What you need to know
Xbox Game Studios has announced it will be attending the world's biggest gaming convention, Gamescom 2024, to hold what it describes as its 'biggest booth yet'.
In addition, Xbox has announced it will bring several upcoming Xbox titles to the event, with plans to reveal more games as we get closer to Gamescom 2024.
Gamescom 2024 will take place in Cologne, Germany from August 21, 2024, to August 25, 2024. However, there will be an opening ceremony on August 20, 2024.
On June 20, Xbox Game Studios announced on their X account that it will once again be attending the world-famous gaming convention, Gamescom, and declared it will be hosting its, and I quote, "biggest booth yet".
Xbox Game Studios followed up by saying that it plans to show off several upcoming Xbox titles at its booth.
These won't be the only games as Xbox has stated it will reveal more titles at its booth over the coming weeks in the lead-up to Gamescom 2024. Of course, Xbox will no doubt also share more information regarding the titles it announced during the Xbox Games Showcase 2024 event and perhaps reveal new titles on top of that.
What is Gamescom and when does it start?

For those unfamiliar, Gamescom is one of the world's longest-running gaming conventions that's been annually held in Cologne, Germany, since 2009. AAA and indie developers and publishers flock to this event to hold booths where they present the latest information updates for their upcoming games and sometimes reveal projects they are in the pipeline.
What makes Gamescom special is that this convention is open to the general public. People can buy tickets and queue up to play games that are already out or currently in development.
This year's Gamescom convention will begin with an opening ceremony on August 20, 2024, and the event will fully commence on August 21, 2024, until August 25, 2024 .

In the wake of E3 closing down for good , Gamescom has now become one of, if not, the biggest gaming convention in the world. With this in mind, Xbox and several other studios will want to bring their A-game for this event and capture the audiences with their latest upcoming titles.
My most anticipated upcoming Xbox game at Gamescom (which isn't published by Xbox Game Studios) is Monster Hunter Wilds , which has been confirmed to make an appearance there by the game's official German X account.

Not only will Capcom be showing more gameplay details, but Monster Hunter Wilds will also be playable for the first time for visitors attending the event.
