Today, January 22, 2026, Xbox Game Studios is hosting a highly anticipated presentation that offers fans a first look at several upcoming titles. The event, known as the Xbox Developer Direct, is set to begin at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET and will be streamed live on both the Xbox Twitch and YouTube channels.
Following a challenging year in 2025, Xbox is entering 2026 with renewed optimism and a lineup of intriguing games. The showcase is expected to feature confirmed titles such as the new Fable, Forza Horizon 6, and Beast of Reincarnation. While these three titles are already on the roster, fans are hopeful for additional surprises during the event.
The duration of this year’s presentation remains unspecified; however, last year’s Developer Direct ran for just under 53 minutes, providing ample time for detailed insights and trailers for each game. This year, viewers can expect a similar format, designed to engage the gaming community and highlight the creative efforts of Xbox’s development teams.
As the event unfolds, viewers are encouraged to return to Shacknews for a comprehensive recap of all announcements and reveals made during the showcase. With a focus on innovation and storytelling, Xbox Game Studios aims to captivate audiences and set the stage for a successful year ahead in the gaming industry.
