Watch the June 2023 Ubisoft Forward here

Here's how to watch Ubisoft's presentation at Summer Game Fest 2023.

Ubisoft
71

Most of Summer Game Fest 2023 has come and gone, but there are still a couple of high-profile events left. After backing out of E3 (prior to the show’s cancelation), Ubisoft announced that it would be doing its own standalone event in June. That’s today, and fans won’t have to wait much longer to learn more about what the teams at Ubisoft are working on. Here’s how you can watch the June 2023 Ubisoft Forward.

Watch the June 2023 Ubisoft Forward

The June 2023 Ubisoft Forward will take place today at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET. It’s being streamed on the Ubisoft YouTube and Twitch channels.

Thanks to the publisher’s appearance at recent showcases, we have a good idea of what to expect from the latest Ubisoft Forward. This includes a gameplay walkthrough of Star Wars Outlaw, a new open-world Star Wars game that was revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase. It follows a new character named Kay Vess and is developed by Massive Entertainment. That studio is also working on Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which we’re also expecting to learn about during the Ubisoft Forward.

Ubisoft has also confirmed that we’ll be seeing more Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown during its presentation. Of course, we’re curious to see if there are any surprise reveals up the publisher’s sleeve.

That’s how you can tune into the June 2023 Ubisoft Forward. You can expect to read about all the news on our Ubisoft topic page. We’ll also continue to cover everything related to Summer Game Fest.

        I haven't been paying attention, is the internet upset and calling Outlaws woke yet? Because it looked pretty damn good to me, I'm excited to see gameplay.

        I always felt like ubisoft needed more open world games where you scout out bases and kill enemies, hopefully there are hundreds of them with little variation to layout or objectives to keep things really interesting

          June 12, 2023 11:44 AM

          yah devs want to push visuals as far as possible which basically means 30fps...

          • reply
            June 12, 2023 11:53 AM

            100% this ^^^^^ , my issue is once you have your game set up to work at 4K 30FPS it is trivial to add:

            - 1440p 60 * if it can handle it *
            - 1080p 60
            - or any other internal render rez you want to hit 60 FPS

            So why are they not adding it, there is no way they are hard coding the FPS. In my opinion there is 100% no reason to have any of these AAA games not have a 60 FPS option since they already support 4K, it is really odd that they don't include it.

              June 12, 2023 12:20 PM

              The only other thing I can think of is CPU limitations.. If they are really pushing things the limiting factor might not be the GPU side.

        Star wars and open world with awesome graphics, it's a pretty easy sell :) , I am day one'ing it.

        My only beef was the main characters voice work it is pretty bad, I am going to have to play with subs and mute it or it will drive me crazy.

      Outlaws looked pretty cool. Never heard of it until today, but I guess I'll follow it's release.

      Surprisingly not a cringe show from Ubisoft outside the intro

          Okay that was unnecessary, but still, there has been more cringe from past ubi shows. This one, letting the main directors talk,even if they aren't the best at exciting people, at least felt down to earth and respecting the development process while still promoting the games.
