Here at Pure Xbox we're inexplicably excited for next month's big games showcase. It's been a good six months since the anniversary event last year, and we're eager to learn more about Xbox in 2022. Well, these new Twitter posts from Phil Spencer and Aaron Greenberg are hardly helping with the wait!
The Xbox Boss has taken to the social media platform to show a wholesome image of the two teams together. To be honest, we can't wait to see what these games look like!
Xbox marketing exec Aaron Greenberg was also part of the trip, posting his own picture of the teams as they test out games for the upcoming showcase.
Most of you will probably have spotted everyone's favourite hype man Todd Howard in the mix too, who will no doubt be around next month to show off Starfield. As for what else the showcase will bring? We'll just have to wait and see. There's only about a month to go!
What do you want Xbox & Bethesda to bring to the showcase? Let us know in the comments below.

I'm so nervous about Starfield. I want it to absorb me like Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim and Fallout 3 did but in whole new ways. Those are all some of my most cherished gaming memories, it felt like you were part of this larger world with so much freedom to do what you wanted.
But since then Bethesda's games have got progressively worse. Please be a return to form.
I believe they'll deliver.
Aside: Xbox Series X is still available at Amazon UK right now if anyone is still looking
Both Xbox and Bethesda have a point to prove with Starfield. If the game fails to live up to the hype then it will have a lot of negative impact on both but more on Bethesda.
I'm hopeful for Starfield, but only because I have such fond memories of the Bethusda classics from a long time ago.
I don't believe they have released a top tier title that was good for some time, and I'm concerned that MS has had little influence other than bank rolling, so I'm a little apprehensive it will be poor, but I have no desire to see this do badly, far from it I want to be absorbed like the classic titles got me.
I think this title does matter for Xbox. There's not enough first party content we all know this, so the few titles that are 1st party AAA's need to shine, especially when they are hyped to the max. If this is another fall out 76 I think it will reflect very badly on Xbox with the general public.
I'm interested to see what Starfield actually offers as a 'Gaming' experience. I don't see that 'Bethesda' or 'Xbox' have anything to prove. I admit I was somewhat disappointed by 'Fallout 4' and felt it was more Fallout 3 in a more colourful environment and some 'clunky' base building mechanic bolted on - with the usual 'bugs/glitches' you expect from a open world game with many different situational things that really can't be tested for.
I also know Fallout 76 was a 'disaster' at launch, not what people really wanted or expected, numerous issues too but to Bethesdas credit, they really turned that around and its now a very different game - still not necessarily what people 'wanted' from a Fallout game.
I am NOT expecting a 'Perfect' release at launch as in 'everything' is Bug/Glitch free. Its 'impossible to test 'every' single aspect, especially situational aspects that giving players 'total' freedom to do what they want, when they want, how they want can test for. Whose going to test whether you can Glitch under a Map by slide jumping at a specific point on a wall that has 'no logical reason' to be doing that? Test whether certain gear from later game has some 'glitch/bug' when you do an early side mission, they only have a 'limited' number of Testers all with limited 'Hours' of testing. 100 testers playing 40hrs a week for 4wks is only 16000hrs. As soon as its released, you have 'millions' of hours accumulating, millions of different players playing their way that 'testers' could never predict/copy.
They or MS don't have to prove anything to me -MS had the 'best' critically rated games of 2021 and have shown a commitment to releasing great games. Bethesda have now got much more Financial Security and support to realise their vision. If its NOT to your taste/liking, that's NOT their fault!!
@themightyant the games you mentioned are awesome I didn't really care for fallout 4 not sure why. I would love if they announced a Morrowind remake or remaster wouldn't that be cool?
@themightyant
Series x stock.
Still in stock at Amazon and also Game UK.
Still some at Smyths toys uk in most stores
Just do store stock check to find a store near you and go pick one up.
I can’t work out if it’s good there is so much stock about or if some advertising of gamepass and some new AAA exclusives are really required.
@Titntin
Yes I think xbox have a lot riding on this game.
Some people so they don’t it’s only one game,
But if you want more gamepass and console sales which can lead to game pass sales, then they need some must have AAA exclusives.
FH5 was top notch, but Halo didn’t bring it at the very top end to set the world alight.
They need to understand Xbox is for the whole year and not just a big showcase in June and a game or two in the exclusive AAA category at Christmas.
And make sure those AAA games set the gaming world a light and talking Xbox. Word and mouth the form of free advertising.
When you read the game charts online or in a shop, there is not one Xbox title showing the console even exists in the gaming top ten charts.
Again free advertising and good PR is being missed out on.
If the general public see the charts full of Nintendo and PlayStation they know they exist and are popular.
@VisitingComet1 Skywind the fan made remake of Morrowind in Skyrim’s engine is the closest we will get to that I feel. It’s also only PC as the mods too big for Xbox unless something has changed
