Summary
Sunday’s Xbox Games Showcase begins at 6 p.m. BST, with Microsoft using the event to test Asha Sharma’s push to restore Xbox as a stronger console rival.
Gears of War: E-Day is the only confirmed centerpiece, getting a dedicated deep-dive after the main show, while Microsoft has ruled out any appearance by next-gen console Project Helix.
Clockwork Revolution and State of Decay 3 are among the titles expected to feature, and earlier leaks via a Steam banner pointed to seven games including Fable and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.
The showcase is a key moment for Sharma after months of promising a reset for Xbox, with game reveals carrying the burden of proving that strategy to core players.
