Windows Central Gaming is going to have a co-stream going on here.

 

With this quickly approaching I figured it was time to make an official thread for the show.  Feel free to post what you expect to see, hope to see, rumors, and thoughts on what they actually show come Sunday.

30 games shown, 27 coming to game pass day 1.  Number of exclusives and timed exclusives were shown.

 

I think the show was a solid 8/10.  It was just one game after the other game.  And I feel like they're still holding back on news.

MS put on a solid show. The best part for me was definitely the imminent release of Flight Simulator. 

 

Looking forward to trying out FH5 and some of the indie titles like A Plague Tale and Requiem. 

 

What did people think of the new Halo footage?

The Halo footage has got me interested in the multiplayer.

 

I think that portion of the game been free to play will do a lot to keep the multiplayer relevant over the years, in addition I believe free to play titles now don’t require a subscription to play online, which will be great to randomly have games with friends who no longer subscribe to Xbox Live.

 

Age of Empires IV looks great also, sadly buying a GPU at a reasonable price is proving next to impossible, so I don’t think I’ll be playing that anytime soon unless it comes to xCloud.


I’ll be interested to try Flight Simulator on xCloud to see how that performs, possibly one of the first xCloud games to run on the newer Series X hardware? Going back to the GPU problem above I’ve not been able to play this yet either.

I don't think you can make fun of the new Halo footage.  The MP looked great so why wouldn't the SP side look just as good or even better?   It's been the case till now that devs cut down a little on the MP side to make sure you get steady frame rate and no connection issues, so I think the MP looked solid visually which tells me the campaign is going to look great.

 

The show also had some nice little gems that will be hitting game pass that I'm looking forward to playing.  Like the Ascent for sure.  Replaced looked great.    They had a little bit of everything in there for everyone IMO.

 

Rest of 2021 looks solid to me.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

      People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
