Starfield and Forza won’t be playable at Gamescom 2023, but tons of other Xbox games will be
Microsoft has announced what is set to be its biggest booth presence yet for Gamescom 2023, with a large number of notable games being playable by the public for the first time, including Payday 3, Stalker 2 and Towerborne. However, two of the biggest Xbox games, Starfield and Forza Motorsport, will not be playable on the show floor.
Starfield, Forza Motorsport and Ara: History Untold from Oxide Games will only be shown during “exclusive theatre presentations”, which is pretty naff when you think that Starfield is out just a couple weeks later on 6th September and Forza on 10th October.
Still, there will be over 25 games that can be played at the Xbox booth, including Jusant from DontNod, Armored Core VI by FromSoftware, CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Under the Waves from Quantic Dreams, Persona 5 Tactica and more.
This will also be a celebration of 10 years of the [email protected] programme, and so Paradox’s Lamplighter’s League, Thunderful’s SteamWorld Build, Amplifier’s Lightyear Frontier, and other smaller and indie games will also be included.
All of this is being divided into three blocks within Hall 8 of the Koelnmesse, with the full line ups and features as follows:
The show floor will be accessible during the following times at the show:
