Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can get Paramount+ for 30 days free. Problem is that the app isn't available in Europe (at least in Finland) and the Edge browser for Xbox doesn't seem to support the video codec on the Paramount+ website. So I'll have to stick to downloading the Halo episodes as there's no chance I'll watch this on my pc.

Apparently a preview build released with Minecraft RTX on console last week but it was an accident. Very strange, they showed Minecraft RTX running on Series X two years ago. I'm thinking it's probably not feasible on Series S so it's just cancelled altogether.

Hoping it’s good. Xbox needs to show up big here it’s been long enough since their acquisitions.
You're for sure getting Starfield and Redfall gameplay trailers. You'll also get a Forza Motorsport announcement. You'll very likely get Horizon 5 DLC announcement, Hellblade 2 trailer, Plagues Tail gameplay trailer, and Perfect Dark trailer.

I doubt we see Outer World, and think there's a decent chance we see a little more of either Fable or Avowed (with the latter being a safer bet). I think Contraband, the Western game they announced, will be shown in a little more detail.

Then there's announcements from companies they work close with, or exclusives, which I expect Microsoft will announce. Some EA announcements (Fallen Order 2?), maybe something Sega related? We'll have to see.

Probably some surprises. Maybe a bit more of the Indiana Jones title Bethesda is working on? An IP revival? And a bunch of indie titles, coming to Game Pass on Day 1. And of course, some new additions to Game Pass as soon as the day of the event.

The show will most definitely be centred around the Starfield trailer, though. This game has been in development for over 10 years now, is being created by the studio known for their interactive world-creation, and is their first new IP in over 20 years. This will show how this game is attempting to be bigger, better, and more creative than any other game.

Avowed was announced like two years ago so we will almost certainly see more of that game. Outer Worlds 2 is probably still in pre production, I wouldn't expect to see anything for a few years.

If those were the games I say Microsoft just doesn’t interest me anymore. I just don’t care about any of those (besides Starfield, forza is good but it’s a racing game) the other games (plague, fallen order) come to PS (my preferred ecosystem)

I’ll still pick up a Series, though.

I don’t think we see Perfect Dark given what we’ve heard about development. Maybe a better chance at Fable. I do think we see what a studio like Compulsion has been working on.

There’s also a rumor that Microsoft has been working with the Hitman devs on an exclusive so maybe we see that.

In all of these showcases, they show multi-platform games they have the marketing rights to. Example: one of the last State of Plays was all about Hogwarts Legacy - a game coming to XSX as well. One difference is Plague drops GP Day 1.

Lots of great games there and I’m sure even more will be announced. If last years E3 is any indication, Xbox plays are going to be very excited soon.

I have to say I'm really annoyed how EA seemed to create the additional tier of EA Play just to take their games off GamePass. Very annoying. Why would they do they deal just to take half the stuff off? Of course I know why money.

Nope. That is still Bad Company 2.
If it had 48 players and prone, I'd agree. I'd say BF4 > BC2 >>> BF3 >>>>> whatever.

Nothing tops the old Battlefield 2 though.

that being said, I wouldn't mind a NG BC2 version on cosole (4k60 and 322 player)
