Xbox has finally announced the exact times for its upcoming Xbox Games Showcase in June, followed by the much-awaited Starfield Direct.
According to the Xbox news blog, fans can expect to get their first look at some of Xbox’s first party studios’ new titles, as well as third-party games and some surprises, and then directly after the main event will be a deep-dive into Bethesda’s next mammoth RPG, Starfield.
The post reads, “Join us for some new surprises and first-looks from our incredibly talented internal studios, and our many creative partners around the world. This is the day gamers have been waiting for to see what is coming to Xbox, PC, and Game Pass.
“Starfield Direct will invite you inside Bethesda Game Studios to learn much, much more about Starfield, with tons of new gameplay, developer interviews, and behind-the-scenes insider information.”
We’ve popped all the local ANZ time zones below so you know exactly how early you’ll need to set your alarm to catch this one as it happens:

Following the main showcase, on June 14th at the same times an Xbox Games Extended Showcase will take place, much like last year’s event. The extended showcase will feature in-depth interviews focused on the news from the Xbox Games Showcase as well as game updates from Xbox partners.
And again like last year’s event, Xbox Fanfests will be happening across the globe, including in Melbourne. Fans can register for a chance to attend the in-person events from the Xbox Fanfest page, but for anyone that misses out or isn’t near enough to one of the Fanfest locations, it’s also going to be happening virtually.
