But as previously announced, the Starfield Direct (a showcase that is dedicated to Starfield, and Starfield alone) will air immediately after the main showcase. The main show will feature surprises and first-looks at Microsoft’s first-party studios, but also from third-party partners, too.
Microsoft has said that both the Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct will be available on the company’s Twitch, YouTube, Twitch ASL, and Facebook channels, and the main show is set to include “news and updates about games coming to Xbox, PC, and Cloud Gaming”.

Lastly, Xbox says “Our virtual and in-person FanFest events are also returning this year, with opportunities to watch our broadcast with local fans in Los Angeles, Mexico City, São Paulo, Melbourne, and Warsaw”.
