Xbox Showcase June 2023: Here’s how to watch the event and what all to expect

With the Xbox Showcase drawing near, gaming enthusiasts are getting ready for the possibility of significant game revelations. The livestream will primarily concentrate on games set to release on the Xbox Series X|S as part of their mid-generation announcements.

During the previous Xbox Showcase, 14 games were unveiled with planned release dates for this year, but they are still pending. As a result, it is expected that this year’s event will provide official dates for several of these titles. Additionally, a Starfield Direct presentation will follow the showcase, offering a comprehensive overview of the highly anticipated upcoming game.

At present, Nintendo has not made any announcements regarding a Nintendo Direct event. However, it is customary for the Japanese video game company to host their event as the final one, and there are rumors suggesting that it might occur in July. After the somewhat underwhelming PlayStation showcase a couple of weeks ago, fans are eager for the Xbox Showcase to deliver a much more thrilling experience.

How, where and when to watch 

The live broadcast of the Xbox Showcase is scheduled for Sunday, June 11, at 6pm (BST)/10:30 PM IST. Microsoft’s presentation is expected to have a duration of approximately one to one and a half hours, immediately followed by the Starfield Direct presentation.

The Xbox Showcase will be streamed live across multiple platforms, including the Xbox YouTube channel and the Xbox Twitch account. In the event that you are unable to watch it live, the recorded version of the Xbox Showcase will be accessible on both the YouTube and Twitch channels once the event concludes.

What to expect 

Following a disappointing event by Sony and PlayStation a few weeks ago, Xbox fans are anxiously awaiting the Xbox Showcase. The Sony event showcased a few games that will be coming to Xbox in the near future. 

However, the Xbox Showcase is expected to provide more information about several games, including the highly anticipated release of Forza Motorsport in the summer. While Turn 10 Studios, the developers of Forza Motorsport, will host a dedicated livestream next week, it is likely that the official launch date will be announced during the Xbox Showcase. 

Additionally, fans are eagerly anticipating news about the Fable reboot, which was initially announced in 2020. As there have been no updates about the game for nearly three years, it is speculated that it could be the grand finale announcement of the Xbox Showcase.
