The Xbox Games Showcase was absolutely brimming with new announcements and updates, and now we can look forward to hearing about even more upcoming Xbox exclusives as Microsoft has just confirmed that Xbox will be at Gamescom 2024. The Xbox team has already confirmed several of the games we can expect to see there, including the much-anticipated Avowed.

Xbox confirms partial line-up for Gamescom 2024

We know Nintendo won't be at Gamescom, and PlayStation apparently won't be present at this year's event either, with Sony sharing a statement to Eurogamer to say it currently has "no plans to exhibit at Gamescom 2024."

The Xbox Games Showcase was excellent when it came to the number and quality of announcements we got (although Tom makes a great case for why the Xbox Games Showcase and Summer Game Fest are still missing one major E3 factor), and it'll be interesting to see how many of these reappear at Gamescom, which is set to take place from August 21 to 25. Indeed, even with all those announcements there were still a few Xbox Games Showcase no-shows and Xbox exclusives we're hoping to hear about this year, and with Avowed's Xbox Games Showcase being followed by what appeared to be a reveal of a November release date, perhaps we could hope to see that confirmed at August's show.
