Microsoft has announced that its annual games showcase event will take place on 9 June this year, starting at 6pm BST.

The summer showcase is traditionally held on the eve of E3, but with no show this year it'll be part of Summer Game Fest instead.

The showcase will be followed by [Redacted] Direct – a deep dive into a forthcoming new game, thought to be the next Call of Duty (now that Activision Blizzard is part of Xbox).

Here's everything you need to know about the event.

When is the Xbox Games Showcase presentation?

The Xbox Games Showcase will take place on 9 June 2024. It will start at 18:00 BST. A [Redacted] Direct presentation will take place straight after.

How to watch the Xbox Games Showcase

We hope to host the event right here on T3 closer the time.

Alternatively, you will be able to watch it on Xbox's channels on YouTube and Twitch.

What to expect during the July 2024 Xbox Games Showcase

Although Microsoft hasn't yet detailed any games it'll show during the event it will be jam-packed, that's for sure. For starters, there will be a [Redacted] Direct event taking place straight after – much like Starfield Direct after last's year's showcase.

It is highly likely that the new game will be the next entry in the Call of Duty franchise, from the now Xbox-owned Activision Blizzard.

In addition, there will be new games and updates from other Xbox Game Studios and companies, including Bethesda. That should include an update on Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

And you never know but we might get a glimpse of the much-rumoured Xbox Series X Pro (or whatever it is to be called). Microsoft has traditionally announced new consoles during its summer showcase event.

Fingers crossed.
