On the night of August 23-24, the Future Games Show presentation took place as part of the gamescom 2023 festival. During the two-hour stream, hosts Erika Ishii and Troy Baker showcased trailers and gameplay videos of several upcoming releases. Some of them were just announced, while others are already available for pre-order or can be played in alpha-testing mode. The Future Games Show presentation attracted 174K Peak Viewers, which is slightly fewer compared to last year.
During the Future Games Show, organizers introduced viewers to such titles as RoboCop: Rogue City, Wayfinders, Eternights, Tavern Keeper, Warhaven, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, Ravenswatch, OutRage, and other premieres set to release in 2023-2024. There were both classic PC games and titles specifically designed for virtual reality headsets, such as Hellsweeper and Vertigo 2.

Future Games Show Gamescom 2023 viewership statistics
The duration of the Future Games Show Gamescom 2023 was exactly the same as last year, but the number of viewers has slightly decreased. The Peak Viewers number reached 174.7K, which is 16% fewer compared with the statistics of 2022. The Hours Watched and Average Viewers numbers also decreased by 14.5%.
Overall, the decline in metrics compared to last year cannot be considered critical. It could be due to the absence of some top community casters or even the content of the event itself. It is also important to note that in June, the Future Games Show Summer Showcase 2023 took place, where some of the mentioned games were already announced and showcased. That presentation gathered 226K Peak Viewers, making it the leader among all Future Games Show broadcasts.
