Welcome to August 19, 2019, and the start of a number of Gamescom 2019 live streams and presentations. In fact, there are four different shows lined up and the event hasn’t officially kicked off as of yet.
Below is a list of those shows, what you can expect as well as when they start and where you can catch them at.
6:00 AM PT / 9:00 AM ET — Nintendo Indie World
The first show of the day, Nintendo’s Indie World will show off a number of Indie titles that will find a home on the Nintendo Switch. Some new, some past favorites and we’re hearing a rumor that another Xbox exclusive will also find its way to the Switch. Oh please let it finally be Ori and the Blind Forest.

8: 00 AM PT / 11:00 AM ET — Inside Xbox Gamescom 2019 Special
This show is loaded. From more Destiny 2: Shadowkeep details, Gears of War 5, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, Battletoads, Wasteland 3, and a number of other games that I haven’t mentioned. That’s not all as Microsoft also teased some hardware announcements as well.
10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET — Google Stadia Connect
The last Google Stadia Connect live stream honestly was a disappointment. Google didn’t really sell the Stadia as far as I was concerned. Sure, we got a price and some game announcements, but that was it. For this Stadia Connect, Google has to do a better job. They need to show off those exclusive games, some actually people playing the Stadia and get people excited for the service. C’mon Google, you an do it.
