On the Activision Blizzard front, a new Call of Duty game is expected later this year, alongside various releases from Blizzard. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, set to launch in July, might also be featured. From Bethesda, fans are eagerly awaiting news on Starfield's PlayStation 5 release date and any updates on The Elder Scrolls 6.
While new Xbox hardware might not be revealed just yet, with next-gen consoles and an Xbox handheld rumored for 2027, Microsoft could discuss Xbox-branded handhelds from third-party companies during the showcase.
Following the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft will host The Outer Worlds 2 Direct, giving fans an exclusive look inside Obsidian Entertainment. The direct will showcase new gameplay, details, and insights from the developers behind this highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning, first-person sci-fi RPG. The Outer Worlds 2 is slated for release later in 2025, and a release date announcement is expected during the event.
