Xbox fans have long been waiting to get information on this year’s Xbox game slate, which will include games like Redfall and the highly anticipated Starfield. It looks like we won’t have to wait much longer if our information is correct.
I heard there was an Xbox show on the horizon in December as we discussed it on our site Xbox Two Podcasts, but we’ve since been able to lock down the information with a variety of sources familiar to Microsoft’s plans. It appears the show will be called Developer_Direct, and it could be part of a new initiative from Microsoft and Xbox to offer insight into games arriving more frequently, away from the main marketing beats of E3 and the Game Awards.
From what we understand, Developer_Direct should premiere January 25 at 12pm PT on the official Xbox channels at contraction And Youtube. Although these dates may be subject to change. The show will be hosted by both Xbox and Bethesda, with a deep dive into it RedfallAnd Legends of MinecraftAnd Go Motorsportand content from ZeniMax Online Studios.

Microsoft has come under fire in recent years for offering relatively anemic Xbox exclusivity through 2022, despite earning strong critical praise for titles like Grounded and Pentiment, alongside continued updates to Sea of Thieves and Flight Simulator. Xbox Game Pass has also been firing on all cylinders, with strong titles like Vampire Survivors and Plague Tale: Requiem last year, with The Rise of the Monster Hunter First day of landing in service in the coming weeks.
Hopefully, the Developer_Direct offering is the start of a more frequent marketing cycle for the company, as many fans have asked Microsoft to look into Nintendo’s “Direct”-style offerings to keep the news cycle going. We’re expecting Microsoft to make the show official as early as this week, so be sure to stay tuned.
