Notably, Microsoft specifically says this stream will offer a first look at actual gameplay. This is a welcome change from the cinematic reveals we’ve been getting for next-gen titles, including, most notably, of Series X titles Halo Infinite and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.
However, it’s important to note that Inside Xbox episode won’t actually feature first-party titles like Halo or Hellblade, given that Microsoft mentions the stream will feature gameplay from its “global developers partners.” On Twitter, Aaron Greenberg, GM of Xbox Games Marketing, confirmed that Xbox’s first-party teams are “hard at work on some big summer plans.” He says more details are coming “soon.”
So pumped to see our partners showing us a first look at Xbox Series X gameplay next week! Also know the Xbox Game Studios teams are hard at work on some big summer plans. More details soon! #GetHyped 🙌🏻🙅🏼♂️🔥 https://t.co/VXXsZnUYX5
