The first of two Xbox livestreams from Gamescom 2025 has just finished, and it was a busy event as expected - featuring some big new announcements alongside deeper looks at loads of already-announced Xbox titles.

The Xbox Broadcast at Gamescom 2025 is set to go live on August 20, 2025, at 6 AM PDT. The stream will go live across the official Xbox Twitch and YouTube channels at the given time and will showcase various games coming to the platform in the future. Besides upcoming titles, Xbox is also ready to showcase its new handheld ROG Ally console.

Yep, live now on the official Dbrand website, an ROG Xbox Ally X version of the company's ' Killswitch ' case has been teased. At the moment, it's just a landing page with the option to request email updates on the accessory - but the site does provide a quick look at the case here ahead of its formal unveiling.

IGN's tech expert Will Judd speaks to the developers of the Asus ROG Ally X about some of the more intricate details about the new Xbox handheld, the ROG Xbox Ally X, including the speed of the handheld, the triggers, and whether an OLED screen was ever considered. IGN's gamescom 2025 coverage is presented by Metal Eden.

The brand returned to the biggest consumer gaming event that takes place annually in Cologne, Germany, with a first look at Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and new gameplay for The Outer Worlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4, and a new DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, called The Order of Giants.
