Microsoft will be holding its latest ID@Xbox Digital Showcase streaming event later today. The company is working with media site IGN which will host the event and will focus on announcements, reveals, trailers and more from games that are considered to be smaller independently developed titles.

Here's when to watch the ID@Xbox Digital Showcase, where you can stream it, and what we expect to see during the event.

When is the ID@Xbox Digital Showcase?

The stream will be held today, Monday, April 29, starting at 1 pm Eastern time (10 am Pacific)

Where can we watch the event?

The ID@Xbox Digital Showcase will be shown on IGN's YouTube and Twitch channels along with its ts official website, its social networking accounts, and its apps for mobile devices and smart TVs. In addition, there will be an American Sign Language (ASL) version streamed on YouTube as well.

What can we expect to see during the event?

According to Xbox Wire, the latest edition of the ID@Xbox Digital Showcase will have lots of news and gameplay footage for a number of games coming to both Xbox consoles and the PC. It added:

On top of epic trailers, fresh gameplay, and new reveals, the show will feature new details on upcoming games like Dungeons of Hinterberg, 33 Immortals, Lost Records Bloom & Rage, and many others.

In addition, PocketPair, the developer of the surprise hit game Palworld, has revealed there will be an announcement during the ID@Xbox Digital Showcase concerning that game.

We don't expect to see any major Microsoft first-party games revealed during the ID@Xbox Digital Showcase. Many of the games shown during the event will likely also be released for other platforms, including the PlayStation and Switch consoles.

Microsoft has already announced it will hold its big Xbox Game showcase event sometime in early June 2024. It will likely have the company's biggest first-party game reveals, along with release dates for previously announced titles and new gameplay footage. It will also likely have some third-party game reveals as well. Stay tuned as we will be reporting on all the major gaming news from Microsoft and elsewhere in the coming weeks.
