Fans can expect to witness a showcase of gameplays from Microsoft's first-party studios. The Xbox Game Showcase is the second event of the company for the gaming console. The first event was for third-party titles, which showcased 12 games. Aside from games, several industry insiders speculated that Microsoft might unveil its second next-generation gaming console at the said event.
The industry was bombarded recently of leaks and rumors claiming that Microsoft has a more affordable but less powerful console releasing alongside Xbox Series X. Dubbed as Lockhart or Xbox Series S, fans think that this is Microsoft's response to Sony's PS5 Digital Edition console.
