Pick One: What Was Your Favourite Gaming Showcase Of This Year?

We're all done for another year! The Game Awards marked the final major showcase of 2023 earlier this week, and we thought we'd take this opportunity to look back at what's been a pretty stacked year of events in the gaming industry.

For Xbox alone, there's been a lot to talk about. We kicked things off with the Developer Direct in January, followed by an ID@Xbox event in April, the massive Xbox Games Showcase in June, another indie event in July, a Tokyo Game Show presentation in September and the all-new "Partner Preview" showcase in October.

And of course, there have been the usual big blowout events as well. The Summer Game Fest Showcase brought us a whole bunch of announcements, as did Gamescom Opening Night Live and this past week's Game Awards event.

So, there's a lot to choose from! Thinking back, which of these events was your favourite? We''ll throw the biggest Xbox-related examples in a poll below, but feel free to choose the "Other" option and tell us if you have another!

Which showcase are you going to pick? Vote in the poll and let us know in the comments!
