with Xbox Games Showcase Extended, which gave you even more to see from new announcements like high in life“High on Knife DLC” to dive deep into the games of our studios and partner teams.
We’d like to thank all the teams involved, from the studios themselves, who worked tirelessly to bring their games to the show (many of them showing their projects for the first time), to the many, many people who worked behind it have The scenes help make the show a success.
Above all, we would like to say thank you You for your curiosity, your enthusiasm and your support. Xbox’s mission is to bring the joy of gaming to everyone, wherever they are – and your excitement at seeing the future of Xbox helps us know we’re on the right track.
We saw that around the world as fans attended our in-person FanFest events in Los Angeles, Mexico City, São Paulo, Melbourne and Warsaw to celebrate the reveals together. These shows are nothing if you don’t see them, and we couldn’t be happier at the surprise and delight we’ve seen on the day and in the weeks since.
Of course we’re not done yet. Not nearly. In August, Xbox is heading to gamescom in Germany, the world’s biggest gaming event – and we’ll be setting up our biggest booth ever to showcase the incredible games we have for you. There will be more news about our trade fair appearance in the next few weeks – stay tuned!
We have a lot more to show in the coming months and years and can’t wait to share it with you.
