The Xbox Games Showcase will be livestreamed on June 11 at 10am PT. Immediately after the Showcase, Microsoft will be airing Starfield Direct, a deep-dive into Bethesda Game Studios' highly anticipated sci-fi RPG.

Join for some new surprises and first-looks from their internal studios, and their many partners around the world. We'll get to see what is coming to Xbox, PC, and Game Pass.

Starfield Direct will invite you inside Bethesda Game Studios to learn much, much more about Starfield, with tons of new gameplay, developer interviews, and behind-the-scenes insider information.
 
MS has lots of good things on the pipeline. I am actually looking forward to seeing this show for a change. I haven't really used my XB since it released so hoping that may change soon.
 
I want Microsoft to hit a grandslam so Sony and Nintendo don't rest on their laurels and actually have to get serious.

Bingo:
Avowed
Age of Empires IV Expansion
Age of Mythology DE News/Update
Fable
Starfield
Persona 3 RE Whoops.
Persona 5 Tactics whoops.


Don't really care due to the long timeframe and marketing being utter fails:
Hellblade 2

There have been actual rumors about it due to changes noticed in steam database or something?
Fallout New Vegas Remake/2

There were rumors at one point:
Gears of War Trilogy Collection ala the Master Chief Collection

It would be nice:
Avowed still being done, but getting Pillars of Eternity 3 also since Obsidian is looking at what Larien and Owlcat are doing and wants to maintain a nice part of that CRPG market.
Halo Fleet Simulator ala Homeworld/Empire at War/Sins of a Solar Empire/Battlestar Galactica Deadlock/Battlefleet Gothic how is this still not a thing?!
Halo civilization simulator ala Sins of a Solar Empire or Endless Legend/Space
Single Player Halo RPG in the vein of Mass Effect
Final Fantasy XIII Lost Odyssey Remastered and PC port
Kameo: Elements of Power Remaster

Good post, I'm glad that you put it up. I was going to make a thread myself.
 
Phil Spencer needs to lay out a full plan for the future of Halo and 343. The studio is essentially a skeleton crew after the layoffs/high level departures.

Xbox=Halo. It is no surprise that Xbox has been lousy for the past decade when Halo has been mismanaged.

Phil needs to do a full statement saying:
A: Where the studio is.
B: How it got there (admit the failures of the studio and their entire design philosophy.)
C: The plan to fix it (Starting with Halo 3 Anniversary and a commitment to revert to the original Halo trilogy formula.)
D: The future of Halo Infinite
E: Cancel the Paramount show


Anything less than this is failure in my eyes so...yeah... not expecting a lot.
Probably a Halo Infinite Season 4 trailer and that's it.

Not to put too fine a point on it, you might want to temper your expectations. Halo is one franchise. I doubt you're going to get any kind of lengthy post-mortem least of all during a showcase where they're going to be revealing their release slate for the next 6-12 months.

Halo is THE franchise. You don't have Xbox without it.

But yes I am aware there isn't a snow balls chance in hell of my list coming to fruition at all.
 
The real question is:

Will they pay tribute to Pride month?

Give me the short blue haired vaguely female looking non binaries. I want at least one, introducing their game.

At the very least give me the rainbow Xbox logo.

Will be watching while doing a bit of DIY. Xbox really need to absolutely blow my tits off here quite frankly.

No more CGI trailers and Coming 'Soon'. It's been over a decade and they've spent a literal fortune with nothing to show, time to shit or get off the toilet
