Right after the Xbox Games Showcase 2026 wrapped up, the PC Gaming Show 2026 followed with another wave of announcements. While the show leans heavily toward PC, it featured plenty of titles confirmed for Xbox consoles as well. Here are the biggest Xbox-relevant reveals, including a surprise classic remaster, a Titanfall-inspired shooter, and several Game Pass updates.
HEADLINERS
Thief: The Dark Project Remastered (Winter 2026): Nightdive Studios revealed a remaster of the 1998 stealth classic, aiming to preserve the original's spirit and style while modernizing it for current hardware.
Empulse (June 24, 2026): A wall-running, mech-piloting shooter clearly inspired by Titanfall 2, with fast, kinetic movement and high-speed combat. It launches in early access on June 24, with a playable build during Steam Next Fest starting June 15.
Control Resonant (September 24, 2026): The next chapter moves out of the Oldest House and into a Manhattan warped by paranatural energy, with Dylan trying to figure out what is happening. Pre-orders are live on Steam.
