Overview & Key Takeaways

And the Gears of War: E-Day Direct that follows.

We're a few days into the nonstop livestreams of Summer Game Fest 2026, and still have a couple of shows left to close out the weekend. The Xbox Games Showcase takes today's first slot, then a Gears of War: E-Day Direct follows up immediately after with a closer look at the Marcus Fenix origin story.

When is the Xbox Games Showcase for SGF 2026?

The Xbox Games Showcase airs Sunday, June 7, at 10 am Pacific. You can check this full list of timezone conversions for calculating what time that is in your region, but here are a few for quick reference:

10 am PDT, June 5 (Los Angeles)
1 pm EDT (New York)
2 pm ART (Buenos Aires)
6 pm BST (London)
7 pm CEST (Berlin)
3 am AEST, June 6 (Sydney)

While Xbox hasn't confirmed today's exact runtime, previous Xbox livestreams were around two hours long. Developer Directs, like today's Gears feature, are included in that and average around 45 minutes long.

How to watch the Xbox Games Showcase

Today's Xbox livestream already has a placeholder on YouTube, so you can pop in now and wait for the show to start, or just visit one of its official channels directly:

What to expect from the Xbox Games Showcase

Xbox is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, so Summer Game Fest seems like the perfect place to make some noise around the occasion. We know Gears is there, and the recently announced Halo: Campaign Evolved seems like a safe bet, but what else is there?

State of Decay 3, probably. The apocalyptic survival crafting game just wrapped up a round of alpha testing in May. I'm assuming Fable 4 will show a little something too, considering it was just delayed into 2027. Then there's The Elder Scrolls 6, which I figure won't be there, but I do foresee a million "Elder Scrolls 6??" comments in every livestream chat for the next several years.

We've also put together a longer list of Summer Game Fest predictions, so maybe you'll find something to look forward to there if you haven't seen your most anticipated game yet.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword - All bosses

!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/rasho-gan.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Onimusha: Way of the Sword(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/onimusha-the-way-of-the-sword) marks the triumphant return of Capcom's samurai action franchise after a twenty-year hiatus, with all of the hallmarks that it possessed back in the PlayStation 2 days, including fast action, Issen counterattacks, and plenty of screen-filling bosses. Miyamoto Musashi will need every ounce of his wits and skill to beat these contenders, many of whom are dangerously fierce and reminiscent of Soulslike opponents, even though Way of the Sword is more of a traditional hack 'n slash action adventure game. Way of the Sword offers two difficulty modes upon startup, including a Story Mode that will let you decimate most enemies in your path. But on Action Mode, none of these bosses are a walk in the park, and some will even be a challenge on Story Mode. To help Musashi rise supreme against all contenders, we've got you covered with our comprehensive list of all bosses in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, along with strategies for beating them.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword - How to get Power Stones

!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/musashi-standing-by-shrine.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Power Stones in Onimusha: Way of the Sword(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/onimusha-the-way-of-the-sword) are one of the most important currency types you can get. You need Power Stones to unlock most of Musashi's major skills. And yet for all their significance, Way of the Sword never tells you where or how to find them. There are two main ways of getting Power Stones. One is largely outside your control, as it happens naturally while you progress the story. The other takes a bit of tracking down, and careful exploration of each level outside of the central Kyoto hub. In this guide, we'll explain how to get Power Stones in Onimusha: Way of the Sword and what to look out for while you're searching for treasure.
