Xbox Games Showcase 2026 delivered one of the strongest Game Pass commitments Microsoft has made in years, with 17 titles confirmed to hit the subscription service on their respective launch days. The lineup spans titles launching this summer to early 2027 and includes some of the biggest franchises, from Gears of War and Fable to State of Decay and Minecraft.
2026 marks the 25th anniversary of XBOX, and we made sure to celebrate in style with the announcement of the XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition and XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition. Drawing inspiration from the original XBOX, both are packed with details reflecting 25 years of XBOX and the community that’s been with us along the way.
As part of our focus on the return of XBOX, we also announced that Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution will be XBOX console exclusives. These are not timed exclusives. Games already announced for multiplatform releases will stick to that plan – we’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond.
The most anticipated entries are Gears of War E-Day and Fable. Both have been in development for years and will be available on Game Pass from day one.
From our first-party studios, we saw world premieres for Senua, Spyro: A Realm Beyond and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations, got a new trailer for Fable (and its lead villain, played by Hayley Atwell), revealed release dates and brand new gameplay for Halo: Campaign Evolved and Minecraft Dungeons II, showed off fresh looks at State of Decay 3 and Clockwork Revolution, and offered a peek at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4‘s DMZ experience.
And, of course, we saw the first-ever gameplay trailer for Gears of War: E-Day, the upcoming origin story from The Coalition – and followed that up with Gears of War: E-Day Direct, as the development team themselves offered an in-depth look at the story, gameplay, and history of this hugely anticipated return from one of XBOX’s most legendary franchises.
From our partners across the globe, there was so much more besides. From ATLUS, we got a release date trailer for Persona 4 Revival, and the hugely exciting announcement of Persona 6. We also saw the world premiere of Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember, an action-packed release date announcement for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, a first look at METRO 2039 gameplay, and included a surprise release in the form of Where Winds Meet – among many, many others.

Fable Launches February 23, 2027 – New Trailer Introduces Hayley Atwell as Isabel
XBOX Series X|S, XBOX on PC, cloud, included with Game Pass, and is XBOX Play Anywhere – see developer website for other platforms
In the latest trailer for Fable, Playground Games introduced an important new character in the story: Isabel, the Hero of Wraithmarsh.
Isabel, brought to life by the amazing Hayley Atwell, is a powerful Hero with a tragic past. A former pupil of Guildmaster Humphry the Golden, her obsession with righting Albion’s wrongs has driven her to darkness in her search for answers.
Yet Isabel isn’t the only dark force looming over Albion. The trailer also teased the return of the legendary Jack of Blades, one of the most iconic characters from the original Fable. We’re excited for players to find out more about Jack’s role in our reimagined Albion. You can find out more about Isabel, as well as 10 other major characters, in XBOX Wire’s cast reveal feature.
We look forward to welcoming you back to Albion on February 23, 2027, with early access for the Premium Edition beginning February 18. Find out more and pre-order now at fablethegame.com.
Clockwork Revolution’s New Trailer Shows Bullets, Burlesque, and Butterfly Effects
XBOX Series X|S, XBOX on PC, cloud, included with Game Pass, and is XBOX Play Anywhere – see developer website for other platforms
Clockwork Revolution returned after last year’s bombastic, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink trailer with a deeper look at inXile entertainment’s reactive, time-bending steampunk RPG. This time, we’re introduced to Morgan’s gang, the Rotten Row Hooligans, as a heist goes sideways and puts them on a collision course with the ruthless Lady Ironwood.
In the chaos, Morgan discovers the Chronometer after being hurled into the past by Prentice — your companion throughout your adventure — and is forced into a desperate fight to survive, rewrite history, and shape a better future. From the grit of the Tangle to the spectacle of Avalon’s underbelly, burlesque halls, and back-alley gunfights, this is a world where every decision echoes forward, and time itself is a weapon. Find out more in our XBOX Wire article.
The showcase comes just two months after Microsoft cut Game Pass Ultimate pricing from $29.99 to $22.99 a month, a move driven by subscriber losses following a price hike last year. A day-one slate this large, headlined by such highly anticipated titles, gives the subscription a much stronger case for prospective subscribers.
