At the tail end of Summer Game Fest is the annual Xbox's flagship exclusives are coming to other platforms.

With Xbox hardware sales falling quite far behind its competitors, Microsoft has veered into more traditional publishing territory, and has continued to bank on Game heavily. Practically every game shown off at Xbox Games Showcases or similar presentations is available day-one to Game Ultimate and PC Game subscribers, and this year's show is expected to be no different. Summer Game Fest's premiere is on June 6, and the Xbox Games Showcase will follow only a few days later.

When Xbox Games Showcase 2025 Is

Sunday, June 8

Xbox Games Showcase 2025 begins at 1:00pm ET on Sunday, June 8, hosted by Ethan Rothamel, who's ed by TikTok creator Senpapi Gabe. This broadcast time is universal and does not change based on time zone; the table below shows what time you can catch the Xbox Games Showcase in each United States time zone.

There hasn't been any official word on how long the Xbox Games Showcase will be, but the whole affair will likely last over an hour. This includes a dedicated deep dive for Obsidian Entertainment's next game, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct, which will follow immediately after the traditional Xbox Games Showcase presentation.

Where To Watch Xbox Games Showcase 2025

Multiple Official Channels

Xbox is hosting its Games Showcase on many official channels, giving you plenty of options when tuning in. Most straightforward is the official Xbox YouTube channel, which will present the livestream in 4K at 60 frames per second. Other options at 4K/60fps are Bethesda's YouTube channel and Obsidian Entertainment's YouTube channel. The Xbox Twitch is also hosting the livestream, though not at the same quality – Twitch is, however, sometimes a bit closer to actually being live, though it may depend on other factors like internet speed.

A separate American Sign Language stream is being hosted on the XboxASL Twitch channel, and if you feel so inclined, the full presentation can also be watched on the Xbox TikTok . There are also plenty of gaming outlets and content creators who will be co-streaming the Xbox Games Showcase. Be sure to consult their schedules or social media s to see if they will be covering and where to them in watching.

What To Expect From The Xbox Games Showcase

Trailers, Gameplay, & Release Dates

The Xbox Games Showcase will likely focus most of its attention on first-party titles coming out of developers under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella. However, there will also be third-party publishers involved in the presentation. Most games are likely to get just a trailer or new gameplay footage, and some may have their release date announced, but The Outer Worlds 2 will be a major focus after the Showcase proper. The Outer Worlds 2 is very likely to have its release date announced, as it's been slated for 2025 for quite a while.

Other Xbox Games Showcase predictions are harder to pin down. Gears of War: E-Day seems likely to reappear, and Fable could have more information divulged. Other projects known to be in development by Xbox Game Studios include the Perfect Dark reboot, Everwild, State of Decay 3, and, of course, The Elder Scrolls 6. It's also possible that Starfield's second expansion, Starborn, finally receives a trailer. There's plenty to look forward to in this year's Xbox Games Showcase.
