Xbox Games Showcase 2026: Every reveal as it happens

Xbox marks its 25th anniversary this year, but the run-up to the showcase has been turbulent: old CEOs are out, new leadership is in, and questions remain about how the division will steady its prolonged tailspin. This summer's Xbox Games Showcase is the first real look at what tack Microsoft's gaming division will take—aside from its capitalization standards, anyway.

The showcase kicks off at 1 pm EDT / 6 pm BST with a YouTube livestream, and the announcements will be collected in a readable format. If you missed other reveals this weekend, there is a rundown of Friday's Summer Game Fest, and the PC Gaming Show follows later at 3 pm EDT / 8 pm BST.

Only one inclusion is confirmed: Gears of War: E-Day, which is getting its own "E-Day Direct" after the main Xbox livestream.
