Summer Game Fest is well underway, and after Sony’s State of Play and the main SGF Showcase have wrapped, attention is now shifting squarely to the XBOX Games Showcase 2026. This year, Microsoft is splitting its presentation into two parts: the main XBOX-focused showcase will lead the charge, followed immediately by a dedicated Gears of War: E-Day Direct, which promises to offer an in-depth look at the highly anticipated prequel.
But beyond the return of Marcus Fenix’s crew, what else can fans expect from the event? We’ve gathered a comprehensive list of every confirmed and rumored game for the showcase. Here’s everything you need to know.
Every Confirmed Game for the XBOX Games Showcase
While it’s no surprise that Gears of War: E-Day will appear, a now-removed Steam banner inadvertently confirmed seven titles for the event. Eagle-eyed user curatorgamingx on X spotted the list, which included:
- FableNone of these are shocking, but each carries significant weight. Fable recently suffered a delay, so a fresh gameplay trailer should help keep anticipation alive. Halo Campaign Evolved feels overdue for a release date, especially given recent leaks. Minecraft Dungeons 2 already appeared prematurely on the Nintendo eShop, pointing to an official unveiling on Sunday. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is expected to showcase the returning DMZ extraction mode. Meanwhile, Clockwork Revolution could finally get a release date, and State of Decay 3, which has been in development for years, might debut a new trailer and a potential release window.
Every Rumored Game for the XBOX Games Showcase
Beyond the confirmed heavy hitters, there’s still room for major surprises. Based on industry rumors and speculation, here’s what else has a strong chance of appearing.
Persona 4 Revival was revealed at last year’s showcase and has since been rated in Korea, suggesting a release date announcement is imminent. Rumors point to a February 2027 launch, but we could get confirmation on Sunday.
Persona 6 is the elephant in the room. While Persona 4 Revival is exciting, fans are hungry for the next mainline entry. Reports indicate that SEGA has been issuing copyright strikes to leakers, a strong sign that a reveal is being prepared. Even a simple announcement would electrify the fanbase.
Metro 2039 received a captivating teaser back in April, and with a late 2026 release window, it’s time for proper gameplay. The post-apocalyptic series has a loyal following, and fans are ready for more.
Beast of Reincarnation, Game Freak’s ambitious non-Pokémon title, has appeared at multiple events but remains without a release date. Slated for a day-one Game Pass launch, it could finally show new gameplay.
Blade was announced at the 2023 Game Awards, but nearly three years of silence have left fans anxious. With the MCU movie stalled, a gameplay reveal or even an acknowledgment would be welcome.
Fallout 3 Remake has been rumored for years. While Elder Scrolls 6 remains distant, a remake of the beloved classic could fill the gap. An official announcement on Sunday would not be surprising.
Wolfenstein 3 is reportedly in development, and over a decade after The New Order, a conclusion to the trilogy feels overdue. A reveal at the showcase is a strong possibility.
