Xbox Games Showcase makes a comeback this June with an intriguing sequel

Microsoft has announced the date for its highly anticipated Xbox Games Showcase, set to take place on June 9 at 10 a.m. PT. The showcase will feature games from Microsoft’s portfolio of studios, including Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda, and Xbox Game Studios, as well as titles from third-party partners.

Among the exciting lineup of games scheduled for the showcase are “Ara: History Untold,” “Avowed,” “Age of Mythology: Retold,” “Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024,” “Towerborne,” and “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.” Fans can expect a diverse range of games to be showcased, promising something for everyone.

Following the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft will also be hosting a mysterious event called the “Redacted Direct,” which will offer a special deep dive into the next installment of a beloved franchise. While the details of this event are being kept under wraps, speculation is rife about which game will be featured in this slot.

Last year, the Redacted Direct featured “Starfield,” setting high expectations for this year’s surprise announcement. Fans are eagerly awaiting news on whether it will be a new Gears of War title, a Call of Duty installment, or something entirely unexpected.

The Xbox Games Showcase and Redacted Direct will be live-streamed on Microsoft’s YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook channels, with tickets also available for in-person attendance via Xbox FanFest. With a promising lineup of games and the mystery surrounding the Redacted Direct, the gaming community is buzzing with excitement for what Microsoft has in store for this year’s showcase.
