ID@Xbox has another showcase lined up for Thursday, April 23, and the confirmed game list includes a few titles that should make this one worth your time.
The stream kicks off at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST. Expect exclusive trailers, new gameplay footage, and first looks at upcoming releases. Whether that promise delivers a genuinely packed hour or falls short depends on what shows up unannounced, but the confirmed titles alone justify tuning in.

What's already confirmed for the event
Four games have been officially named ahead of the broadcast. Here's the lineup:
- Aphelion: The new cinematic sci-fi adventure from DON'T NOD, the studio behind Life is Strange and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. This is the biggest name on the confirmed list.
- Solo Leveling Arise Overdrive: An updated version of the 2025 action RPG based on the Solo Leveling anime, which pulled solid player numbers after launch.
- Mistfall Hunter: A third-person action PvPvE extraction RPG, dropping straight into the genre that's been dominating player counts lately.
- There Are No Ghosts at the Grand: A hotel restoration and ghost-hunting adventure that looks like it's aiming for something between a cozy sim and light horror.
The event will also feature unannounced titles. ID@Xbox showcases have a solid track record of dropping surprises alongside confirmed names. The October 2025 edition included MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, Invincible VS, and Vampire Survivors content, so expectations are reasonably high.
Where to catch the stream
The broadcast goes live across multiple platforms simultaneously. You can watch on IGN.com, IGN's YouTube channel, Twitch, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), or through the IGN mobile apps. The stream will also be available through several partner gaming sites.
The multi-platform approach reflects how these showcases operate now. Getting the stream onto as many screens as possible matters more than platform exclusivity, and for viewers it just means picking whichever app is already open.
DON'T NOD's Aphelion is the one to watch
Aphelion is the most anticipated reveal here. DON'T NOD has built a reputation for narrative-driven games with strong character work, and a cinematic sci-fi adventure fits their wheelhouse perfectly. Details remain thin ahead of the event, which means Thursday's appearance could be a proper first look with a release window attached, or at minimum a substantial trailer. Either way, it's the title most likely to generate conversation after the stream ends.
Solo Leveling Arise Overdrive will also be worth watching for fans of the original. The base game launched in 2025 to a strong reception among anime fans and action RPG players, and an "Overdrive" edition suggests something more substantial than a standard update.
For the latest gaming news and latest reviews across all platforms, keep tabs on what comes out of Thursday's showcase. The confirmed lineup covers enough variety to suggest the full presentation will hit a broad range of genres and release timelines. Check our guides hub after the event for coverage on any games that catch your attention during the stream.
