Microsoft’s E3 presentation in 2014 featured a broad mix of major releases, returning franchises, new projects and indie games. The rundown below follows Engadget’s coverage published June 9, 2014; its release windows and platform notes are historical, not current availability information.
Engadget’s June 9, 2014 roundup covered individual announcements and grouped showcases from Microsoft’s E3 presentation. Not every game in the presentation was a new announcement, and the ID@Xbox titles listed later are examples from a trailer rather than a complete catalogue.

This is a snapshot of what Engadget covered from Microsoft’s 2014 E3 presentation, not a current guide to what is available on Xbox or other platforms. The roundup mixed upcoming releases, previously announced projects, franchise returns and updates. Its release windows, exclusivity language and other forward-looking details belong to the 2014 context and should not be treated as present-day facts.
