What to expect
Live from Cologne
Xbox’s first gamescom broadcast brings developer interviews, special guests, gameplay reveals and new trailers from the show floor. Across its gamescom presence, Xbox has confirmed more than 25 upcoming games and over 140 playable stations.
Featured artwork
**Gears of War: E-Day** is confirmed as part of Xbox at gamescom and provides this page’s hero artwork. Xbox has not yet assigned every confirmed game to a specific Day 1 or Day 2 broadcast, so this page does not claim that E-Day will appear in this exact stream.
Why tune in
Watch for direct developer context, fresh gameplay and practical details that short announcement posts often miss. The linked game card lets you move from the event straight to GameDropRadar’s release information.
