Xbox is loading the cannon for gamescom 2026 with 25 playable titles and 140 stations ready to fry thumbs in Cologne. The booth hits Hall 7 with hands-on for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's 6v6 multiplayer, the first public Gears of War: E-Day campaign slice dropping October 6, Fable's live combat demo from Playground, and Minecraft Dungeons II co-op chaos.

They’re also flexing the 25-year anniversary with retro stations, Xbox FanFest sweepstakes, and streams on YouTube and Twitch starting August 26. Titles like METRO 2039, Alien: Isolation 2, Halo: Campaign Evolved, and Forza Horizon 6 round out a lineup heavy on first looks.

Community chatter on X is buzzing with FOMO over the E-Day hands-on and Fable theater while Spanish and Portuguese accounts hype the full 25-game drop. For once, Xbox is showing up stacked instead of just talking.

Can't make it? The streams are your ticket. Go watch the booth cook live.
