Xbox vs Bethesda Developer_Direct January 2023: How to watch and what to expect

Xbox and Bethesda both said specifically that they can expect “updated information on Xbox games launching in the next few months, including The Elder Scrolls Online, Forza Motorsport, Minecraft Legends, and Redfall.” One name notably missing from that list is Starfield, but Bethesda has bigger plans for this long-awaited title.

“To make time for a deep dive into Starfield at Bethesda Game Studios, a standalone show is in the works,” Xbox Wire staff wrote.

As for what fans can expect from the games expected out there, it all starts with The Elder Scrolls Online. Studio Director Matt Firor will discuss the 2023 main chapter update, including “the latest regions of Tamriel to become playable at ESO, as well as a major new feature coming in the game’s biggest update of the year.”

If that wasn’t enough for ESO, Developer_Direct will follow an ESO Chapter Reveal event that will delve deeper into all the new stuff coming to the game. If you are interested, you can also watch the ESO Chapter Revel Event at IGN’s YouTube.

Turn 10 Studios plans to share “more exciting new gameplay and details” for Forza Motorsport and Mojang Studios will offer “an inside look at the multiplayer PvP experience in Minecraft Legends.”

Finally, Arkane Austin will feature “several minutes of gameplay” from Redfall, and will include Single and Multiplayer gameplay and details on combat, customization, bosses, open world, and more.
