Xbox Games Showcase Summer 2023: Date, games, & everything we know so far
Xbox Games Showcase is happening this Summer, giving Microsoft the opportunity to show us what its studios have been working on. Xbox has quite a bit of ground to make up with regard to exclusive games, making these showcases a big opportunity for something new and exciting.
Here is everything we currently know about the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase for Summer 2023.
Xbox Games Showcase: Date and time

Based on last year's Xbox and Bethesda games showcase, we can estimate the show will last between one and two hours. Exactly what time the show ends is not yet known, but that time will be very important to know for Starfield fans.
Xbox Games Showcase: Starfield Direct

Fans can expect a Bethesda presence among these two shows, but it seems that the Starfield showcase is dedicated to that one game, so if there is no Elder Scrolls 6 news in the Xbox Games Showcase, don't expect it from the Starfield Direct.
Xbox Games Showcase: What games can we expect?

The most recent Developer_Direct featured Redfall, Minecraft and the surprise announcement and release of HiFi Rush, a smaller but still very successful event. Considering the time of year that this showcase is happening, it seems safe to assume that big things are planned.
That said, Xbox has not had the best track record in recent years, so it is best to temper expectations. Xbox has plenty of irons in the fire, such as the new Fable game that has been quiet since the announcement, so the potential for big announcements is high.
That is it for the Xbox Game Showcase. For all the news and info you need, be sure to stick with us at GGRecon.
