Summer Game Fest 2025 is well underway, and if there’s one event from the weekend that everyone’s sure to be talking about, it’s the Xbox Games Showcase. The livestream is scheduled for Sunday, June 8 at 1:00PM ET (10:00AM PT), and you can tune into it on the Xbox YouTube channel or Twitch, where ASL interpretation will be provided. Immediately after the Xbox showcase, there will be a separate presentation dedicated entirely to The Outer Worlds 2. You can watch both the Xbox Games Showcase and The Outer Worlds 2 Direct using the embedded stream below when it goes live. Our reporters on the ground, Jessica Conditt and Mat Smith, will be giving live updates in our liveblog below.
Last year’s showcase brought us news about the upcoming Fable reboot (since delayed until 2026), the next entry in the Gears of War series, Gears of War: E-Day, the recently released Doom: The Dark Ages and much more. We may hear some fresh updates about those first two titles on Sunday, and possibly more about others like Everwild, State of Decay 3, Hideo Kojima’s OD and Contraband. And of course, some new titles are likely to make their debut too.
You can catch up here on everything we’ve seen at Summer Game Fest 2025, and follow along when the event begins for our on-the-ground coverage.

It’s been a pretty good year for Microsoft so far, with the Avowed and Doom: The Dark Ages being great, the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake selling well, and and some of its third-party “Day One on Game Pass” bets like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Blue Prince really hitting the mark. Amid all that, though, the company was forced to raise prices on its consoles, and has continued to bring its games to other consoles. Forza Horizon 5 hit PS5 back in April, and Gears of War is coming this summer. While that’s great news for Microsoft’s bottom line, it definitely dilutes the appeal of its own consoles.

We’ll get things started properly closer to 1PM ET, when the show is scheduled to begin.
