Xbox confirms it will attend Gamescom 2023

Xbox and Bethesda will attend Gamescom 2023, it’s been announced.

“Breaking – Xbox and Bethesda will join us on the showfloor for Gamescom 2023! More details soon,” wrote the official Gamescom account on Twitter.

No further details were announced, but the announcement does mark the second of the ‘big three’ console makers to confirm attendance, after Nintendo announced back in April that it would be attending.

Gamescom will run from August 23-27. Gamescom Opening Night Live, the kick-off showcase hosted and produced by Geoff Keighley, will return on August 22.

Xbox & Bethesda’s largest release of 2023, Starfield, will launch just two weeks after the show. Xbox’s other big 2023 game, Forza Motorsport, will be released on October 10 for Xbox Series X/S and PC.


Nintendo last attended the convention in 2019, when it primarily showcased games launching later that year. It also had a large number of booths on the show floor for consumers to try its games.

In its latest Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo announced a number of new games set for release by the end of 2023, including Super Mario Bros Wonder, Super Mario RPG and WarioWare: Move It.

PlayStation may not be attending Gamescom, however. According to the German industry publication GamesMarkt, Sony has no plans to attend the show.

According to organisers Koelnmesse and the German Games Industry Association, as of the middle of March, 10% more companies had registered for 2023’s event than had done so for 2022’s show at the same time a year earlier.
