At the ridiculous time of 3 AM AEST this morning, the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase 2022 went down. Xbox promised that everything in the showcase would be released within the next 12 months and this led to some things being missed from the showcase like Hellblade 2, but we did see Redfall, Starfield, Scorn, Forza and more.
All the trailers and news from the event are below for you to check out.

In the first gameplay of Starfield ever showcased, Bethesda’s Todd Howard walked through the world, customisation and just how big Starfield is going to be upon release—kicking things off with the player arriving on the planet Kreet early in the game, shooting out with some pirates, before travelling to the Capital City, New Atlantis and speaking to some companions. We then looked at character customisation and how deep you can customise your ship, which is indeed flyable. There are also over 1000 planets to explore in Starfield, which sounds absolutely insane.
And with that journey to space and our first look at Starfield things wrapped up for the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase 2022. If you want to watch it in full, check out the video below.
