We're expecting Xbox Game Pass to have a major presence at Xbox and Bethesda's joint E3 2021 conference this Sunday, but it looks like some kind of surprise is actually dropping on the day as part of the event as well.
Twitter user WalkingCat, who is known for scanning the Microsoft Store for hidden info, has found a splash screen which tells fans to "come back after the broadcast" for something Game Pass related, as you can see below:
As you can imagine, fans have been getting their hopes up that a shadow drop for the likes of Psychonauts 2 or Microsoft Flight Simulator might be involved, but it seems more probable to us that this might just be some kind of bonus pack or special Perk - perhaps for fans taking part in the Xbox FanFest on the same day.
In any case, we'll find out exactly what this is in just a few days' time!
What do you think this might be referring to? Give us your thoughts down in the comments below.

Even if this is just referring to a perk, we still know that they will be announcing new titles coming to Game Pass during the showcase and I can't imagine them all coming out too far in the future. Even if nothing gets shadow dropped, we can still expect lots of games coming next week. And the fact that these games are worth announcing at E3 and not through regular means, i.e. a blog post, means that they will most likely be more noteworthy than the usual titles.
Still hoping for the shadow drop of Flight Simulator. "Pre download it via the app right now, and play it from tomorrow" which would both work as a hype drop and not interfere with the rest of their E3 news cycle.
Game pass streaming on switch….please…?
Is it too early to hope for a massive update to fix the PC version? 🤔 😂
Death Stranding shadow drop after show. Or Ubisoft+.
Any chance it’ll be the missing Bethesda games?
A shadow drop of Ubisoft plus would be awesome =)
@Doctorwhoooourgh That would be awesome. Added it to my guess!
What if this is the rumored halo infinite beta?
Anything please please
@The_New_Butler I don't know. I think it would be a pretty smart, boss move to have a whole segment where they tell you (before or after) "Every game you just saw will be available Day 1 on Game Pass". It might even be their whole show.
I don't think we'll get any shadow drops of Psychonauts 2 or Flight Sim. Will be just release dates for those.
But I highly expect we will get the Game Pass slate for the 2nd half of the month.
Wouldn't be a shock to see The Evil Within 2 as that has left PS Now recently. And maybe Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
Maybe a Halo Infinite beta?
Halo infinite public beta/demo and a September release date or...STEAM on xbox!
On the actual tweet someone has replied with the situation and revealed the image is of an open vault with Gamepass cases in it
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge HD shadow drop with cross play between Xbox and PC users. Wow, I just set myself up for some serious disappointment.
Pleeeeeaasssseeee be Flight Simulator!! It’s already been rated by ESRB so it’s entirely plausible 🤞
Persona 5. <3 that would be pretty cool.
X Cloud on PC public release!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Ya I'm leaning on the Flight Sim release date, seeing as it looks like it might have been leaked already.
Mario Odyssey lol
