Microsoft would like you to know Xbox WILL be at this year's Gamescom


With Sony having surprised precisely no-one by announcing that, once again, PlayStation won't be at this year's Gamesco…

Microsoft shared the news over on social media, inviting attendees to visit its "biggest booth yet" when Gamescom returns to Cologne, Germany, in August this year. Microsoft will, of course, be the only major console maker to have at presence at Gamescom 2024; Nintendo confirmed it wouldn't be coming along back in April, saying there would be opportunities for players to try Switch games at other events throughout the year, and PlayStation confirmed a no-show earlier this week. Watch on YouTube Gamescom 2024 runs from 21st-25th August, and is preceded by Geoff Keighley's glitzy Opening Night Live showcase on 20th August - which promises two hours of game announcements, trailers, and gameplay reveals.
