It’s been over a year since Sony first started talking about the PlayStation 5, but we’re still waiting for our first proper glimpse of next-gen gameplay. That changes today courtesy of, well, an Inside Xbox stream. Yes, we fully encourage you to visit our sister site Pure Xbox for a more tailored look at what the Team in Green has in store, but with the third-party titles on display almost certainly coming to PS5 as well, we simply had to share this in some capacity.
One game that’s been confirmed for the briefing is Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, with Ubisoft promising a “taste” of Xbox Series X gameplay from the Viking-flavoured affair. Outside of that, rumours have been scarce. The Redmond platform holder has been eager to manage expectations, so perhaps don’t watch this expecting too many megatons, but it’ll be nice to have the curtain pulled back a little bit on next-gen gameplay, won’t it? We’ve been waiting far too long.
The show will get underway from 8AM PT / 4PM BST.

Can't believe we still haven't seen a PS5 game in action yet.
i was gonna watch a stream of Valhalla game play but the chat was so toxic and it's not even set to start yet
seriously there is no "console war" except in their heads, PS5 or Series X no matter which one you get why can't people just let others enjoy their games?
It's May and all we've seen is the PS5 logo and the DualSense (1?). The console should be launching in 5/6 months. It's maddening the lack of...much of anything!
I love how the Xbox reveal is going to be our first time seeing PS5 games in motion! Should be interesting though I reckon graphics won’t be a huge leap for now, it’ll be the details.
@FullbringIchigo
Is that on Pure Xbox? I was going to join, but if that's the case, I'll pass. The toxicity level with the Xbox players is one of the reasons I never latched on. I sold my 360 about a month after buying and never looked back.
Hi folks! Fraser from Pure Xbox here - we'd love for you to come join our live broadcast! Hope to see you there.
Thanks for the shoutout @get2sammyb
@lacerz no it was on YouTube, Pure XBOX is pretty cool and chill, you should head on over
I'm ready. Can't wait !!
@FullbringIchigo
Cool, I'll check them out.
EDIT: Same log in as Push Square. Nice!
@FraserG You're welcome! Enjoy!
Elden ring come on from software.word up son
@get2sammyb @FraserG Awesome to see this cross-pollination! I know this particular stream will be relevant to PlayStation fans, but...better together!
@FullbringIchigo I always hide chat for these things. For one, it scrolls too fast to even pay attention. Secondly, I hate stupidity.
With regards to chats, do be careful if you're watching this on YouTube or Twitch or something. Lots of The Last of Us 2 spoilers.
Half watching while working.
@get2sammyb I assume you guys will have the usual reliable summaries afterwards?
So excited for this, we got our popcorn ready!!
I've woken up early for this, hope it's worth it. I'm a sucker for catching this stuff live. Got my cuppa ready, now show me some next gen goodness.
I apologize, folks, but today I'll watch the live from PureXbox. =)
@Shepherd_Tallon Yeah, we'll cover anything relevant to PS5 here.
Is that wind bag Phil spinster going to be presenting it? If he is thats a hard pass. Can't stand him.
Yakuza. On an xbox show. 🤦🏻♂️😭
At least more people get to try such a wonderful series i guess!
Sigh.
Wow. I'm sorry but what a cringe fest.
Well that was kinda underwhelming, to say the least. Not much gameplay overall.
Well, that is interesting seeing Yakuza 7 coming to Xbox Series X presumably at the same time as PS4/PS5.
So did we actually see any "gameplay"? Like, at all? I don't remember anything but cutscenes.
@get2sammyb this is the only reason im gonna skip the live show and catch up later. I just new folks would be throwing TLoU2 spoilers all over the chats. Appreciate the heads up.
Thst was very underwhelming, felt like they've rushed that out, not much gameplay at all
They are using the term “gameplay” very loosely there. Haha.
I should have stayed asleep. Oh well, I'm sure there will be good stuff in the coming weeks.
Everything shown looked like PS4 games. Nothing made me want to upgrade to a XSX/PS5. Should not have woke up for this.
Not worth watching. Doesn't make me want to upgrade my Xbox or PS4 at the moment tbh. Looks worse than some games we are already playing.
honestly kind underwhelming, most were just trailers using in game footage true but very little actual game play, especial Valhalla, i feel lied to over that one
we was promised game play but got a in game trailer
Well, I'll stick to my Switch and PS4 for the time being if this is what next-gen means...
Oh dear, that was dreadful. ‘Gameplay reveal’? Please!
Nothing next gen about any of the other content either.
Well, guess we’re waiting on Sony now. Bring it on!
@Ken_Kaniff I agree, nothing looked better than Horizon zero dawn
This was disappointing from what I was able to catch.
There was nothing really innovative here. The same games with better graphics.
Maybe Sony are right to take their time?
Still, Vampire is looking good. I'm eager to see more of that one.
The Bloodlines game looks really like an average PS3 game. Did not see anything new or even next-gen looking. AC Valhalla looked the best, but there are still PS4 games that look much better.
Dude. I didn't see a single reason to buy into next gen.
I wish there was more gameplay but there are a few games I'm interested in such as The Medium, Chorvs and Scarlett Nexus
Medium saved it. Most of the other reveals looked like hot trash from mid gen ps4. Why did they even bother with this?
So many dislikes yikes
I’m getting a Series X but even I was disappointed with that Inside Xbox show. I thought some good games were revealed but relied too heavily on CGI trailers and not enough gameplay. At least MS are being a lot more forthcoming with showing games for next gen, same can’t be said of Sony who really need to be pulling their fingers out after MS said there will be monthly reveals up until the Series X launches.
Lets be honest Last of us 2 looks better in the graphics department than anything shown there
All those youtube/twitter experts suggesting things like Batman, Elden Ring, Harry Potter etc are going to feel a bit miffed right now. I'm just gutted there wasn't a bit more on AC Valhalla.
Scorn looked interesting, but just CGI.
Medium is probably the most interesting, but Soul Reaver did the zip between versions of the world on PSX, can't see anything there that couldn't be done by current gen games. Not particularly impressed I'm sad to say.
Don't believe in console wars bt that Inside xbox was downright TRASH....
Let's be frank. Some of the games looked interesting. I'm sure as we learn more and see actual "gameplay" there will be some that I'll add to my PSN wish list. That said, nothing looked at all "next gen". If that's what the Xbox Series X has to offer, it's very underwhelming.
Really underwhelming. Medium was the only one that catched my attention, and Scorn, but zero gameplay from that one. All other games, meh. I like MS being more communicative than Sony but showing these games as "Series X" showcase, man... better not.
This whole "you can play you game on old–new–and future console" thing is stopping the progress od game industry. I get that publishers want to make use of the PS4 and XOne player base which is much bigger then the new one (zero) but this kind of attitude will just slow down all the progress we have seen in previous console generations. For me, the next-gen is yet absolutely indistinguishable from the current-gen… Sad
I just hope for the first party games to save the day, because just higher framerate and resolution will not sell the new system. Sony and Microsoft will surely notice that…
@FraserG Even if I'm pure PS fan I must say Xbox team is rulling campaign of next gen consoles. Sony is too quiet and too foggy about PS5. I think that now it is around month, where Sony has missed a train... the only thing now is just to run, but that train is missed.
Nothing changes my opinion to never buy xbox, but I must admit that right now is MS winning on whole line and Sony's silence is just one BIG confusion.
Only time will show, if it is only silence before storm, OR hidden panick covered by silence. Right now the fuse on Sony's bomb has burned away and instead of explosion we hear only "pfshhh"...
