Xbox will livestream an Xbox Games Showcase this summer. Similar to last year’s Starfield Direct, the showcase will be followed by a special “Redacted” direct that will dive deep into a beloved franchise. As for when, the Xbox Games Showcase will begin at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET on June 9, with the Redacted showcase streaming immediately after.
“Like our double feature last year with Starfield Direct, immediately following the Showcase we’ll be airing a special deep-dive into the next installment of a beloved franchise,” an Xbox Wire blog post reads. “We can’t say much, so for now, we’ll call it the Xbox Games Showcase followed by [REDACTED] direct. 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.”
And speaking of Activision Blizzard, I’m guessing the redacted showcase is about the next Call of Duty, based on the associated image that you can see in the X (formerly Twitter) post below:
We’re going to be talking about games of course
