Xbox Games Showcase: Start Time, How To Watch, And What To Expect

The next Xbox Games Showcase streams on Sunday, June 8, followed immediately by a look at Obsidian's upcoming RPG shooter sequel, The Outer Worlds 2 — here's when and where to stream both
You can stream the Xbox Games Showcase and the following Direct for The Outer Worlds 2 on GameSpot's YouTube, as well as the official Xbox YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook pages. Bethesda is also hosting the presentation on its YouTube and Twitch channels, as is Obsidian Entertainment on YouTube. The YouTube streams will be in 4K resolution at 60fps. And in a first, Xbox is also streaming the event on TikTok, featuring live commentary from host Ethan Rothamel and TikTok creator Senpapi Gabe.
Xbox Games Showcase and The Outer Worlds 2 Direct start time
The Xbox Games Showcase begins at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET on Sunday, June 8. The Outer Worlds 2 Direct starts immediately after the showcase concludes. Microsoft has not specified the duration of the presentation, but previous Xbox showcases have typically lasted around an hour, followed by a 30- to 45-minute Direct for a featured game.

What to expect
Besides The Outer Worlds 2, the Xbox team hasn't explicitly mentioned any other titles that will appear in the showcase. However, the studios under the Microsoft Gaming umbrella have several anticipated titles in development that we are aware of, which we could see this year.
Previous showcases have given us peeks at Gears of War: E-Day and a Perfect Dark reboot, and this showcase would be a perfect opportunity to reveal launch dates for both. And while the new Fable game from Playground Games was pushed back to 2026, the showcase could still provide us with some new gameplay footage.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is getting a free update this summer, so it's also possible that studio Ninja Theory will detail when it drops and what's included. The highly acclaimed Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is also getting story DLC this year, titled The Order of Giants, so it would be unsurprising to see a trailer and release date for it at this showcase.
On the Activision Blizzard side, there still hasn't been an official announcement on what this year's Call of Duty game will be, though it's rumored to be a new Black Ops game set in the future--a reveal could come at the showcase.
One thing that might have been revealed early is some further consolidation of Xbox/PC games on PC, as Xbox games have begun appearing in the Xbox app on PC.
