This was a focused livestream, with new game reveals, release date announcements, and fresh gameplay for upcoming titles headed to Xbox consoles and PC.
Gaming livestreams like this have been surprisingly plentiful in 2024, as Nintendo recently hosted a new Direct episode focused on third-party games and a Pokemon Presents event, while Sony's January State of Play was headlined by Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, and Death Stranding 2: On The Beach.
An Xbox Developer Direct was also held at the start of the year and provided new looks at upcoming games like Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Avowed, Visions of Mana, and Ara: History Untold. Not too long ago, a dedicated Xbox podcast also confirmed the company's plan to bring four of its first-party games to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles.
