Gamescom 2014 is underway, starting with press briefings from the big console players: Microsoft and Sony. The House of Xbox is up first, with an 8am ET livestream (via Twitch) of its pre-show news blast, and we’ve got the livestream right here. What will we see that’s new?

Expect more from Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Probably new glimpses at Forza Horizon 2 and Sunset Overdrive as well. All three are fall releases that Xbox One owners have to look forward to. The real question we have is just how much love the Xbox 360 will be getting during Microsoft’s stage show.

We’ll find out soon enough. Tune in at 8am ET for the whole shebang.

Players aren’t getting a big-ticket game like Halo Infinite or Forza Horizon 5, leaving parents scrambling to figure out a clear gift this year. Instead, Microsoft is pushing a series of smaller titles set to debut on Xbox Game Pass. That list includes comedic shooter High on Life, biopunk horror game Scorn, and indie darling Slime Rancher 2. But the most intriguing game on Xbox’s slate is also the most atypical: Pentiment.

Gamescom 2022 is set to take place between August 24 and August 28 as a hybrid event -- meaning it will take place both online and at the Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany -- and we're expecting no shortage of gaming news and demos over the course of those five exciting days. More than 500 companies have already registered for the show, including a solid selection of high-profile publishers eager to show off what they've been working on. Here are most of the major players you can expect to see at the show in August.

2K Games
We have little to go on when it comes to what 2K is going to show off at Gamescom 2022, but it's safe to assume we'll get a first look at some new content for Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and a glimpse at some upcoming sports titles. Beyond that, though, there are two major franchises with new entries in the works that we're all hoping to see.
