Microsoft will be hosting an Xbox Games Showcase this coming Thursday, July 23. Microsoft’s GM of games marketing Aaron Greenberg last week stated the showcase will be around one hour in length and will be focused on just games. 

The Xbox Games Showcase will start at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm BST, however, there will be a Summer Game Fest pre-show starting an hour earlier at 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm BST with Geoff Keighley. You will be able to watch the Xbox Games Showcaqse on YouTubeTwitchFacebook, and Twitter.

Keighley in a Q&A live stream said the pre-show will include some new game announcements, trailers and more with a range of smaller titles to some bigger titles. 

"The pre-show for Xbox will include some new game announcements and a bunch of trailers & content," says Keighley. "For some cool stuff that ranges from smaller titles to some really big games as well. You know, kinda maybe announced games, but have new content to show."

Halo Infinite

On the main show, Keighley says the Xbox team will have a "really strong show." They learned from the May third-party event and the upcoming event will be bigger and be tighter. 

"I think Xbox is going to have a really strong show next week," he says. "They took all the notes in from May. They'll have a bigger and tighter show. And there is the pre-show which will kind of lead into that and have some games as well."

The Xbox Series X will launch in Holiday 2020.

Odd choice of thumbnail. I think XSX has a controller problem so I don't see that being any part of the showcase unless glossed over real fast.

I feel like the preshow will most likely be entirely third party/Indies, while the main show focuses on exclusives. That's the only way splitting the shows makes sense to me. I'm finding it hard to believe that MS can pull of a full hour of just first party games though.

I think the pre-show will focus on 3rd parties and gameplay of previously announced games like Scorn, The Medium, The Ascent, and 2nd Extinction; and some release dates like Gears Tactics and Flight Simulator.
