Xbox Games Showcase June 2023: start times and where to watch
Ready to ascend into the vast emptiness of space, have a possible first look at Playground’s take on Fable, and get a general idea of what Xbox will have in store over the next few months? Well, you better be, because Not-E3 2023 is being kicked into overdrive this week and Microsoft is right in the thick of it, presenting not only an all-new Xbox Games Showcase, but making it a double feature with Starfield Direct immediately afterwards.
It’s been a mixed year so far for Microsoft’s gaming division with surprise hits like Hi-Fi Rush and underwhelming video games like Redfall both coming out on the market. There is also the fact that Microsoft’s proposed Activision Blizzard acquisition is still being fought over with major regulators disagreeing over the approval – it’s high time Microsoft and Xbox put out some positive video game-related news, and this showcase is their best opportunity to do it.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Xbox Games Showcase June 2023 start times and where to watch the event.
