For weeks now, rumors have been circulating that Microsoft was preparing two major digital Xbox Series X showcase events for May and June, and now we have partial confirmation!

It sounds like this upcoming Inside Xbox will mostly focus on third-party games. Xbox marketing head Aaron Greenberg seems to indicate we’ll have to wait until Microsoft’s second big digital event to see stuff from the first-party Xbox Games Studios.

Footage from third-party games should still be exciting, as we’ve still seen precious little next-gen console gameplay footage of any kind. Of course, Ubisoft just unveiled Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and the trailer was Xbox Series X branded, so it’s a pretty safe bet that shows up next week (Update: Ubisoft Spain confirmed it). What else might we see? Could we see some all-new game reveals? Could Activision, EA, or some other major publisher have something up their sleeves?

Of course, there were also those rumors Microsoft may be revealing the less-powerful Xbox Series S sometime soon. It sounds like the upcoming Inside Xbox will mostly focus on software, but who knows? Maybe there will be a little hardware surprise as well.

The next episode of Inside Xbox drops on May 7 at 8am PT. What are your thoughts? Excited to see some Xbox Series X gameplay? What games do you think we’ll be seeing?
