Xbox Games Showcase 2026 Followed by Gears of War: E-Day Direct Airs June 7 – and Xbox Fanfest Returns

admin Mar 31, 2026 0

It’s time for another look at the future of gaming – Xbox Games Showcase 2026 will air on Sunday, June 7, starting at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK time. It will be followed immediately by a deep-dive into the return of one of Xbox’s most legendary franchises in the form of Gears of War: E-Day Direct.

We’ll begin the day with our annual Xbox Games Showcase, including first gameplay looks and huge news on upcoming titles from our first-party studios across the Xbox family, as well as our third-party partners around the globe – from the biggest franchises to soon-to-be indie darlings.

Immediately following Showcase, we’ll go even deeper on one of the games coming later this year, directly from the team behind the Gears franchise, The Coalition Studio. Gears of War: E-Day Direct will take players into the start of Emergence Day, offering new details, gameplay and insights about the hugely anticipated origin story to the Gears of War saga.

To help celebrate the Xbox 25th anniversary, we’re excited to bring back Xbox FanFest at Showcase. This year’s experience will include a look back at the last 25 years, alongside a forward view of what’s next.
