It only lasted for about 75 minutes in the end (if you ignore the Outer Worlds 2 Direct that took place after it), but the Xbox Games Showcase 2025 managed to cram in a massive number of new announcements and updates in that time.
We definitely saw some of them proving more popular than others here at Pure Xbox, but a better metric to measure their success is to look at the official Xbox YouTube channel - and see which trailers have racked up the most views.
Yes, the trailers were posted to other channels as well, but many fans will have accessed them via official Xbox means, and therefore that's how we're going to determine a top 10. So, here are the most viewed trailers from the Xbox channel:
- ROG Xbox Ally (1.2 million views)
- Persona 4 Revival (676k views)
- Beast of Reincarnation (495k views)
- Super Meat Boy 3D (421k views)
- Invincible VS (401k views)
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (283k views)
- Aniimo (233k views)
- Mudang: Two Hearts (217k views)
- Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy (209k views)
- Grounded 2 (187k views)
As you can see, some of the results are pretty unexpected! There's no Gears of War: Reloaded, Outer Worlds 2, Keeper, Ninja Gaiden 4 or High on Life 2 in the mix at all here, with the list focusing instead on lesser-known titles for the most part, although the ROG Xbox Ally handheld dominated the lineup as expected.
There's only so much we can take from this, and it's certainly not an indication of how popular these games are going to prove when they launch, but there's clearly a lot of intrigue behind many of the non-first party games from the show.
