Today's Xbox Games Showcase 2026 was a continuation of Xbox boss Asha Sharma's efforts to achieve the 'return of Xbox' by bringing back Xbox console exclusives, though that wasn't the only notable return in the show. Activision revealed the return of the most popular purple dragon in gaming, as Spyro: A Realm Beyond brings the franchise back with its first new game in years, and yes, it's Toys For Bob behind it.

Fable has been delayed into February 2027, it was announced today by Xbox ahead of its Xbox Games Showcase as part of Summer Game Fest 2026 on June 7, 2026. After just getting done with bringing Forza Horizon 6 to market, developer Playground Games is getting a little more time to polish up the reboot of the RPG series, though the delay seems to be as much about avoiding Grand Theft Auto 6 as it is about Playground needing the extra time. A statement from Xbox shared on its official X (formerly Twitter) account directly cites the onslaught of major […]
