Xbox At gamescom 2017

Here at Xbox, we’re still buzzing from our fans’ reaction to our news at E3 – from the unveiling of the Xbox One X to the 42 games shown on our stage. But we’re only just getting started. Today, we’re pleased to announce that in August we’re coming to Cologne, Germany for gamescom 2017. This will be the first time Xbox One X will be on the ground in Europe and we’ll have a huge line up of 27 playable games for the Xbox One family of devices and Windows 10 PC from developers around the world, including Forza Motorsport 7, Age of Empires Definitive Edition and Sea of Thieves.

Here’s a rundown of what we’ll be up to throughout the week:

Xbox @ gamescom Live

Tune in on Sunday, August 20, at 8:00pm BST to a special Xbox @ gamescom live show to get latest news and announcements on Xbox One X.


The show will be hosted by Graeme Boyd (aka @AceyBongos) and Xbox Germany’s Maxi Graeff (@GMaxee). They’ll have news to share, games to show off, will sit down to talk with developers from fan favorite studios and play some of the year’s hottest games yet to be released. There will even be a few surprises and giveaways along the way, so be sure to tune in on mixer.com or watch via the mixer app.

Age of Empires @ gamescom Live

On Monday, August 21, starting at 9:00pm CEST, 12:00pm PDT, Microsoft will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Age of Empires franchise with a special livestream event in Cologne, alongside some of our biggest fans. The livestream will celebrate the rich history of the beloved PC game series, as well as give fans a first-look at Age of Empires: Definitive Edition, the beautifully remastered edition of this bona fide classic we announced at E3 last month. We’ll be talking all things Age of Empires with some of the legendary developers who worked on the games as well as sharing some exciting news that fans will not want to miss – watch on mixer.com or through the mixer app.

We’ll share more details on how you can attend in person very soon.

Xbox FanFest @ gamescom

We will again be hosting an Xbox FanFest experience for our fans who are attending gamescom 2017. FanFest will begin on Tuesday, August 22nd. We will be sharing more details on our plans soon and look forward to seeing you there!

Xbox Booth @ gamescom

When gamescom officially opens at the Koelnmesse on Tuesday, August 22, gamers in Germany will be able to get hands on Xbox One X for the first time at the Xbox booth. We’re back in Hall 8 of the Koelnmesse, North entrance, this year and you won’t want to miss the opportunity to play a wide collection of the games coming to Xbox over the next 12 months. See below for the show opening times:

Tuesday, August 22 – 9:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. CEST (press/trade only day)
Wednesday, August 23 – 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. CEST
Thursday, August 24 – 9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. CEST
Friday, August 25 – 9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. CEST
Saturday, August 26 – 9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. CEST

And throughout the week, we’ll be tweeting, live streaming and sharing news and content via social media – Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, Mixer, etc, most often using the hashtag #XboxGC. Whether in person or online, you won’t want to miss what we have in store this year!

All I want is PUBG seen running on an Xbox and its release date. If they announce that its up on market place now I'll lose my s**t! there was rumours it was going up on market place yesterday...

Sea of Thieves is going to have the Gamescom build playable in the alpha again like at E3.

Apparently there's going to be 'new anouncement's but we'll see.

Age of Empires 2HD/4 to launch on Xbox as well with mouse and keyboard support is my guess

That would be bloody amazing :D .
I know it would be a pointless waste of the extra power but it would be yet another reason for me to get the OX.

Xbox has a series of events taking place during the week, alongside a hefty live-stream presentation on the Sunday (I'm reliably told it will be a long one, and feature a few promising announcements). Microsoft appears acutely aware of how important the next few days will be in building hype for its new machine, particularly in Europe

:dread:

Have they just not listened to any feedback from E3? :dread: That was overly long with pretty minimal actual announcements and far too many "gameplay" demos. Watching someone play through a scripted section at a conference is a massive waste of time and I can't understand why they haven't realised that yet.

"Long" presentation, "few" announcements.

I'll only bother if they do some Mixer rewards again.

I'm sold on the Xbox One X already. I'm not holding my breath, but with the push back of Crackdown 3, I would like it if there's a little surprise not just a rehash of E3.

Given the imminent time to release of Dishonoured 2: Death to the Outsider and the Xcom 2 expansion, I'm going to take a punt and say these two will have some sort of Xbox One X enhanced gameplay.

I'm also looking forward to seeing other enhanced games. Doom would be a nice bonus.

I'm also curious to see if we'll hear a little more about the changes to Achievements that was in the news recently.

Pretty sure at E3 they showed Doom and Dishonored 2 are getting 4K updates.

Damn, just when i thought i didn't need a day one X.

https://mspoweruser.com/xbox-one-x-proj ... ad-reveal/

It looks like Microsoft will incorporate the name of Project Scorpio in the console. According to various images that appeared on Twitter and on various German retailers, Xbox One X: Project Scorpio Edition will be the Day One version of the console. It looks like it has an amazing textured pattern on one side too. However, the star of the design has to be the “Project Scorpio” in green letters on the front of the console and the controller.

Are those (green?) Doritos genuine?!? I'm not sure if the Pepsi Company is actually trolling gamers or not, now :lol: .

If it is real all they need now is a Pizza Hut and Mountain Dew tie-in and the classic 'fat strawberry float gamer in his parent's basement' stereotype is complete.
