Microsoft has exciting plans lined up for June 2025, with the Xbox Games Showcase 2025 set to take center stage, followed by a dedicated The Outer Worlds 2 Direct. This annual event, known for unveiling upcoming Xbox games, will be livestreamed on Sunday, June 8, starting at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK time.
The Xbox Games Showcase 2025 promises a comprehensive look at forthcoming titles from Microsoft's first-party studios as well as exciting new games from third-party partners worldwide. Anticipation is high for what Microsoft has in store, given their extensive lineup of games currently in development. Fans can expect updates on eagerly awaited titles such as the new Fable, the Perfect Dark reboot, inXile's Clockwork Revolution, Ninja Gaiden 4, Contraband by the Just Cause series developer, Rare's Everwild, The Coalition's Gears of War: E-Day, Hideo Kojima’s OD, and Undead Labs' State of Decay 3. Additionally, Double Fine, known for Psychonauts, is crafting a new game to look forward to.
On the Activision Blizzard front, a new Call of Duty game is slated for release later in the year, alongside various titles from Blizzard. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is set to launch in July, making it a likely candidate for the showcase. Meanwhile, Bethesda enthusiasts are eager for news on what's next for Starfield, particularly regarding its PlayStation 5 release date, and perhaps a glimpse of The Elder Scrolls 6.
Speculation also surrounds potential new Xbox hardware announcements. Although a next-gen Xbox console and an Xbox handheld are rumored for a 2027 release, this year's showcase might offer insights into Xbox-branded handhelds from third-party companies.
Following the tradition set by previous years with the Starfield Direct and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct, the Xbox Games Showcase 2025 will be immediately followed by The Outer Worlds 2 Direct. This special presentation will dive deep into Obsidian Entertainment's latest project, offering new gameplay, details, and developer insights into the sequel to the acclaimed first-person sci-fi RPG. Given that The Outer Worlds 2 is slated for release later in 2025, fans are hopeful for a concrete release date during the showcase.
