Watch 2026’s Xbox Games Showcase here

This year’s Xbox Games Showcase will be presented today at 6 PM BST, and will be followed by Gears of War: E-Day Direct. The event should include new game reveals, a closer look at soon-to-be-released games, and a look at the future of Xbox.

Gears of War: E-Day will be shown in detail after Microsoft’s main Xbox showcase. It is currently unknown what games Microsoft plans to showcase at the event. That said, we’re likely to see the newest Call of Duty, Halo: Campaign Evolved, and Fable at the event. Additionally, Microsoft may unveil some new games at this event and tease “Project Helix“, Microsoft’s next-generation console.

Sunday, June 7 is locked in.

Xbox Games Showcase 2026 is almost here with a deep dive into Gears of War: E-Day Direct.

In my first month, I heard clearly that our community values Xbox FanFest. As part of the return of Xbox, we made the decision to bring it back to LA to recognize the players who’ve been with us over the years.

Looking forward to celebrating together!

This year’s Xbox Showcase will highlight Xbox’s new direction. Xbox now has new leadership and a new console on the horizon. Microsoft needs to show everyone what’s next and tell a compelling story. If Microsoft fails to impress, this event could be the beginning of the end of Xbox.
