The annual Xbox June Showcase is returning this year, and recent leaks about what it might entail point to it being a potential game-changer for the green brand. Xbox has done a lot to rebuild its reputation after the disastrous missteps that occurred during the Xbox One's early years, and those efforts have really been paying off as of late.

As part of its rebuilding strategy, Xbox has acquired a number of notable studios to build first-party, console exclusive games for the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S family of consoles. It took some time, but Xbox has now established a regular cadence of major new game releases, looking to average about four per year. This combined with the incredibly popular Xbox Game Pass has gone a long way in improving Xbox's reputation among gamers, and now it seems like the company will be making a big swing for the fences at its June Showcase.

Xbox Makes Major Cloud Gaming Improvements

Microsoft reveals notes for a recently released Xbox Insider update that includes the addition of a major Cloud Gaming feature.

Microsoft has confirmed that the Xbox Showcase will return for June 2024, though a specific date has not been announced. Xbox has also kept quiet about what exactly will be shown at the event, but insiders and leakers have potentially let the cat out of the bag when it comes to four potential announcements. If the rumors and leaks are to be believed, it's possible that Xbox fans will be treated to the reveal of Gears of War 6, a closer look at Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War, the confirmation of when Call of Duty games will join Xbox Game Pass, and an update on zombie game State of Decay 3.

Games Leaked and Rumored for the 2024 Xbox June Showcase

• Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War
• Call of Duty on Xbox Game Pass
• Gears of War 6
• State of Decay 3

Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War is the rumored title for the 2024 Call of Duty game. Developed by Treyarch, the 2024 Call of Duty is exciting because it's the first CoD game released under the Xbox umbrella, and beyond that, it had more time in the oven than any other Call of Duty game in history. Time will tell how the final product turns out, but many Call of Duty fans are cautiously optimistic about Black Ops Gulf War. The latest rumors suggest that Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War will actually be announced prior to the showcase, but fans will get another look at it during the event.

Black Ops Gulf War may be just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Call of Duty's presence at the showcase. It's also been teased by insiders that the event will be used to announce the debut of Call of Duty games on Xbox Game Pass, giving subscribers access to all the classic games in the long-running first-person shooter franchise.

As far as Gears of War 6 goes, it's been said that the game will potentially be as big for the Xbox Series X/S consoles as the original Gears of War was for the Xbox 360. There are no specifics as to what fans might be able to expect for State of Decay 3, though it has been teased that the zombie game will be making an appearance at the show, marking the first time fans got a meaty update about it since its initial announcement four years ago.

Of course, it's always best that fans treat leaks with a grain of salt, and so it may be better to keep one's expectations in check going into the June showcase. That being said, Xbox has been on somewhat of a roll lately, and so it will be exciting to see what all will be announced come June.
