Microsoft has unveiled its full plan for Xbox at Gamescom 2024, with over 50 titles set to be showcased at the event.

Nintendo follows Sony’s lead and sits out Gamescom
“Specially constructed theatres” will bring an element of intrigue to proceedings. These platforms will be utilized to showcase selected titles, displaying “presentations of Avowed, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Starfield: Shattered Space.”
At the convention, there will also be a community hub, photo opportunities, and an official Gear Shop with offerings from Xbox Game Studios, Blizzard, Activision, and Bethesda.
There will be plenty to see, get involved in, and enjoy, but there will be no participation from Sony and Nintendo, which have both confirmed they will be absent.
Sony’s expected decision comes as no surprise after many years of skipping Gamescom, but many will be disappointed that Nintendo has taken a similar approach after having a presence at the event in recent years.
