Everything announced in Microsoft's Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase 2022

Starfield! Redfall! Forza! Kojima! More!

This was the big one! In this most curious of not-E3 weeks, Microsoft (and Bethesda) showed up with an old-fashioned E3-style showcase event, packed with gameplay videos for titles all out over the course of the next 12 months. Most are due out day one on Game Pass.

Highlights included our first look at Starfield gameplay, the mysterious Cocoon, the weird High On Life and Obsidian's new narrative adventure, Pentiment. Oh, and there was the small matter of Hideo Kojima making an Xbox exclusive.

In case you missed anything, here's everything announced in Microsoft and Bethesda's Games Showcase. Sit back, relax and enjoy catching up on all the reveals.

The show kicked off with a decent look at a recently-delayed first-party game: Arkane's Redfall. The gameplay clip showed plenty of first-person shooting at horrible vampires. It's due out 2023 on PC and Xbox and, of course, day one on Game Pass.

Spencer then announced a "special partnership" with video game developer legend Hideo Kojima to create a "brand new experience". Kojima said it's a "completely new game" that "no-one has ever seen before". It has something to do with Microsoft's cloud tech. It "may take some time". The upshot: Kojima is making an Xbox exclusive. Big!

The show ended with an extended look at Bethesda's Starfield, an "Xbox console exclusive", introduced by Todd Howard. Enjoy!
