Xbox Developer Direct 2026: the biggest games and announcements

In a now-annual tradition, Microsoft is kicking off the year with a showcase of some of its biggest upcoming games.

Last year’s edition of the Xbox Developer Direct had some big names, like Doom: The Dark Ages and a little game called Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. And we already know the three main titles that will be showcased in the 2026 version. They include Forza Horizon 6 (which looks like it’ll be launching in May), the oft-delayed fantasy RPG Fable, and Beast of Reincarnation, the action RPG from Pokémon developer Game Freak.
