Did you know? The Xbox Showcase is ditching the whole &#8216;full CGI trailers&#8217; thing for first-party games. Yeah, you heard it right!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our main man, Aaron Greenberg, who&#8217;s the VP of Xbox Games Marketing at Microsoft, broke the news on Twitter recently. He guarantees that they&#8217;re keeping things real at the Xbox Showcase, scheduled for June 11th.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of using flashy CGI trailers, they&#8217;re planning to utilize &#8216;in-game footage&#8217;, &#8216;in-engine footage&#8217;, or a blend of &#8216;in-game footage with some cinematics.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Xbox Showcase Promise<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greenberg&#8217;s announcement sparked a surge of excitement among us, gamers! The very fact that everything we&#8217;ll witness at the Xbox Showcase from first-party developers would represent the actual gameplay, well, it\u2019s got us all thrilled! It&#8217;s a refreshing change from the regular drill where developers often resort to pure CG trailers, often leading to inflated expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;re aware there&#8217;s a buzz about this footage possibly being recorded on top-tier PCs, but let&#8217;s save that discussion for another day, shall we?<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">7 days until our first ever double feature.

Greenberg dropped another bombshell &#8211; the end of the &#8217;12-month rule&#8217;. Remember how during the 2022 show, Xbox assured us that nearly all games displayed would hit the market within a year? Well, that didn&#8217;t quite pan out, as very few games actually made it within that timeframe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This time, they&#8217;re scrapping the rule and focusing on a more authentic showcase.
