Logitech Showcases New Xbox 360 Remote

Logitech today announced a remote control accessory for Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox 360 video gaming system. Part of the computer accessory company’s line of advanced Harmony remote controls, the new Harmony Advanced Universal Remote Control for Xbox 360 will be available later this month for $129.99.

The Harmony Advanced Universal Remote Control for Xbox 360, said Logitech, grants users complete remote control of their next generation gaming system as well as other components in their entertainment system. Special console-specific buttons on the Harmony remote are designed to help navigate the Xbox 360 interface. The remote´s white finish, chrome accents, green backlighting and slim design are designed to complement the Xbox 360’s curves.

Other features of the new Harmony Xbox 360 remote include online setup for matching the remote to various home electronics components, control of up to 12 individual devices, a LCD display to view what actions are being selected and connection to a computer via USB.

“Our newest Harmony remote simply controls everything — from the Xbox 360 to any other components in a home-entertainment system,” said Bryan McLeod, vice president of Logitech´s remote control products, in a statement. “The Harmony remote solves the living-room clutter problem of excessive remotes and makes it easy for any family member to set up the entertainment system for playing games, listening to music, or watching movies or television — all by pressing a single button.”

E3 was canceled this year, but the summer of games continues thanks to Xbox. It delivered a ton of updates and announcements during its Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct today. Fans had been waiting for news on a lot of previously announced titles, and the company delivered with a first look at the Fable reboot, a release date for the Forza Motorsport reboot, the first Avowed gameplay trailer, and a release window for the long-gestating Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2. Xbox Game Studios subsidiaries Compulsion Games and InXile Entertainment also showed off what they've been up to, with official announcements for South of Midnight and Clockwork Revolution, respectively.

Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct: how to watch and what to expect
xbox june showcases announced starfield direct hero image 37faabd65d647fb77b68

The Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct Double Feature are shaping up to be the most important video game showcases to watch this month. Across these two back-to-back showcases today, Microsoft will give us a comprehensive look at what's coming to PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox Game Pass from its first-party studios and then finally give us the deep dive into Starfield that we've been waiting for since it was announced in 2018.
Because Sony has already held its PlayStation Showcase and Nintendo hasn't revealed any plans for a Nintendo Direct this month, it looks like this will be the big first-party showcase of June. With the presentation happening later today, we're laying out how you can watch the Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct Double Feature and explaining what you can expect from it. 
When is the Xbox Games Showcase

The Xbox Games Showcase will begin at 10 a.m. PT today, June 11. Microsoft has not said how long the Xbox Games Showcase will be this year, but previous presentations have typically been between an hour and an hour-and-a-half long. 
When is the Starfield Direct
Microsoft has stated that the Starfield Direct will begin "immediately following the Xbox Games Showcase." Because we don't know how long the Xbox Games Showcase is, though, we don't know exactly when this portion of the livestream will begin. We also don't know quite how long the Starfield Direct will last. To be safe, we recommend you set aside two or three hours to watch the Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct Double Feature. 
How to watch the Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct
Microsoft is promoting and live-streaming this pair of showcases across most of its gaming-focused social media platforms. As such, you can tune into the shows on Xbox's official YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook pages as well as Bethesda's YouTube and Twitch channels. Deaf fans can even experience the show thanks to a version of the show on YouTube with audio descriptions and stream on the XboxASL Twitch page.
