The Xbox Games Showcase 2024 aired on June 9, 2024, and was followed immediately by a separate Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct. The show combined games from Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda, and Xbox Game Studios with announcements from third-party partners, and it also introduced three new Xbox Series X|S console options. This guide covers what was shown, which games had exact release dates and which had only year-only windows, the platforms and Game Pass details listed for each title, and where the trailers appear in Xbox Wire’s official recap.

Platforms and Game Pass
Platform and Game Pass information is attached to each game’s entry in the recap, and the sets differ by title. Two examples:

Keep the qualifiers as written. Black Ops 6’s Game Pass access applies only to select plans, and some entries carry the note “see developer website for other platforms.” Other titles name different platform sets, so check each game’s entry in the recap instead of assuming a neighbouring title shares its platforms.
