Xbox and Microsoft have picked June 8, 2025, as the date for their summer gaming event. The Xbox Games Showcase starts at 10 am PT, 1 pm ET, or 6 pm BT, depending where you live. Fans can watch it all through a live stream from home. After the main presentation ends, The Outer Worlds 2 will star in its special Direct-style segment. This follows the pattern from previous years when games like Starfield or Call of Duty received similar treatment.
Microsoft hasn't shared many details about what games it'll present during the event. The timing places it near the end of Summer Game Fest 2025, which runs from June 6-9. News leaks and rumors will likely give players better hints about the showcase lineup as the date approaches. Unlike past years, there won't be any in-person component to the show. Everything will happen through the digital broadcast only.
The company promises to feature games from both its first-party studios and partner developers around the world. Outer Worlds 2 continues the adventure that began with the popular 2019 science fiction role-playing game. Xbox Game Studios is publishing this sequel instead of Private Division, which handled the first game. Obsidian Entertainment should have more resources for development this time around. Their CEO Feargus Urquhart has described the project as something amazing.
Players should know the sequel brings an entirely new cast of characters. The action moves to a different solar system than the original game. These changes might disappoint some fans who loved the first adventure. The higher budget and greater expectations suggest Obsidian aims to create something much bigger than before. Xbox appears confident enough in the game to give it special attention during their biggest showcase of the year.
