What you need to know
Recent reports have been confirmed! Anyone that plays games on Xbox or Windows PC can soon look forward to a showing for what’s next from the Xbox first-party lineup.
Microsoft confirmedWindows Central’s recent report, affirming that a new Developer_Direct show is being held on Jan. 25, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. ET. This show will take a look at new titles and updates from Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks, including Forza Motorsport from Turn 10 Studios, Minecraft Legends from Mojang Studios, The Elder Scrolls Online from ZeniMax Online Studios, andRedfallfrom Arkane Austin.
In line with Windows Central’s report, the upcoming science-fiction role-playing gameStarfield, which is being developed by Bethesda Game Studios, will not be at this show. Instead, the press release (viaXbox Wire) notes that Starfield will be getting its own dedicated show at some point in the future.
Windows Central’s take
As usual, our editor Jez Corden had accurate reporting with the days and even the games that would be featured here.
I appreciate Xbox and Bethesda addressing that Starfield will have its own dedicated show later, as if thishadn’tbeen brought up, there would’ve been disappointment. The branding for this show makes me think this is a new format Xbox is trying out, so I’m excited to see how it works, especially with the developers presenting gameplay footage and talking about their games. I’m also just excited to hopefully get release dates.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, new games are being added every month. Several big first-party games are on the way from Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks, including Redfall and Forza Motorsport.
