A small one Xbox digital showcase is teased by multiple sources and will apparently take place within the next few days. Xbox fans already have a lot to look forward to, with some major games set to release on the platform before the end of 2026. Between the company's own in-house developers and third-party partners, there's a wide variety of games headed to the Xbox Series X/S.
The next big Xbox published game isn't that far away. Forza Horizon 6 will be released on May 19 on PC and Xbox Series X/S. The previous game was a huge success for the Xbox, and early impressions of Forza Horizon 6 have been positive. Several years after the game's release, Forza Horizon 5 was released on PS5 last April. The series has quickly found an audience on Sony's platform, and PlayStation fans will not have to wait as long for the sequel, which Forza Horizon 6 coming to PS5 later this year.
Xbox makes big changes in performance
Xbox insiders are getting a glimpse of big performance changes now, but everyone else will have to wait a little longer for the launch.
The Next Showcase from Xbox
In a recent episode of the Septic Sauce podcast, insider Jez Corden claimed that Xbox “might” have something next week. Corden was asked by Gaz if this meant Xbox would have something to show during the PlayStation State of Play rumored for April. However, Corden was quick to note that this is “their own show” and that it will have something for gaming fans “in general.” In a post on Twitter, The Verge's Tom Warren followed up on Corden's comments, saying fans should expect to see an ID@Xbox show. That means the focus will be on indie games coming to Xbox Series X/S, as well as other platforms.
Xbox hasn't officially confirmed the show's existence, but with multiple sources making the claim, it's possible an official announcement will be made soon. A show focused on smaller games would make sense, as an Xbox Games Showcase has already been confirmed for June 7th. With a big event happening in less than two months, the company will probably avoid any major announcements until then.
Although fans shouldn't expect to hear new information about AAA games like Gears of War: E-Day or Fableit's possible that the next ID@Xbox could still have a lot to be excited about. Indie titles have always been part of Game Pass' appeal, strengthening the service's offerings beyond games offered by major publishers. ID@Xbox events tend to focus on titles that will be offered on Game Pass, often on day one. There may be some brand new games appearing for the first time ever, as well as updates on ones that have already been announced.

A new era is upon us on Xbox. Asha Sharma took Phil Spencer's place as head of Xbox earlier this year, and there have been several other changes at the company. It remains to be seen how the leadership changes will affect the company, and what will happen to the new system code called Project Helix. Sharma and Microsoft have a lot to prove, and the next few months should give fans an idea of where things are headed.
