It’s one of our favourite times of the year: gamescom! This year we’re bringing the biggest Xbox booth we’ve ever had to the biggest gaming event in the world. We can’t wait to hang out with our amazing Xbox community in Cologne.
But you don’t need to book a ticket to Germany to join us. We know not everyone can make it, so we want to make sure we’re bringing the joy, passion and pure vibes of Xbox at gamescom direct to you at home!
Alongside full coverage of the event here on Xbox Wire, Xbox at gamescom 2023: Live from the Show Floor offers 3 days of livestreamed broadcasting from the heart of our booth from Wednesday, August 23, to Friday, August 25.
Airing from 4pm-7pm CEST (7am-10am Pacific) each day, we’ll bring you developer interviews, deep-dives and gameplay for huge titles coming to Xbox and PC like Age of Empires IV, Alan Wake 2, ARA: History Untold, Party Animals, PAYDAY 3, Towerborne, Forza Motorsport, Starfield, and more.
We’ll also chat to Xbox’s Phil Spencer, get a glimpse behind-the-scenes of the development of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 with the team at Ninja Theory, and celebrate the 10-year anniversary of ID@Xbox.
We’ll take you on a tour around the booth and make sure you don’t miss a thing – no matter where you are in the world!
