Microsoft will also hold its own conference at Gamescom -apkrig
Representatives of Microsoft confirmed that, as in the case of the E3 trade fair, they will have their own conference at Gamescom. It will take place on August 24 from 7 pm our time and will precede the expected Opening Night Live by moderator Geoff Keighley. In a short blog on the Xbox Wire portal, Microsoft confirmed its continued interest in the German trade fair, despite the fact that it will take place this year without the direct participation of fans at the exhibition center in Cologne. “Normally we would be packing our stuff at this time of year and going to meet our fans and the community at Cologne at Gamescom. But this year, the fair will be a 100 percent virtual experience, so you can join us from anywhere in the world, “says Sandro Odak, head of communications. In the details of what I can look forward to, players, however, are holding back expectations a bit and does not even suggest that there should be any major news announcements.

“To keep you hot for the week of the show, we’ll be broadcasting an official Xbox stream that will take you through Parris Lilly and Kate Yeager,” says Odak. Both are closely connected with Microsoft in terms of moderating various events and will be ready this year at Gamescom to learn from them about “the best gaming offer of exclusive games”. We have detailed information about some of the previously announced titles from Xbox Game Studios, there will also be titles from third-party developers and publishers, and as expected, there will also be news about the Game Pass or the xCloud service. The broadcast will be available on a variety of channels and regional sites, but as in the case of E3, it will be a pre-recorded event with subtitles in 30 languages. And since Czech was also available in June, we expect it to be no different in the case of Gamescom.
Furthermore, Odak is tempted to watch Opening Night Live, where he would potentially be to some the announcement may have occurred and also promises that Bethesda will have its program. Directed by the German division, players can look forward to a multi-day program that will begin on August 26 and run on Twitch. All this will be complemented by Xbox FanFest, which is to replace the opportunity to meet directly at the fairgrounds and enjoy games up close, as we have all been used to in recent years. Microsoft joined Digital FanFest last year, and although we have to wait a while to reveal the details of this year, we can already talk about competitions, quizzes, other streams about individual titles and various digital rewards that fans can receive. Last but not least, Microsoft promises a sale of up to 75 percent, which will apply to both console and PC games. Even in this case, we should find out the details later, but we have no problem here either to believethat Microsoft will want to entice anyone to buy the iconic games, who will even bother about the Xbox Store. Nevertheless, Odak concludes by saying that there is a Game Pass that new users can try for as little as a dollar, so it’s clear where Microsoft’s attention is. actually takes off.
