Xbox Games Showcase 2025: How to watch and what to expect

Xbox Games Showcase 2025: How to watch and what to expect

Digital Trends04-06-2025
This year has a packed schedule for summer showcases. Summer Game Fest 2025 kicks off properly on June 6 with the opening showcase that will be the big draw, but you shouldn't ignore one of the last showcase of the weekend. Xbox Games Showcase could easily match the kickoff showcase in terms of surprise reveals, looks at upcoming Xbox games, and overall hype. With Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda, and all its other first-party studios under its umbrella, we could be in for a groundbreaking show.
And non-Xbox players should tune in as well now that the days of exclusivity for Xbox is all but dead and it is willing to put its games on every platform it can. We don't want you to miss out on the last showcases of the event, so here's a quick rundown on how to watch it and what you can expect to see.

When is Xbox Games Showcase 2025
The Xbox Games Showcase is the second-to-last major showcase of SGF 2025 on Sunday, June 8, at 10 am PT. While technically its own separate showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct will start as soon as Xbox Games Showcase ends, essentially making it a double feature. There's no word on how long the combined showcases will last, but we predict the total runtime to be around 2 hours if past showcases are any indication.
How to watch Xbox Games Showcase 2025
Xbox wants to make sure you have no excuse to miss its showcase as it is streaming the event across every major platform and in most languages (including ASL). Here are all the official channels you can stream the show from, or you can watch it from the video above righthere in 4K 60FPS:
As with most major showcases, you can also expect tons of content creators to co-stream the event on their own channels.

Renesas Announces Consolidated Forecasts

TOKYO, July 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the consolidated financial forecasts for the nine months ending September 30, 2025. Renesas Electronics Group ("the Group") reports its consolidated forecasts on a quarterly basis as a range because of the difficulty of forecasting full-year results with high accuracy due to the short-term volatility of the semiconductor market. Additionally, in order to provide useful information to better understand the Group's constant business results, figures such as revenue, gross margin, and operating margin are presented in the non-GAAP format, which excludes or adjusts the non-recurring items related to acquisitions and other adjustments, including non-recurring expenses or income from the financial figures (GAAP, IFRS basis) following a certain set of rules. The gross margin and operating margin forecasts are given assuming the midpoint in the revenue forecast. Consolidated forecasts for the nine months ending September 30, 2025(January 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025) In millions of yen Non-GAAPRevenue Non-GAAP Gross Margin Non-GAAP Operating Margin Previous forecasts --- --- --- Forecasts as ofJuly 25, 2025 955,914to 970,914 56.7% 27.5% Increase (decrease) --- --- --- Percentage change --- --- --- Reference: Corresponding period of the previous year (January 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024) 1,055,879 56.4% 30.5% Note: Non-GAAP figures are calculated by removing or adjusting non-recurring items and other adjustments from GAAP (IFRS basis) figures following a certain set of rules. The Group believes non-GAAP measures provide useful information in understanding and evaluating the Group's constant business results, and, therefore, forecasts are provided on a non-GAAP basis. This adjustment and exclusion include the amortization of intangible assets recognized from acquisitions, other PPA (purchase price allocation) adjustments and stock-based compensation, as well as other non-recurring expenses and income the Group believes to be applicable. The consolidated forecasts for the nine months ending September 30, 2025, are calculated by combining the forecasts for the three months ending September 30, 2025, with the financial results of the six months ended June 30, 2025. The consolidated forecasts for the nine months ending September 30, 2025, are calculated at the rate of 148 yen per USD and 164 yen per Euro.

Game Pass has three amazing new games to play this weekend (July 25-27)

As the shadow of Gamescom looms in the distance and promises tons of updates on upcoming video games, Xbox Game Pass has decided to drop one of the best waves of new games all year. We have not just one, but two day one additions to the service that could each be considered one of the best of July for very different reasons. But even though my third pick isn't brand new to Xbox, it is one of those overlooked titles that I am thrilled to highlight alongside these juggernauts. The spread this week is near-perfect in my eyes, with options for purely single-player action, co-op action, and a more chill and introspective adventure. These are three amazing Game Pass games I will be playing all weekend long, and I think you should too. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers All the souls-like fans have had their eyes on Wuchang: Fallen Feathers since it was initially revealed. While it is from a different studio, this is another impressive game coming from China, like Black Myth: Wukong from last year. Set in the Ming Dynasty, you play as a set character rather than a created one, but have plenty of options to express yourself through outfits and build customization. This title heavily emphasizes dodges over blocking, and has a unique Madness system that provides a deep risk vs. reward system to every encounter. This is a brutal yet beautiful game that will be kicking my butt all weekend long. Recommended Videos Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Abiotic Factor The weekend is best spent hanging out with friends and family, so co-op games are a perfect way to get in some gaming and quality time. Abiotic Factor might have a simplistic art style, but has already become a smash hit on PC for its intense and emergent gameplay. The easiest way to describe the gameplay is a survival crafting game, but that undersells just how much personality Abiotic Factor has. It has a delightful '90s inspired sci-fi setting where you and up to five other players each take the role of a new research employee looking into unexplained paranormal entities. You will spend just as much time building, crafting, and maintaining your base as you do exploring the dangerous world and fighting. If you want something with hints of Lethal Company but much deeper RPG and crafting systems, Abiotic Factor is a perfect choice. Abiotic Factor is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Wheel World Summer is the best time to head out on your bike to explore the world, but you can also do that from the comfort of your own home if you want. Wheel World quietly launched this week day one on Game Pass, and puts you in the biking shoes of a young woman named Kat in a world where the fate of the entire universe depends on your biking skills. But don't feel too stressed because this is a chill game at heart. You're free to explore the open world, see the sights, engage in races, and find new bike parts to upgrade your ride. And there are tons of parts and styles to completely change the look and feel of your bike. If you feel like jumping into a less demanding game this weekend, this is a great game to just enjoy the vibes in. Wheel World is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
