The big-time, first-party Xbox Series X game showcase starts now with brand new Halo Infinite gameplay. After getting a closer look at Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and some other light gameplay demos on Series X back in May, Microsoft is now ready to open the flood gate on Halo Infinite. Today’s livestream event is expected to focus on major first-party titles like the upcoming Halo Infinite, but we are also expecting to see more Microsoft Studios titles in action and maybe even more about the Xbox Series S “Lockhart.” Head below for today’s Xbox Series X game showcase.
Today’s Xbox Series X game showcase is expected to be headlined by the upcoming Halo Infinite — the sixth mainline entry in the series and a direct follow-up to Halo 5: Guardians. Summer Game Fest host Geoff Keighley has all but confirmed we will be getting a brand new gameplay demo for Infinite today. From there, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 and likely Microsoft studio Obsidian will also be front and center. Possibly Elden Ring? Or the new Forza?
The Xbox Series X showcase pre-show even had a few world premieres of its own, including Dragon Quest coming to Xbox for the first time (including Game Pass), as well as our first look at the ExoMecha shooter — a new free-to-play game coming in 2021 — and a new Watch Dogs Legion trailer. This post will be updated with all of the full-resolution trailers as they hit.
Will we get the Xbox Series X release date? Or the Xbox Series X price? More on Project XCloud? Check out the live stream below to find out. The presentation starts in just a few minutes and you can watch it live below:

Halo Infinite:
In Halo Infinite’s campaign, the Master Chief returns when humanity’s fate hangs in the balance to confront the most ruthless foe he’s ever faced – the Banished.
As expected, Halo Infinite is taking center stage today. With a gameplay demo on display, you really couldn’t have asked for a more gameplay-focused showcase for the upcoming Halo experience. It is essentially a full-on campaign demo, title screen and all — with loads of gameplay and some cutscenes to setup up the narrative. The game is several times larger than both of the previous games combined. It runs at a “flawless 60 frames per second.”

A severed arm and a mysterious message lead the crew of the Unreliable to the Gorgon Asteroid, formerly the site of one of Halcyon’s most ambitious and disastrous scientific undertakings – now a lawless den of monsters and marauders. Wealthy recluse Minnie Ambrose tasks the crew with finding answers about Dr. Olivia Ambrose, her mother and the doomed project’s disgraced director, but they are soon ensnared in an intrigue that will change the colony forever.

Here’s everything you need to know about Xbox Series X as well as a flurry of the latest updates on Kinect support, discontinued consoles, and more. You can also check out the previous Series X showcase right here and everything we know about Xbox Series S “Lockhart” here. Ubisoft just recently announced it would not be raising the price on next-generation games, unlike the way 3K is doing with the new NBA 2K21. Titles like Cyberpunk 2077 are offering completely free next-gen upgrades, so hopefully, these industry heavy-weights will influence others to keep the $60 MSRP.
