It's only been a little over a month since we saw plenty of exciting game reveals and trailers during The Game Awards, but for Xbox fans, there's already another show to enjoy: Xbox Developer_Direct 2024. Like the first iteration of the event that debuted near the start of 2023, this one will give players in-depth looks at several Microsoft first-party exclusives coming to Xbox and PC later this year.
Compared to larger showcases like Summer Game Fest and Gamescom Opening Night Live, the Xbox Developer_Direct is smaller in scope, with last year's show lasting just under 45 minutes. However, that shorter runtime means a tighter, focused look at "upcoming titles, how they’re being created, and who’s creating them," with none of the advertisements typically sprinkled throughout lengthier presentations. It's also fully presented by Xbox Game Studios developers, rather than by a host.
