The biggest day of the year for Xbox fans is upon us! The 2024 edition of the Xbox Games Showcase officially returns on Sunday, June 9th, and it'll be taking place at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST.
Microsoft confirmed the date and time earlier today, while also revealing that it'll be the first Xbox Games Showcase to feature games from Xbox Game Studios, Bethesda and Activision Blizzard.
"This will also be our first Showcase featuring games from our portfolio of studios across Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda and Xbox Game Studios, in addition to titles from our third-party partners."
Following the Showcase, Xbox will also be hosting another special "Direct" event similar to the Starfield one from last year, and although the game's name has yet to be revealed, it seems very likely it'll be for the next Call of Duty title.
"We can’t say much, so for now we’ll call it the Xbox Games Showcase followed by [REDACTED] Direct."
We'll let you know nearer the time about how you can watch the Xbox Games Showcase here at Pure Xbox, and if you're in the Los Angeles area, you might even be able to attend the special Xbox FanFest event to watch the show in-person. For more details on the FanFest side of things, head over to the official Xbox Wire website.
Looking forward to the Xbox Games Showcase 2024? Tell us down in the comments section below.

the one thing I hope for is a release date for Indiana jones and the great circle
Gears Direct? Fable?
So exciting! I need it to be June already…I just love the feel it brings regarding gaming; just tons of excitement for new game reveals!
I can’t wait to see what they show there! I’m hoping for some updates on already announced games that have gone radio silent for a few years, like Everwild! Hasn’t it been 4 or nearly 5 years since they announced it with a small trailer? I’ve been reading reports on how the game has been coming along, but I’d love to hear an official update instead.
Seeing as how the codename for 2024 Call of Duty is "Cerberus" (according to a data breach from December 2022) and there is a Cerberus logo in this teaser...you are probably on the nose with it being Call of Duty.
ABK drops, for sure!
If you look very closely at the image (the large version on Xbox Wire is easiest to see), the second redacted part says Black Ops.
Well only 6 weeks to wait and then no doubt be disappointed 😂😂😂
I only need 2 things from this show and every thing else is a welcomed bonus. Gears of War Marcus Fenix Collection and the new controller that originally said it was for May. But it might be nice to show it off at the show. Haptic feedback and a speaker on the controller while chainsawing a locust in unreal engine 5 is just my dream setup. Other excitable titles would include Fable and Perfect Dark.
@species8472 why wait so long to be disappointed?Sony showcase may be way sooner
Xbox showcases have been good lately. I'm expecting another great show this year. It's still wild to think that they now own what would have been 3 major e3 shows.
@Chrisajax I am not a Sony Playstation owner I have an Xbox Series X just making light of the fact that I will probably be disappointed, but who knows?
Oh man. I will be flying to a work event during this. Dang.
Hope to have news on Fable, Indy, Gears 6...and a surprise or 2.
Patiently waiting for some State of Decay 3 news. It's safe to say that Xbox now owns what would be E3
June June June such memories of E3 etc.
but can’t wait for the Xbox showcase
Such a great month June.
With Xbox and probably around the same time a Nintendo direct maybe switch 2 etc. June could be an amazing gaming month.
Thank you Xbox for the 6pm UK time, absolutely spot on, unlike the other brand that sticks it to Europe and the UK and picks something like 3am in the bloody morning.
Off subject Forza Motorsport UK game charts for last week has appeared out of no where and dropped in at number 10.
I just remembered there was a series x bundle with Forza Motorsport for an extra £10 with the series x on sale last couple of weeks in the UK.
Anyway still nice to see an Xbox game in the top ten in the UK.
Cannot wait for this! The Xbox showcase is always my favourite time of year. Christmas, my birthday, and the birthdays of my 3 children can go whistle! The Xbox June showcase is the only day of the year that I really look forward to... 😂
Top of my list of hopes is Gears 6, swiftly followed by the Marcus Fenix remastered collection, and then Gears Tactics 2. There maybe a theme going on here... 🤔
I hope finally something about Perfect Dark.
Or some news that they found a dev for a new Killer instinct.
@Fiendish-Beaver i like your list. All you forgot was a Gears theme skin wrap for series X and a limited edition Gears controller. Think we are being to greedy…. Nah!
I really think it’s now or never for Marcus Fenix collection and i ain’t saying that just cause June is around the corner. I say that cause if Gears 6 is coming late 25 or 26 they need time for the Marcus Fenix collection to be marketed, played and hype built back in to the series then release 6. Otherwise they would be crowed on each other. Throw in the fact that some trusted sources in the industry has said the collection is real and it’s already being play tested internally. That was months ago, so it could be closer to finished than expected. I hate to say it but it’s now or never for this collection and 2 years in a row i have waited for it in both June showcases and got nothing. Your thoughts?
I think we might see Doom from I.D even tho i wish it was a Quake reboot. But there are a lot of projects in the works at MS, hard to tell what ones they show and which ones they let bake in the oven longer. I would expect to see Avowed with a release date, Indiana Jones with a release date and i think we should see some Fable gameplay. Then it will be all about COD. Which some say COD this year is adding a new movement controls, whatever something like that looks like. Plus they got an extra year to work on this game, so it should be polished and on point.
Xbox showcases are the only one's i actually watch so really looking forward to seeing what's coming up for gamepass.
The June showcase is really the big one to pay attention to. It’s just World Premiere after World Premiere and I can’t wait!!! Super hyped…
Very excited. I think I just want to be surprised. Have a total curveball thrown in, a massive game we never expected. I’m confident the first party showings will be strong, so it’s not as much on my mind as what could be there. Not saying I’ll complain if we get gameplay from Fable, Indy, etc, certainly not the case! Just hoping something out of nowhere floors us. Can’t wait
Going to
Show shattered space, update for forza, the previously announced games with dates, probably more elder scrolls online. CoD, with the big games of this year to still be released, I don’t think we will see much for next year.
hoping to see perfect dark and gears. its been so long since i saw...anything from them, that if i do see them, literally anything else to me would be a complete bonus.
gonna just assume that last thing is CoD. guess the time has come to ramp up marketing.
Right out the Gate, Halo soundtrack PS and nintendo
@Paulbuck27 Ditto. My gut....
January 2025
@HonestHick This!
@Lup lol come on man it’s pretty obviously COD
They need to keep the hammer down with in depth looks at Indy and Avowed with release dates. Games like Fable need a 2025 release window. Seems obvious we are gonna see Gears 6 and hopefully State of Decay 3 and Perfect Dark. Really hope we see Clockwork get a 2025 date
@HonestHick I would love to add a Gears Controller to my collection.
@DoomGuy_117 it would be awesome. I am hopeful we see their new controller at least. It’s been silent on that since the leak. Plus we are seeing that some of those leaks were changed. So hard to tell if it’s still in the works. Gears has had some nice console and controller editions in the past. 😀
I feel like the focus is going to perfect Dark, the way they were saying a new installment for a beloved series. Or fable 4.
I couldn't agree more, @HonestHick. I think there is a real chance of a shadow drop of the remastered trilogy because if Microsoft follow their 'recent' pattern with Gears reveal to release, then it follows that if they reveal Gears 6 this June, that it will then release between September and October 2025, and that means they need time for people to play and digest the remasters. Throw into the mix that Gears 5 released in 2019, and you have to say that the Coalition have had more than enough time to get Gears 6 ready as is, let alone have still another year before its release.
As for the controller, I still have two Gears of War 3 controllers, and the 360 console that they came with. Plus I have the Xbox One Gears of War console and controllers. I'd buy a Gears of War themed controller, though probably not the wrap. I do have a Gears of War 3 blanket, if that counts, and the GoW3 replica Lancer (which is about 5 foot long, believe it or not!). Oh, and the GoW3 and 4 Collectors Editions (sadly, they didn't release the Gears 5 Collector's Edition in the UK). Not that I like Gears of War, or anything... 😂
Edit: I decided to look on eBay at the Gears 5 Collector's Edition and just bought one from the US... 🤣
@HonestHick Agreed.
@Fiendish-Beaver yeah your Gears collection is impressive for sure. I knew it would be. I can’t wait to see if they do anything for the Series X.
Yeah the rumors of the Marcus Fenix collection is heating up. One thing that makes sense is when they make a Gears announcement there is always two at a time. It was Gears 4 and Ultimate edition then it was Tactics and Gears 5. So if they announce Gears 6 then the second would be Marcus Fenix Collection. Wow that is a huge get for Xbox. This will bring new players and PC players into the original trilogy. Plus build hype for Gears 6. This is what Xbox needs, get their heavy hitters out in the open and show they have great games coming. Excited for the June showcase more than ever.
Yes, @HonestHick, I'm absolutely stoked for this June, as I always am. In recent years I've been left slightly disappointed at the lack of any Gears of War announcements, but I think that won't be the case this year.
Also, I had to amend my post above because I said that Gears 6 would release in 2026, if Microsoft followed their past reveal to release agenda. It should have read 2025. All the more reason to be excited for this years show, and potentially next year... 😊
@Fiendish-Beaver yeah for sure. The ball is starting to roll now. They have a lot of titles in the works at Xbox and we will start to play some this year and next. Should be good going forward.
I forgot to add this bad boy to my Gears of War collection, @HonestHick. Only 500 of them were ever made, and the head is actually the size an adult human head, so it's pretty big. This one is not actually mine, but I have no idea how to add a photo to this site. 🤪 I actually have two; one is on display (and is number 416/500). The other is in a box in my loft (so I have no idea what number it is). I couldn't find an image of it on Google, but happened to see one currently for sale on eBay.

@Fiendish-Beaver Holy crap that is AWESOME! I never even seen these before. That thing is worth so much money and only going to go up. 500 is very limited for anything. You are a mega fan. Thanks for sharing. Wow now that is cool.
