We're now two days away from The Game Awards 2024, and everything we're hearing behind the scenes suggests it'll be a fantastic show. However, if you're hoping for lots of Xbox first-party news, this may not be the venue for it.
Windows Central editor Jez Corden is the latest industry name to begin teasing what he knows about The Game Awards, and just like many others, he's clearly very excited after learning more about it. That said, he doesn't "expect" too many reveals from Xbox's range of studios due to plans for a third Xbox Developer Direct event in early 2025.
Just recently, it was rumoured that Xbox's South of Midnight could be getting a release date at The Game Awards, but Jez responded to this with a simple "no". It seems the Developer Direct could be the destination for that instead.
In any case, The Game Awards looks set to be very exciting from a multi-platform perspective, so even without Xbox making a big splash, we'll still get plenty of games announced for our Xbox consoles. Then, the Xbox Developer Direct typically takes place in January, so we might only be waiting about a month to get more extensive first-party news!
