In a major announcement for Xbox fans, Microsoft has confirmed the return of its highly anticipated summer gaming showcase, scheduled for Sunday, June 9. This year’s event promises to be one of the most significant in recent years, with Xbox teasing “new games from our talented studios around the world” and a dedicated deep dive into the next installment of the Call of Duty franchise.
The showcase is set to kick off at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET and will be streamed globally on the official Xbox channels. As part of the presentation, Xbox is expected to lift the curtain on several first-party titles, with fans speculating on updates from big-name studios like Obsidian, Playground Games, and Bethesda Game Studios. Industry insiders also hint that the showcase could include long-awaited looks at titles like Fable, Avowed, and the next phase of Starfield content.
But the biggest headline may be the Call of Duty spotlight, which will immediately follow the main presentation. This marks the first time a new Call of Duty game will debut under the Xbox banner following Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The post-show deep dive promises gameplay, development insights, and perhaps even a release date for this year’s entry, which is rumored to be Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War.
Xbox’s decision to dedicate a standalone segment to Call of Duty signals the company’s commitment to leveraging the blockbuster franchise as a pillar of its gaming ecosystem—potentially even hinting at Game Pass integration plans.
With the summer showcase season already heating up, Xbox’s June 9 event is shaping up to be a must-watch for gamers eager to see how Microsoft plans to capitalize on its growing portfolio of studios. Whether you’re a console loyalist, Game Pass subscriber, or just curious about what’s next in the next-gen console battle, all eyes will be on Xbox this summer.
