Xbox Partner Preview Show Set for March 26
The year 2024 has already seen a multitude of gaming presentations and showcases, perhaps even an abundance. It has felt as though nearly every week brought some form of digital showcase, and if you expected this week to break that trend, think again.
Approximately two months after January's Developer_Direct, Microsoft and Xbox are gearing up to host a Partner Preview show on March 26. This event will spotlight several upcoming games from third-party studios and developers.
The show is scheduled for 17:00 GMT / 18:00 CET. While extensive details on all featured titles remain under wraps, an official announcement offered a few enticing teasers.
Attendees of the Xbox Partner Preview can anticipate a deep dive into Ryu Ga Gotoku's new project, "Stranger Than Heaven," an update on "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl," and fresh looks at "The Expanse: Osiris Reborn"—an action RPG set in the universe of James S.A. Corey's legendary series. Furthermore, the event promises first looks and announcements for additional major titles destined for Xbox consoles, PC, and Xbox Game Pass.
The exact duration of the broadcast has not been disclosed. However, Xbox has confirmed that viewers will once again have access to 4K/1080p viewing options, a variety of localized streams, and alternative broadcasts catering to individuals with hearing or visual impairments.
