Reports suggest that an Xbox showcase might be coming in early 2023, with one first-party team expected to reveal its next title, including hints at a new game announcement from a first-party studio.
Xbox
The year 2022 has been a difficult one for Xbox, with Starfield being pushed back to 2023 and not much else in terms of first-party releases.
In the upcoming year, Xbox is planning on strengthening its game lineup. An exhibition in early 2023 highlighting these games may aid in launching a successful start for the year.
Games Previously Announced
Games previously unveiled for the Xbox in 2023 include
- Redfall
- Starfield
- Forza Motorsport
- Legends of Minecraft
Though these four games still don’t have a release date, an early 2023 showcase would be an ideal chance to learn about their progress.

Xbox Game Pass
Xbox Game Pass will remain a major priority for Xbox going into 2023. Therefore, at a showcase, it’s reasonable to expect more information about Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Ark 2, Flintlock, and other highly anticipated releases.
Jeff Grubb
The report of an Xbox game showcase in early 2023 comes from Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb.
Grubb mentions hearing about the event but does not provide any sources for his assertion that it is happening. He does mention that others have “hinted” at the event as well, seemingly to back up what he is saying.
New Game from Tango Gameworks
According to Grubb’s Xbox report, an event is planned that will include the unveiling of a new game from one of Microsoft’s studios. Reportedly, it would be from Tango Gameworks, although with a caveat.
Unlike major titles such as The Evil Within or Ghostwire: Tokyo, this new game is expected to be a more compact project akin to Pentimento. The smaller game is being developed simultaneously while the studio works on Avowed.
What Xbox Is Doing Right Now?
Apart from video games, Xbox currently has to answer a big question that many fans are likely asking: what is Xbox doing right now?
Xbox has been strangely quiet in the latter part of 2022, so most followers of their products are probably unaware of what’s next for 2023. Although there may not be a lot to reveal, a game-showcasing event during the start of 2023 would help ease fans’ worries.
Our experts’ test and review all the latest technology, so make sure to check that out.
Conclusion
As of now, it’s still likely just a rumor that Xbox might have an event planned in the early part of 2023. While Grubb has historically been accurate in his reports, there is also a chance of him misinterpreting or receiving news that has changed since he was told about it.
In case there is an Xbox event in the near future, it’s likely that an official announcement will be made soon.
