Xbox is hosting its E3 conference, during which it is expected to unveil its next gen console and the games that will be played on it.

The event will allow Xbox to reveal the new titles coming over the next year and beyond.

And it will be the biggest event of the conference, since PlayStation has decided to avoid the gaming event entirely and will not be hosting a press conference.

As well as the next generation console, Microsoft is expected to show off a new Halo game, updates on Game Pass and its streaming service Project xCloud, as well as potentially unexpected Xbox games.

A bit of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for us, if yesterday's EA event wasn't enough.

Onto another world premiere. An utterly terrifying-look Blair Witch game!

Cyberpunk 2077 up now. It's looking very cyberpunk! But everything we're seeing seems to be cut scenes.

Wait! It's Keanu Reeves???? I'm sorry I ever doubted you. Here's Cyberpunk 2077 Keanu:

And here's the real one, who's currently on stage talking about how much he likes the game.

Keanu is having difficulty getting through his speech with all the people shouting adoration at him. ("The feeling of being there is really going to be breathtaking." "You're breathtaking!")

We're running through a host of already announced indie stuff here, which is each getting about one second, but I'll shout if there's anything especially interesting.

Here's the game that got the most time out of that quick run-through of the indie ID@Xbox games we just saw. (All of them will be on Game Pass at launch.)

RPG Time: The Legend of Wright. Here it is.
