It’s been a little over a month since fans around the world enjoyed the Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct and we’re delighted to say that, within seven days of the broadcast, we saw over 92 million views across our first ever double feature, trailers, and segments from the shows – a 38% rise in viewership over last year’s show. It’s become the highest rated and most-viewed show for Xbox, ever! We can’t thank you enough for being a part of that, and we hope you’re as excited as we are for Xbox’s future...

We’d like to thank all the teams involved, from the studios themselves, who worked tirelessly to bring their games to the show (many of them showing their projects off for the very first time), to the many, many people who worked behind the scenes to help make the show a success.

But most of all, we’d like to thank you for bringing your curiosity, your excitement, and your support. Xbox’s mission is to bring the joy of gaming to everyone, no matter where they are – and your joy at seeing the future of Xbox helps us know we’re on the right path.

Momentum is building, Starfield is going to be absolutely huge.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Can't wait for Starfield on PC with eventual mods

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

My most anticipated game for this year, can't wait!

 

[feynoob]

Sorry, only care about starfield

 

[havoc00]

Sorry

 

[CoreyFlawless]

Got me hype for starfield for sure. I was kinda eh, bout it. But after that show. It was a day one for sure

 

[adamsapple]

Sorry, only care about starfield

make up your mind, noob.

 

[H-I-M]

The show has 3 million views on YouTube...
Where the rest coming from?

I guess we'll never know, but the PR team can now claim that this was a Superbowl sized event without actually sharing the details.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Only a 39% bump?

 

[Gaiff]

Ok, but how many bags of chips were eaten or how many years did people laugh for? 10,000 years worth of laugh?

I want the real important metrics.

 

[SportsFan581]

The Starfield presentation was extremely thorough and one of the best segments about an individual game I've seen. The show also had games of almost every style and size, it deserves the good viewership numbers.

The 3m is from one stream, it had like 6 streams just on xbox's page and was streamed on the consoles, apps etc as well.

Go back and watch it again, they showed a lot of interesting things. Though Starfield did overshadow everything else, that couldn't be helped.

 

[Porticus]

Sure 92 milion views...

 

[DeepEnigma]

OMG we love internet view counts now!

 

[havoc00]

Sure 92 milion views...

It was probably over 150 million if you count how many people watched it together I had a party for it that drew 30

 

[SportsFan581]

OMG we love view internet counts now!

Well, I'm sure Bethesda cares a lot more about the pre-order numbers, but still.

 

[Ozriel]

OMG we love view internet counts now!

Xbox told you they hated YouTube views before?

 

[feynoob]

I watched it. Outside of starfield, nothing is interesting for me.
Avowed was a letdown for me.

 

[Wooxsvan]

my freshly built 7800x3d and 7900XTX are ready !

 

[Alan Wake]

They needed it. It was a good show and it seems they got some confidence back after a really tough 2022 and a rough start in 2023.

 

[feynoob]

make up your mind, noob.

I am waging a war against views threads.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Xbox told you they hated YouTube views before?

Yes. Told me personally.

What now?

 

[Kvally]

"a 38% rise in viewership over last year’s show"

Sounds good to me. I just want to see gaming grow and grow.

 

[JaksGhost]

The 3m is from one stream, it had like 6 streams just on xbox's page and was streamed on the consoles, apps etc as well.

It combined the individual views of the 27 games announced during the conference along with the stream and direct views over a 7-day period.

 

[Ozriel]

Yes. Told me personally.

What now?

[The Cockatrice]

Starfield saved it and thats about it. I've seen better MS shows at past E3.

 

[Freeman76]

Starfield is gonna shake up the RPG genre when it releases. Will be one of those games that its hard to go back to other shit afterwards

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

wow. better deliver then.

 

[adamsapple]

wow. better deliver then.

 

[FrankWza]

Sure 92 milion views...

Everyone that watched it was wearing glasses and they counted four eyes. Plus, they were bifocals

 

[Pop]

OH WOW Poggers

92 feels low when counting every single piece of media

 

[SportsFan581]

I watched it. Outside of starfield, nothing is interesting for me.
Avowed was a letdown for me.

I wasn't really moved by the Avowed trailer one way or the other, but that setting/time period isn't really a favorite of mine. Though the fact that they have guns in there and not just swords and spells might make me give it a look. The clockwork game looked interesting though. Fable will be a visual treat as well.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

The most expensive showcase in history at $7B dollars

 

[killatopak]

Thanks Todd.

 

[Pelta88]

The more eyes on Starfield the better.

 

[KU_]

Just wait until their Call of Duty streaming event!

Things really are beginning to look up, for Xbox.

Well deserved.

 

[IntentionalPun]

The Starfield direct was my favorite video game preview/video presentation/whatever ever in the ~40 or so years I've been paying attention.

BRING IT TO ME

How many were paid firms or bots, or how many were there to “evangelize” and “go to war”?

I could have been getting paid this whole time?? wtf

Non paid fans are flat suckas.

Get your application in!

 

[Isa]

For me the most hype moment of the show was this.


Overall it was entertaining and overall well paced and fun. Starfield also looks great, as does Forza. Interested in many of the games shown really.
