Xbox has announced its Developer Direct 2026 showcase will take place later this month and offer new looks at some of the company's most anticipated games.

The first major gaming presentation of the year is scheduled to air on
January 22, 2026, at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM GMT and can be watched live on Xbox's official YouTube and Twitch channels.

According to the Xbox Wire post, this year's broadcast will bring viewers news, new gameplay, and insights from development teams working on upcoming titles.

The show will feature two games from Playground Games, with the UK studio expected to offer a first extended look at Fable and debut a gameplay trailer for Forza Horizon 6 .

Fable is set to launch sometime this year, but the upcoming deep dive will give player a first look at "some stunning new gameplay", as well as the game's core themes, which include choices, consequences, drama action, and more.

Playground Games will showcase the next Forza game in an open-world gameplay trailer, which will also include reveals of new features.

"Fittingly for Xboxs 25th anniversary year, that includes the return of some of our most legendary franchises, which rub shoulders with a brand new title from one of Japans most beloved studios," Xbox said.

This title is Beast of Reincarnation , which was revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase last year, and is developed by Game Freak.

The studio will share new details about the action role-playing game's (RPGs) protagonist Emma and her "innovative plant manipulation actions and gameplay with her canine companion, Koo."
