Watch Microsoft’s 2025 Xbox Games Showcase Here

Get ready to see “what’s next for Xbox”

Today, Microsoft is hosting its Xbox Games Showcase alongside “The Outer Worlds 2 Direct.” Here, Microsoft plans to unveil “what’s next for Xbox”, showcasing its upcoming games and diving deep into Obsidian Games’ newest RPG.

At this event, Microsoft will be looking at its upcoming first-party games and selected titles from its 3rd party partners.

This year’s event will be digital only and will be streamed in 40 languages. It will be streamable on YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook. In the UK, this event will start at 6 pm BST. This translates to 10 am PDT and 1 am EDT for US viewers. The event will be streamed at 4K 60 FPS.

At this event, we expect to learn what The Outer Worlds 2‘s release date will be. Currently, the game has a 2025 release timeframe. The Outer Worlds 2 will be launching on PC, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. Note that this isn’t the first time that Microsoft’s highlight game showcase will be for a game that’s also launching on PlayStation 5. Remember that last year’s “Direct” was for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Note that we expect to see Microsoft explain its new “Xbox PC” brand at this event. There are rumours that Microsoft plans to bring PC gaming and Xbox Gaming closer together. If that is the case, it would certainly cover the “what’s next for Xbox” tagline.
