Xbox and Bethesda announced on Thursday, May 28, that they will hold a joint games showcase on Sunday, June 12, at 2 p.m. Brasília time to present upcoming titles and updates for the Xbox ecosystem.
What the showcase will cover
According to Xbox’s official page, the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase will feature content from Xbox Game Studios, Bethesda and partners worldwide. The presentation will highlight the lineup of games coming soon to Xbox and PC, including information about upcoming Game Pass releases.
Broadcast details and accessibility
The event will be streamed across multiple channels — Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and TikTok — and will include translations into more than 30 languages to reach a global audience.
Expectations from fans
Fans are anticipating updates on Starfield, at least a release window for The Elder Scrolls VI, and announcements of new titles for the current generation of Xbox consoles.
Background and context
The showcase announcement confirms earlier speculation that surfaced after the physical and digital versions of E3 2022 were canceled. Reports dating to January indicated Xbox might stage its own event to display console and game news, a plan now realized by this showcase.
In recent years, including 2020 and 2021, Bethesda and other developers have favored their own presentation formats over large industry events. The shift accelerated during the Covid-19 pandemic and has intensified discussion about how major shows like the E3 — organized by the ESA — should evolve amid industry changes.
