When does the Xbox Showcase start?

The main Xbox Showcase starts at 1 p.m. EST (click here for your local time). The Gears of War: E-Day Direct starts “immediately following” the Xbox showcase.

Xbox Showcase 2026: What To Expect And How To Watch
What Xbox games do we know will be there?

Well, we 100-percent know for a fact that the next entry in the Gears of War series, the prequel game Gears of War: E-Day, will be there. And that’s about all that I can guarantee and that Xbox has confirmed ahead of Sunday. Expect to see some of the game during the main show and then a whole lot more during the Direct following the event. We’re likely to get a release date here. Will E-Day still be arriving later this year, or will it, like Fable, slide into 2027?

What other Xbox first-party games could we see here?

Xbox has a few big games left to launch this year that also don’t have specific release dates yet, so I’d expect to see some or all of them here. That includes Halo: Campaign Evolved and Minecraft Dungeons II. Clockwork Revolution, the next game from InXile Entertainment, could likely get a new trailer during the showcase. And who knows, maybe State of Decay 3 finally returns after being teased back in 2020. And hey, remember those reports and rumors about Toys for Bob working on a new Spyro game? That’s likely been in development for some time now. Maybe everyone’s favorite purple dragon pops

Xbox is also streaming the event out on Steam and Bilibili in China. The Gears of War: E-Day Direct will follow right after on these same platforms.
