How to watch the Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct today

The long-awaited Xbox Games Showcase takes place today and you can watch it live here.

Starting at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST / 7pm CEST, the Xbox Games Showcase will be followed by a Starfield Direct presentation which focuses solely on Bethesda‘s upcoming sci-fi RPG.

The event will be viewable live on official Xbox and Bethesda channels on YouTube, Twitch and Facebook, including via the YouTube video embedded at the top of this page.

Xbox points out that the YouTube versions of the stream will run at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, while the other channels will run the stream at 1080p and 60fps.

According to Xbox, both shows combined will run to around two hours in length, with the main Games Showcase promising to “fill you in on upcoming games from Xbox Game Studios and our incredible partners around the world”.

Following the show, Xbox will be hosting a second show called Xbox Games Showcase Extended on Tuesday, June 13 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST / 7pm CEST.

Xbox says the Extended show will “feature in-depth interviews” based on the games shown during the main Games Showcase, designed to shed more light on what was previously revealed.

Xbox VP of games marketing Aaron Greenberg claimed last week that none of the first-party trailers shown during the Xbox Games Showcase will consist entirely of CG footage.

“None of our first-party games in the show are full CG trailers,” Greenberg told a follower on Twitter. “Everything is either in-game footage, in-engine footage, or in-game footage with some cinematics. Each of our trailers will be labeled so it is hopefully clear for our fans.”
