Xbox Gamescom 2021: All The Best Game Announcements & Trailers
Dying Light 2, Age of Empires IV, State of Decay 2 updates, and more are inbound!
For the video game aficionados out there, a few days ago just have felt like a preview of Christmas morning. That’s when Gamescom 2021 took place and Microsoft showed off a ton of upcoming titles and features coming to its Xbox consoles.
The entire Xbox Gamescom 2021 event was almost 90 minutes long and packed with both announcements expected and several surprises.
We’ll get to the games in a moment, but one of the biggest non-title announcements of the show was that Microsoft is bringing xCloud, the company’s gaming cloud streaming service, to the Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X this holiday season.
xCloud will allow Xbox gamers to start playing Game Pass games right away without having to wait to download them.
OK, now let’s get to the good stuff. These are the coolest games and trailers/gameplay that Microsoft showed off for its Xbox gaming consoles at Gamescom 2021.
