Gamescom is a trade fair for video games held annually at the Koelnmesse in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The event has been gathering amazing creators and developers around the world. Since 2019, Xbox didn’t have any presence at the European event, but luckily, this year will be different.
The company has announced today that they will make an appearance on the show floor at Gamescom 2022. Xbox also commented that the fans could expect insight into some of the previously announced games coming in the next 12 months. From the Xbox Booth or during Livestream, the big X invites everyone from Europe or anywhere else in the world to keep posted for some fantastic news.
