Xbox is returning once more to Gamescom this year, and this week, we got a preview of what the company’s plans there are at the gaming event. Those attending in-person will naturally have some gaming-related activities to look forward to like walking the Sea of Thieves plank and seeing bosses from Grounded while also spending hands-on time with first and third-party games. For the majority of people who will be watching from home or catching up on the gaming news after it’s streamed, you’ll be able to see gameplay and develop presentations centered around those upcoming games as well.

“Expect developer interviews and gameplay from various Xbox Game Studios including Mojang Studios, Obsidian Entertainment, and World’s Edge plus Xbox Game Studios Publishing and their partners at Asobo Studio, in addition to some of our highly anticipated games from our third-party partners,” Microsoft said. “Join us for the whole stream or tune in for the latest on your most anticipated titles.”
