Xbox Games Showcase 2026: All the news and trailers

The Xbox Games Showcase airs on June 7th at 1PM ET (you can watch it on both YouTube and Twitch), and will be followed by a second presentation focused entirely on Gears of War: E-Day. The event comes at an interesting time for Xbox. Microsoft’s gaming division went through an executive shake-up in April, and new boss Asha Sharma has been making some smaller but welcome changes, while also promising what she calls the “return of Xbox.” Given how confused the Xbox brand has been of late, it seems likely bigger changes are on the way.

The SGF keynote will be focused entirely on games — Microsoft has already said it won’t be talking about its next console — which will likely include major titles like the Halo remake and the recently delayed Fable. But to really make an impression and show the Xbox name is on the right track, there will have to be some surprises. Maybe we’ll finally get a look at The Elder Scrolls VI?

Whatever Microsoft does have in store, you can watch the entire thing at the embed below, and stay tuned to this stream for all of the most important announcements.

The Xbox Games Showcase is starting soon.

The event kicks off at 1PM ET. Once the showcase is over, it will transition directly into a presentation focused on Gears of War: E-Day, which is scheduled to launch sometime this year.

There won’t be Project Helix news at the Xbox Games Showcase.

Matt Booty, Xbox’s chief content officer, shared the update on a new episode of the Official Xbox Podcast. Microsoft is using today to set some expectations ahead of the showcase, which takes place on June 7th at 1PM ET; the company also delayed Fable to February 2027.
