Xbox Gamescom event – what to expect?
Gamescom is a huge gaming convention, and it usually takes place in Germany.
However, this year’s event is virtual – due to the global pandemic.
Microsoft runs its own Xbox Game Studios, so we can expect to see lots of new goodies coming out of that.
Particularly, we’ll be looking at sneak peeks of gamings launching in the last quarter of 2021.
That’s good news, as it’s the time when blockbuster titles launch in advance of Christmas.
We’d likely expect to see more info on the delayed Halo Infinite.
And we’ll probably hear about the eagerly anticipated Forza Horizon 5.
We might also catch a glimpse of some big-name third-party titles coming to Xbox.
That could be via news about the exceptionally good-value Xbox Game Pass – a subscription that gets you rolling access to over 100 games.
And we could hear about the new entries to the Battlefield and Far Cry franchises.
