Xbox and Bethesda will be in attendance at Gamescom 2023, it has been confirmed today.
Xbox and Bethesda's presence at Gamescom 2023 was confirmed by the official Gamescom Twitter account earlier today, with the account stating: "Breaking – Xbox and Bethesda will join us on the showfloor for Gamescom 2023! More details soon". Fellow industry titan Nintendo announced back in April that it would be attending, as reported by VGC. But Sony, and by extension PlayStation, reportedly won't be at the event according to reporting from GamesMarkt (via VGC).
Gamescom 2023 will take place on August 23 until August 27, 2023, and is expected to be filled with announcements, new gameplay and potentially even official reveals for upcoming titles. Xbox and Bethesda's presence at Gamescom makes sense considering that Starfield, the crown jewel in Xbox's 2023 games lineup, is set to be released less than two weeks after the event concludes, with its other big 2023 release, Forza Motorsport, set to be released in October.
