Some of the key first-party Xbox games expected to be announced at the showcase include Doom: The Dark Ages, Gears of War 6, a Halo: Combat Evolved remaster for PlayStation 5, and a fresh look at the new Fable game2. Additionally, games like Starfield, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Avowed are also expected to make appearances during the event.

The Starfield Shattered Space expansion is targeted for release in Fall 2024, as confirmed by Todd Howard during an episode of Kinda Funny Gamescast6. Gamers can expect new story content, new locations, new gear, and much more from this major expansion. It has also been revealed that the expansion will focus on House Va'ruun lore and new locations. House Va'ruun is the third interstellar government to have formed in the Settled Systems, and players can anticipate exploring all new planets and delving deeper into one of Starfield's main governments' worlds.

This year's Xbox Games Showcase is significant because it marks the first time that games from Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda, and Xbox Game Studios will be featured together. This highlights the breadth of titles and franchises under Microsoft's gaming umbrella, following its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The event will showcase the combined talent and offerings from these studios, as well as updates on previously announced games and potentially new game reveals.
