Xbox is Coming to Gamescom 2019
Following this year’s incredible E3 and the
breathtaking reaction we’ve had from our fans, we’re excited to
let you know that Xbox will be coming to gamescom 2019 in Cologne,
Germany. We’ll be bringing a great line up of games to the event from
developers around the world with almost 200 gameplay
stations in our booth, including the first public hands-on of both Minecraft Dungeons, Horde Mode in
Gears 5 and fans in Germany can also try Project xCloud for the first time.
Here’s a quick overview of what we’ll be getting up to at the show this year:

to announce that our booth is even more accessible to fans at the show

every game on the booth, wheelchair access at every point of the booth

all on-booth programming in both English and German.

hardware at our booth dedicated to gaming on Windows PC. We'll also
