Xbox is hosting its Developer Direct showcase today, and you’ll be able to watch along live on YouTube, Twitch or our handy embed below.
The stream starts as 1PM ET / 10AM PT and is supposed to feature updates from the developers of South of Midnight, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Doom: The Dark Ages. Xbox is also promising to “visit a surprise location to see another studio’s brand new game.” Windows Central reports the mysterious unannounced game is “a new entry in a legendary Japanese IP which has decades of history,” which certainly sounds intriguing. At the very least, the rest of the games featured are slated to launch in 2025.
Xbox spent most of 2024 adjusting its strategy around releasing games, delaying some titles to this year, and bringing some formerly exclusive games to the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. The company seems like it’s favoring timed exclusives over hoarding everything for Xbox and PC, so the job of this Developer Direct is a little bit different this time. Besides letting developers sell their games, the real test of the show is if it can get you excited about games that are coming to Xbox first, rather than only coming to Xbox at all.
You can watch the Xbox Developer Direct showcase on YouTube, Twitch, or right here in the embed above when it starts at 1PM ET / 10AM PT.
