Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024 – How To Watch The Big Event

The biggest Summer gaming showcase, gamescom Opening Night Live 2024, is finally here, and as it airs today, CGMagazine has you covered with where to watch.

There are many massive video game showcases every year to highlight what’s to come next in the video game industry. One of Summer’s biggest, gamescom Opening Night Live 2024, is today, and with all of the exciting announcements that have happened in 2024, many things have been left unrevealed for the big showcase. It has been confirmed that Xbox will run a massive booth at this year’s show, whereas the other two of the big three, Sony and Nintendo, will be skipping the show entirely. So, while 2024 has some mysteries to unravel, fans shouldn’t expect anything to come out of the PlayStation or Nintendo Switch camps .

Host of gamescom Opening Night Live 2024, Geoff Keighley , has confirmed a list of highly anticipated upcoming titles (and expansions) that will be spotlighted this year on his official X (formerly Twitter) account. To no one’s surprise, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be shown, along with the new Batman: Arkham Shadow VR title, and the recently confirmed as an Xbox console exclusive, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will have the red carpet rolled out for them.
