Microsoft’s next Xbox Games Showcase will air in June

Special Starfield presentation will follow

Microsoft has announced that it will be holding its next major Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, June 11, timed with the launch of this year’s E3 2023 festivities.

The date was revealed in a tweet from the publisher, promoting a special presentation for Bethesda’s epic space opera Starfield. The Bethesda presentation is scheduled to take place immediately after the Xbox showcase, so it looks like there’s a full evening of Xbox-centric news, updates, and reveals set for that particular evening.

Starfield, which Bethesda is hoping will be a genuine sci-fi adventure for the ages, has been bouncing around the calendar for the past two years, before receiving a new release date of September 6 in an announcement made by the studio’s own Todd Howard yesterday. The team is promising a massive-scale exploration of stars and planets, bolstered by the power of Gen 9 technology.

Of course, when E3 rolls around, Destructoid will be right here bringing you all of the news from what is likely to be a seemingly endless rollout of live streams, press conferences, floor demos, and stage presentations. E3 2023 is scheduled to take place Tuesday, June 13 – Friday, June 16.
