REDMOND, Wash. — April 25, 2023 — Microsoft recently announced its latest quarterly results, showing continued growth for its Xbox division. With the success of the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, fans are eagerly awaiting the next showcase event to see what Microsoft has in store for the future of gaming.
We generally know what Microsoft is going to reveal at a showcase, but the specifics are less clear. These are our three predictions for what we can expect to see at the next Xbox showcase:
-
New Games
Microsoft has been acquiring new studios in recent years, and fans are hoping to see some new exclusive titles for the Xbox consoles. With titles like Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 already announced, we can expect to see some new games announced as well.
Upcoming games
Microsoft may also reveal more information about games that have already been announced but don't have a release date yet. Fans are eagerly awaiting updates on games like Fable 4 and Avowed, both of which were announced at last year's showcase.
Xbox
Microsoft may also reveal updates to the Xbox console itself, such as new features or hardware upgrades. With the rise of cloud gaming, we may see more details on Microsoft's xCloud streaming service as well.
In addition to potential announcements, Microsoft has also been making deals to bring its games to more platforms. Microsoft and Nvidia recently signed a decade-long deal to bring Xbox PC games to Nvidia's GeForce Now game-streaming service. This move will allow even more gamers to play Xbox games on their favorite devices.
For those still looking to get their hands on an Xbox console, there are now stock checkers available for both the UK and US markets. As more and more consoles become available, it's becoming easier to find one for purchase.
And for those who already have an Xbox console, Microsoft has partnered with Discord to bring voice chat to Xbox consoles. This update will allow players to connect to Discord calls using their Xbox and chat with other players across different devices.
If you're looking for a way to purchase games or other items for your Xbox, consider using Xbox gift cards or Microsoft 365 product codes. These codes are typically 25 characters long and can be redeemed directly on your Xbox console.
And if you're in need of a headset for your Xbox, make sure to obtain one that uses Microsoft's wireless protocol. The Xbox One does not support Bluetooth, so a wireless adapter or a headset designed specifically for Xbox consoles will be necessary.
Finally, Xbox will be making its digital return to the Tokyo Game Show on September 15 at 6pm JST, with a streamed presentation of upcoming games and announcements. Fans can tune in to see what Microsoft has in store for the future of gaming.
