Xbox annouces Gamescom 2024 plans, including over 50 playable games

Microsoft has announced its plans for Gamescom 2024.

The Xbox booth will feature over 50 playable games, split across first-party Xbox Games Studios releases and third-party Xbox titles.

Attendees will be able to go hands-on with upcoming Xbox releases, including:

  • Age of Mythology: Retold
  • Ara: History Untold
  • Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred
  • Fallout 76: Milepost Zero

Xbox will also host exclusive theater presentations of Avowed, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Starfield: Shattered Space.

Blizzard‘s Gamescom 2024 presence will also be part of the Xbox booth. The booth will feature a public hands-on gameplay demo of the Diablo 4 Spiritborn class, with a Diablo Immortal Helliquary boss tournament taking place as well.

A special immersive World of Warcraft experience will also be present at the show, “giving gamescom attendants the chance to feel the thrill of Skyriding in Azeroth.”

The Xbox booth will also have playable titles from third-party publishers, including Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws, Studio Wildcard’s ARK 2, Saber Interactive’s Space Marine 2, Rebellion’s Atomfall, and the return of GSC Game World’s S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl with a new demo.
