Microsoft has announced a new Xbox Partner Preview will take place this week on Thursday, March 26. The showcase will focus on third-party games, and is expected to last around 30 minutes.
Microsoft has already teased a couple of games that will headline the show, including Ryu Ga Gotoku’s upcoming Stranger Than Heaven, an update for Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and a look at The Expanse: Osiris Reborn.
Microsoft is also teasing brand-new reveals, world premieres, and Xbox Game Pass announcements, so it sounds like it will be well worth tuning in.
Will we hear anything more about Xbox Project Helix? Probably not, but Microsoft hasn’t specifically ruled it out in its announcement post.
The Xbox Partner Preview showcase takes place on March 26 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET across Xbox’s channels on YouTube and Twitch. If you watch it on YouTube, you can enjoy a 4K/60fps stream, while it’ll be 1080p/60fps elsewhere.
Microsoft recently announced a big Xbox update is coming that improves the player experience in several ways, and some lucky gamers can save up to 50% off on an Xbox Series X thanks to some exclusive “Just for you” offers.
