Microsoft’s annual summer Xbox Showcase has been set for June 8. As in previous years, it will be a double feature with a presentation dedicated to The Outer Worlds 2 airing immediately afterward.

The Xbox Showcase occurs during the week of Summer Game Fest and begins at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET. Like previous years, the event is a digital-only showcase, meaning it’s pre-taped instead of being a live event. 

As with the Starfield and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Directs the last two years, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct promises to reveal new gameplay and details about the upcoming RPG with an inside look at Obsidian Games and insights from its developers. The game was announced in 2021, but got its first gameplay reveal during The Game Awards last December.

The 2024 Xbox Showcase revealed new titles like Gears of War: E-Day and Mixtape, provided updates and gameplay reveals for long-in-development titles like Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3, and Fable (which was recently delayed to 2026), and showcased third-party titles like Metal Gear Solid: Delta Snake Eater and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. 

There’s a good chance we could see some, if not most, of these titles make another appearance. Other titles that could appear include Ninja Gaiden 4 (which is being published by Xbox Game Studios), the noir action stealth deck-builder Sleight of Hand (an Xbox console exclusive), or the cozy survival game Winter Burrow. We’ll have to tune in on June 8 to find out.
