The Xbox Showcase is fast approaching and we tell you all about one of the most anticipated conferences of Summer Game Fest 2023! Date, time, location and expected games.
Summer Game Fest 2023 is in full swing and after the big show on June 8th it’s Xbox’s turn to put on the show. The upcoming big conference will last almost two hours. It goes without saying that this Xbox Showcase is highly anticipated as there are likely to be numerous announcements. Whether they are exclusive reveals or from third-party developers.
The fact is that Xbox has a big role to play in this conference, which will serve as the last chance for the brand. There hasn’t been any sign of life from the exclusivities repeatedly cited for the sale of the Xbox Game Pass for a long time. And with the little they’ve released so far, they’ve had a hard time convincing. The latest, Redfall, is a good example. So it means that Xbox will release the big game, it’s now or never.
Where and when can I watch the Xbox Showcase?
And that’s all we hope for! Xbox has already warned there will be no false promises this time. While the company promised last year that all featured games would be released within the next 12 months, that won’t be the case here. We have high goals, we have big goals, but we have realistic goals.
We’ll see that very soon as the Xbox Showcase will be held online June 11 at 7 p.m
Xbox Game Pass subscribers get their money’s worth
Don’t miss it, it’s a bit the niche of this Xbox Showcase. Microsoft has the door wide open. Especially since the latest PlayStation Showcase didn’t attract as much attention from the competitor as expected. And that despite very big announcements. With Xbox, therefore, all the lights are green to present its ecosystem. We also expect many games announced in Xbox Game Pass on day one and even a highlight of the latter, especially with the presentation of its Friends & Family formula.
An offer that allows you to share a single subscription with multiple people at a lower cost. A formula that promises to be economical and beneficial, but hasn’t proven itself here or in the US. It goes without saying that this offer should definitely attract new subscribers.
The game catalog is now renewed every month with new titles from all areas. On the other hand, as mentioned above, Xbox has been struggling to impress with these exclusives for a while. That’s why this Xbox Showcase is so important.
Exclusive products that are long overdue
To say Xbox is highly anticipated by its underdogs is an understatement. The latter will still appear in great numbers, but few have shown themselves recently. Among the games whose existence is confirmed, we particularly expect news from titles of the likes of Forza Motorsport or Hellblade 2. Games have been announced for a long time but are still stingy with information. However, both are expected this year.
Teased titles we don’t know much about yet, such as the Indiana Jones from Bethesda or Explained from obsidian. Apps that can also surprise with attractive gameplay or additional information. Xbox has also claimed that none of its trailers will be CGI only. Gameplay will be the focus. But most of all, it’s the big surprises that everyone hopes for.
Fable 4 and Gears 6 could destroy everything on the Xbox Series
For example, a specific Fable 4 is expected and has been teased a lot over the past few weeks, although some are still trying to say it won’t be available. There’s a good chance this highly anticipated RPG will be featured at this Xbox Showcase. And he would manage to organize the event on his own.
Another strong and long-awaited license, war gear which could be coming here with Gears 6, an episode that we know absolutely nothing about at the moment. However, the Xbox Series does not yet have the right to its home episode, and gears 5 starts dating now. It would therefore be the right time for the brand to pull out all the stops. Of course, these are just some of the games that could be shown during the Xbox Showcase. Other titles can and certainly will come to the fore like State of Decay 3, a regular at conferences, The Outer Worlds 2, everwild and more. As well as games that have already been released, they will surely talk about their next content Hello infinity, Forza Horizon 5 or Sea of Thievesthe Xbox team’s Star Service games.
Very large third-party games will also be included
But in addition to the exclusive games, Xbox should also give credit to games from third-party developers and some partnerships. Hard to miss lately, but the merger of Microsoft and Activision Blizzard is undeniable, even if the acquisition hasn’t been confirmed. For this reason, we attach great importance to the presence of call of Duty during this Xbox Showcase. The episode of 2023, Modern Warfare 3, about which we both know everything and nothing, has not yet been revealed to the public. Pretty strange, although the latter is due to see the light of day at the end of the year. During Geoff Keighley’s show, the license was content to talk about Warzone and the next season of the FPS. Which is still a lot less attractive.
Another close partnership that is likely to make waves at the conference is the marriage between Microsoft and Altus. To tempt Japanese gamers, Xbox is redoubling its efforts. Last year he announced the launch of all Persona games on Xbox and a merger with Altus. A small union that will shine again here. Yes, since Persona 3 Remake is a brand new game persona 5 should be presented at the event. In fact, there is no longer any doubt about it. In fact, the two games recently fell victim to a major leak. And Altus himself is the cause.
Finally the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 DLC, phantom freedom, should also be part of it. Since we weren’t there on the evening of June 8th, it would be very strange if the game didn’t come out before the end of the celebrations. What’s better than the Xbox Showcase? The rest is pretty mysterious. The independent scene should also amaze us with a few small nuggets. Some may even arrive once they release on Xbox Game Pass. In addition, fans are desperately awaiting the return of Silksong, which has been postponed until next year and finally only appears during the Xbox and Nintendo conferences. do we ever know
And you, what do you expect from this Xbox Showcase?
