How to watch Xbox showcase at Gamescom 2025

Xbox is kicking off the first proper day of Gamescom with a showcase that’s set to be packed with exciting reveals.

After an Opening Night show that brought extensive looks at Black Ops 7, Resident Evil Requiem, and even the surprise announcement of Black Myth: Zhong Kui from Game Science, it’s Microsoft’s turn to take center stage.
