Xbox to Attend Gamescom 2025: What to Expect
Xbox has officially confirmed its participation in Gamescom 2025, an exciting development for fans eagerly awaiting the company’s next big showcase. The event will take place between August 20 and 24, and Xbox is likely to present new updates, announcements, and trailers. Joining Xbox at the event are Bethesda and the World of Warcraft team from Blizzard, adding to the excitement of the year’s biggest gaming showcase.
Since 2021, Xbox has hosted a Gamescom showcase every year, with the most recent edition featuring several livestreams that highlighted upcoming Xbox games. Although details on what will be featured in 2025 are scarce, there are some promising titles we expect to see. Following the Summer Game Fest, Microsoft has given us a clearer picture of what’s in store for the fall, which means we could get new information on the highly anticipated ROG Xbox Ally, a device set for release by year’s end.
There’s also speculation that we might witness the official reveal of the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition VR headset. Given the increasing importance of virtual reality in the gaming world, this could be a major announcement. Fans are also hoping for a VR version of some of their favorite Xbox games, which would be a huge step forward for the platform.
Another highly anticipated game, The Outer Worlds 2, may receive a significant marketing push ahead of its October 29, 2025, release. Likewise, we could get more details on the upcoming Indiana Jones DLC, which will be released on September 4, 2025. As for Call of Duty, Black Ops 7 is expected to make a big splash at Gamescom, following Xbox’s reveal of this year’s entry during the Summer Game Fest.
In addition to these major titles, we may also get a solid release date for Cronos: The New Dawn, a game that was also featured during the Summer Game Fest. A fresh trailer could accompany this, adding further excitement for its release. Fans of Ninja Gaiden 4 may not be disappointed either, as a gameplay trailer and even a live demo on the Gamescom floor are potential highlights.
Even though Xbox may not host a livestream event (though it seems unlikely), its presence at Gamescom guarantees that fans will have a chance to experience hands-on demos of upcoming games, including those releasing in the fall. Keep an eye on official announcements as the event date approaches.
