The Xbox Games Showcase returns in June with deep dive into The Outer Worlds 2

The Xbox Games Showcase is indeed returning in June. The big showcase will focus on a number of major first and third-party games coming to Xbox and PC in 2025 and 2026. Each year, Microsoft has a key game that gets a little bit more marketing than the rest. In 2023, it was Starfield, followed by Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 in 2024. In 2025, Microsoft's big game is none other than The Outer Worlds 2. 

The Xbox Games Showcase 2025 will air on the 8th of June at 6PM UK time. Immediately after the main event, Microsoft will go live again with a deep-dive stream showing off The Outer Worlds 2, the sequel to Obsidian's hit 2019 Sci-Fi RPG.

Typically, the Xbox Games Showcase runs from anywhere between 90 minutes and two hours, so it will be a chunky show with many, many game announcements. It will be immediately followed up by more gameplay from The Outer Worlds 2, which is miraculously coming out this year, despite Obsidian only just shipping Avowed, its new fantasy RPG, in February.

We are unlikely to get a huge showing for the long-awaited Fable reboot at this year's showcase, as the game was just recently delayed to 2026. Gears of War E-Day is also anticipated to release in 2026.

KitGuru Says: Microsoft will no doubt have some surprises in store for this year, as the company's massive army of studios appears to be firing on all cylinders, delivering new first-party games every few months.
