Highlights of Xbox Games Showcase 2025

Xbox has confirmed that the much-anticipated Xbox Games Showcase 2025 will occur on June 8, a date fans are eagerly marking on their calendars. These showcases have become pivotal occasions for the gaming community, particularly in the absence of E3, offering a platform for significant game announcements and updates.
Following a successful showcase in 2024 that unveiled 18 titles slated for Xbox Game Pass — including hits like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle — expectations are high for this year’s event. Microsoft’s emergence as one of the largest video game publishers globally has heightened anticipation, making this showcase relevant not only for Xbox players but also for fans of PlayStation and Switch.
According to an official announcement from Microsoft on their blog, the event will be succeeded by a detailed presentation on The Outer Worlds 2. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, this sequel to the popular sci-fi RPG has been in the works for some time, with a targeted release in 2025. Last year, at the Game Awards, details emerged revealing that the game would also be accessible on PS5, but specific information has remained sparse. This upcoming showcase aims to provide fans with much-needed insights, potentially including a release date and gameplay footage.
Upcoming Xbox Event and The Outer Worlds 2 Unveiling on June 8
- Event scheduled for Sunday, June 8 at 1 PM ET
This digital-only showcase will commence at 1 PM ET, streaming on Xbox’s YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook channels, among others. Notably, both the Xbox Games Showcase and the Outer Worlds 2 presentation will be accessible in over 40 languages, including American and British Sign Language. Following the showcase, a week’s worth of additional content will be shared via Xbox’s blog, podcast, and YouTube, providing a deeper understanding of the newly announced games.
The Xbox Games Showcase 2025 is part of an exhilarating summer for the gaming sector. Just two days prior, on June 6, Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest 2025 will take place, and right before that, the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5. This lineup promises a bustling month full of excitement for video game enthusiasts, regardless of their platform of choice.
