Smart move to get this out in the open ASAP, so they don't thwart potential sales. If someone thinks they might be able to get it free around the time of launch, they'll just hold out for a release on Game Pass. With the merger not yet approved, that would be a terrible strategy and unnecessary risk.
If Activision's merger is magically approved before this showcase, then I'd expect their to be a lot of news and plans for getting that MASSIVE backlog of games added to Game Pass. That would be sweet
I expect to see the same format of covering and highlighting the next 12 months of releases, and of course GAME PASS, GAME PASS, GAME PASS. I actually enjoyed this model a lot, and especially enjoyed some of the graphics that came afterward that showed all the titles coming to Game Pass over the coming 12 months.
Assuming they stick with the same 12 month outlook again, the announcements/reveals we'll probably/hopefully see in June are as follows:
Starfield (confirmed)
Forza Motorsport (unless it arrives beforehand; #doubtful)
Avowed (2024 release)
Hellblade 2 (2024 release)
Indiana Jones (2023 release)
Contraband (2023 release)
Halo Infinite Updates
Sea of Thieves Updates
Fallout 76 Updates
Forza Horizon Updates
State of Decay 3 (2024 release)
Compulsion Games' next title (2024 release)
Any games that were shown last year that were delayed...
And of course, some 3rd party games and indie titles coming to Game Pass too...
I want to know performance and graphics modes that will be available on XSX and XSS. And I really hope BOTH consoles can keep it from dipping below 30fps, ever. I'm ok with this running at 1080p and solid 30fps on XSS. I at least expect 4k at 30fps on XSX, and the option for a performance mode that runs about 60fps at 1440.

Xbox, please ditch Games with Gold and just focus on Game Pass.
