So grab your snacks and mark your calendars because you won’t want to miss these must-see showcases happening in Germany!
Let’s kick things off with the main event—the Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase on Tuesday, August 19th. Starting at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 7pm BST, this two-hour extravaganza promises a treasure trove of reveals, including some juicy updates on the hottest upcoming Xbox titles. You can catch all the action live right here at Pure Xbox, where we’ll also provide a full recap of what’s unveiled. Trust us; this is an event you simply can’t afford to miss!
But wait, there’s more! The first of two Xbox livestreams is set for August 20th. Starting at 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm BST, this three-hour deep dive will showcase a plethora of upcoming Xbox games, along with some exciting news about the ROG Xbox Ally handhelds set to release later this year. Again, you can follow along with us at Pure Xbox—we’ll have the full livestream and a recap so you won’t miss a beat!
If you’re in the mood for something a little different, you might want to check out the ‘Into the Infinite’ showcase on the same day. Although it’s not entirely focused on Xbox news, the 2024 edition brought us some exciting reveals, including titles like Age of Empires: Mobile and Warhammer: Vermintide 2. This one goes live on August 20th at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST, so fit it into your schedule between the Xbox broadcast and the Future Games Show. You never know what surprises might be in store!
Speaking of surprises, the Future Games Show 2025 is another highlight of Gamescom 2025. Fans of great-looking games will want to tune in on August 20th at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 7pm BST. This show is always packed with announcements, many of which are set to come to Xbox. As usual, we’ll have a comprehensive recap of all the Xbox-related news right after the event wraps up. Don’t forget to check out the “related article” featuring details on last year’s Future Games Show—it was a two-hour spectacle of gaming announcements!
Now, let’s talk about the second Xbox livestream, which will take place on August 21st. While this one is expected to be a bit more laid-back compared to the previous day, there’s always the potential for some delightful surprises! Just like before, it kicks off at 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm BST. We’ll be livestreaming the entire show here at Pure Xbox, and we’ll provide a complete roundup of both days’ reveals. You know we’ve got your back!
Feeling adventurous? There’s also the Awesome Indies showcase happening during Gamescom. While it might not be the biggest event, it’s a fun opportunity to discover smaller titles, many of which will be exclusive to PC, but some may eventually find their way to Xbox. The start time is tentatively set for 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm BST, right after the Xbox show wraps up. Keep an eye on the Gamescom YouTube channel for updates on this one!
And if you’re looking for more Gamescom goodness as the week progresses, don’t forget to check out the Bethesda Twitch channel. They’ll be hosting developer interviews, game showcases, and even some community segments. While we’re not expecting any major news from this, it should still be an interesting watch. Xbox Wire is promoting it as available exclusively on the Bethesda DE Twitch channel, but there’s no formal start time yet. Just a heads up—last year, it started around 5am PT / 8am ET / 1pm BST for the final days of the event.
As we dive into the thrilling world of Gamescom 2025, we’ll be recapping all the major reveals, including a full rundown of the Gamescom Opening Night Live, both Xbox broadcasts, and the Future Games Show.
