Large Xbox showcase probably already planned for early 2023

After many fans have wondered why Xbox or Microsoft While there were no big announcements at this year’s Game Awards, that’s likely to change very soon: According to the Xbox2 podcast hosts, we might be able to with one big showcase nice early 2023 calculate. According to podcasters Rand Al Thor and Jez Corden, who refer to “multiple sources” appointed, stands up Xbox event coming soon. And that sounds pretty logical too. Because in the first half of 2023, the release of some major game brands for the Xbox and the PC is due. Alongside the long-awaited sci-fi role-playing game Starfield Bethesda is also said to have a new one Forza Motorsport and the first person shooter red case by Arkane coming soon. However, there are still no release dates for all three projects. So an Xbox show that gives us new info makes perfect sense.

“Incredibly Exciting Year of Gaming” is upon us

After the Game Awards 2022, many fans were a bit surprised why not a single Xbox game was actually announced or at least provided with a trailer. After all, other major game studios had a lot to offer: While Sony dropped the bomb with Death Stranding 2, other developers also announced their new projects.

Many viewers at the award ceremony, which was moderated by Geoff Keighly, only missed one thing: Microsoft and the Xbox. Now that may have been understandable given the current explosive situation surrounding the takeover of Activision Blizzard. And yet, of course, fans expect new fodder for Xbox and Game Pass.

And Microsoft certainly has that in the pipeline: In addition to Starfield, games such as a new Forza Motorsport, Stalker 2 and Minecraft Legends are also in development. And not to unsettle players and fans, Aaron Greenberg, Vice President of Marketing at Xbox, said on Twitter: “We have a lot planned to show you and want to share with you about an incredibly exciting year 2023.” .

Big showcase already at the beginning of 2023?

According to the hosts of the Xbox podcast “Xbox2”, a big show with new and well-known games is coming up early next year. In the podcast, they reveal that they’ve heard rumors from several people who are confident that Microsoft has a show planned for early next year that will be similar to the E3 presentation in June.

Of course, all this is speculation at first, but such a presentation, as already written above, would make sense. And since Starfield, for example, was supposed to be released in 2022, it shouldn’t come as a surprise if the Bethesda role-playing game is released as a major Xbox flagship in early 2023.
