Microsoft has announced its next Xbox Developer Direct showcase for January 22, 2026, featuring in-depth looks at Fable, Forza Horizon 6, and Game Freak's Beast of Reincarnation. The event will provide gameplay footage and new details on these upcoming 2026 titles. All three games will be available on Xbox Series X/S, with Beast of Reincarnation also launching on PS5 and PC via Game Pass.
Xbox's chief content officer Matt Booty revealed that studios under the Xbox umbrella collaborate by sharing skills and technology.

Booty described this as a 'culture of cultures' where teams support each other without altering their identities.
