The next Xbox Partner Preview showcase event will be broadcast this week, Microsoft has confirmed.
Tune in on Thursday, November 20 at 10am Pacific, 1pm Eastern, or 6pm UK time for another set of new announcements and trailers from Xbox partners, plus some additional Xbox Game Pass confirmations.
Games shown during the event will include the highly-anticipated James Bond game 007 First Light from Hitman developer IO Interactive, plus Arthurian fantasy adventure Tides of Annihilation. Reanimal, the new horror game from Light Nightmares creator Tarsier Studios, will also be shown off in new detail.
As ever, it’s unlikely we’ll hear any detail on Xbox’s own first-party projects during the show, such as Halo, Fable or Forza: Motorsport 6 — so set your expectations accordingly.
It’s been just over a year since Xbox’s last Partner Preview event in October 2024, which featured Alan Wake 2 DLC The Lake House, Cronos: The New Dawn, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and more.
Since then, we’ve seen an Xbox Developer Direct event in January 2025 which dropped new details of Ninja Gaiden 5, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Doom: The Dark Ages and South of Midnight, and this summer’s main Xbox Games Showcase which centered on The Outer Worlds 2, alongside a slew of other titles.
What else do you hope to see more of this week?
