While Sony isn’t set to have a big presence at gamescom 2017, the same can’t be said about their main competitor. Microsoft will be holding a press conference during Europe’s biggest gaming tradeshow, and should have plenty to show considering how light E3 was in terms of first-party reveals. As with any major press conference, there’ll likely be plenty of multiplatform games shown. That means there are plenty of reasons for PlayStation 4 owners to watch. The livestream is set to take place at 3pm EDT (that’s noon PDT, 9pm CEST, and 8pm BST).
Check out the Xbox gamescom press conference 2017 livestream below:
One of the biggest announcements set for the Xbox gamescom press conference will be pre-order details for the Xbox One X. The new console is set to release on November 7 for $499.99, and it’s expected that they’ll start taking pre-orders soon. On top of that, expect to see major Xbox titles like Sea of Thieves, the recently delayed Crackdown 3, the gorgeous looking Forza Motorsport 7, Super Lucky’s Tale, State of Decay 2, and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Just like any Sony press conference, a slew of third-party titles will also likely be shown, which means that non-Xbox owners will have a very good reason to watch.
The Xbox gamescom press conference livestream is set to take place at 3pm EDT (that’s noon PDT, 9pm CEST, and 8pm BST). You can watch on the stream embedded above.
Let us know in the comments what third-party games you’d like to see shown at the Xbox gamescom press conference, and if you’ll be watching later today!

-
Preview
We got to check out the game at E3 2017. Here's what Chandler Wood had to say in his preview:
"From the moment the first Uncharted released, Naughty Dog captured a certain magic that has only ever reignited in other Uncharted games. I’m personally not ready to put my treasure hunting days behind me, and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy looks to be the perfect new Uncharted game in spite of Uncharted 4 being the end of Drake’s journey. Replacing a beloved main character that’s had a place in our hearts for nearly a decade is a monumental task bigger than an Uncharted set piece, but Chloe is more than capable of taking on the lead role in this expansion turned full release while still calling it an Uncharted game."
-

Review
PlayStation LifeStyle awarded the action-adventure title a 9/10 in its review. Here's how reviewer Paulmichael Contreras summed up the experience:
"Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a fun addition to the consistently solid Uncharted franchise. While this entry may be quite a bit shorter than the main numbered games, that doesn’t mean the key components that constitute an Uncharted game aren’t just as present. Indeed, you’ll rarely see a game with this high of production values for only $39.99. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a tight, action-packed adventure in India, and a trip well worth taking."
