- Xbox could have another Developer Direct presentation later this year.
- Jez Corden revealed this info, a reliable insider with a great track record.
- The new event could focus on Xbox’s remaining massive game roster.
Xbox has started 2026 on a pretty positive note, showing a multitude of its projects in the recent Developer Direct presentation. While the current roster was plenty, several other awaited titles were still nowhere to be seen.
However, a notable industry insider says that Xbox still has a lot to show for this year, as its roster is stacked with games. Therefore, the executives are planning another Developer Direct presentation for later this year.
Why it matters: Another Developer Direct could reveal more details about the games already announced or showcase gameplay for titles from the recent presentation, including Gears of War: E-Day and State of Decay 3.
Insider Jez Corden shed light on this tidbit in the latest episode of the Xbox Two podcast, clarifying that Xbox is exploring another presentation for 2026. It could feature games meant for a late 2026 to mid-2027 launch.
Projects like Gears of War: E-Day, Clockwork Revolution, and State of Decay 3 are expected to appear in the presentation—all of the games that many fans have been curious about for a long time. The highly anticipated Halo remake may also be featured in the show.
I have heard that they are exploring doing another one this year. […] They’ve got a lot pretty decent amount of stuff to show.
-Jez Corden.
It’s unclear whether Xbox will have a Partner Preview event this year, as the brand skipped it in 2025. Since Xbox’s current lineup is mostly first-party, Jez argues he’s only heard about another Developer Direct for now.
Developer Direct two days ago featured four games, two of which were the highly anticipated Fable and Forza Horizon 6.
Fable’s open world is exceptionally vast and detailed, with fully enterable buildings, and it boasts 1000+ hand-crafted NPCs. It will launch in autumn 2026 on Xbox, PS5, and PC.
On the other hand, Forza Horizon 6 takes us to Japan on May 19 on PC and Xbox, with a PS5 release arriving later.
