Summer Game Fest 2025 is well underway, and if there’s one event from the weekend that everyone’s sure to be talking about, it’s the Xbox Games Showcase. The livestream is scheduled for Sunday, June 8 at 1:00PM ET (10:00AM PT), and you can tune into it on the Xbox YouTube channel or Twitch, where ASL interpretation will be provided. Immediately after the Xbox showcase, there will be a separate presentation dedicated entirely to The Outer Worlds 2. You can watch both the Xbox Games Showcase and The Outer Worlds 2 Direct using the embedded stream below when it goes live. Our reporters on the ground, Jessica Conditt and Mat Smith, will be giving live updates in our liveblog below.

Last year’s showcase brought us news about the upcoming Fable reboot (since delayed until 2026), the next entry in the Gears of War series, Gears of War: E-Day, the recently released Doom: The Dark Ages and much more. We may hear some fresh updates about those first two titles on Sunday, and possibly more about others like Everwild, State of Decay 3, Hideo Kojima’s OD and Contraband. And of course, some new titles are likely to make their debut too.

You can catch up here on everything we’ve seen at Summer Game Fest 2025, and follow along when the event begins for our on-the-ground coverage.

Don’t forget the irradiated fish! Microsoft’s big setup at Summer Game Fest Play Days is a fishing experience with the Fallout 76 team, in celebration of the Gone Fission update that rolled out earlier this month. Please, won’t someone think of the radioactive fish.

… And then, of course. There’s Hollow Knight: Silksong. There’s always Silksong.

As for what we’re expecting today… we’d put good money on updates about Gears of War: E-Day, Arkane’s Blade game, and Playground’s Fable reboot. We know Hideo Kojima is in town, so some more info on that OD game he’s making for Xbox would be nice too. After that it becomes a bit of a free for all. There are some long-in-development first-party titles like Everwild, Clockwork Revolution and Perfect Dark, and some reasonably strong rumors around a Persona 4 remake that might show up. Of course, there’s always the small issue of Elder Scrolls VI, which we’ve heard nothing about in half a decade, and that rumored handheld console.

It’s been a pretty good year for Microsoft so far, with the Avowed and Doom: The Dark Ages being great, the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake selling well, and and some of its third-party “Day One on Game Pass” bets like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Blue Prince really hitting the mark. Amid all that, though, the company was forced to raise prices on its consoles, and has continued to bring its games to other consoles. Forza Horizon 5 hit PS5 back in April, and Gears of War is coming this summer. While that’s great news for Microsoft’s bottom line, it definitely dilutes the appeal of its own consoles.

We’ll get things started properly closer to 1PM ET, when the show is scheduled to begin.
