Hello everyone, and welcome to Windows Central’s live coverage of the Xbox Developer_Direct 2024 show! I have to say, I’m very glad that Microsoft seems to be making this an annual event, as the streamlined style of this showcase feels like a breath of fresh air compared to other gaming presentations. Team Windows Central collectively disliked The Game Awards and the way it prioritized ads and Hollywood celebrity appearances over letting developers actually talk about the games they’ve made, so an event like this that puts them front and center is a real palate cleanser.
I, along with my colleagues, will be covering the Developer_Direct live from start to finish, so make sure you stick with us as the event unfolds. Also, we’ll be bringing you plenty of commentary and analysis before, during, and after the show — and maybe even a few spicy hot takes, too. — Brendan Lowry, Gaming Contributor
