Xbox Sets Times For June Games Showcase, Starfield Direct; Announces One More Show

Microsoft has announced more details on its gaming showcases in June, which include the main Xbox Games Showcase, the Starfield Direct, and an Xbox Games Showcase Extended showing.

The Xbox Games Showcase kicks things off on Sunday, June 11, starting at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. The Starfield Direct will follow immediately after. However, Microsoft did not say how long the Xbox Games Showcase will run for, so we don’t know when the Starfield Direct will begin.

“Join us for some new surprises and first-looks from our incredibly talented internal studios, and our many creative partners around the world,” Microsoft said of the Xbox Games Showcase.

The Starfield Direct, meanwhile, will provide “much, much more” information on Starfield, including “tons of new gameplay, developer interviews, and behind-the-scenes insider information.”
