Unlike the company’s familiar Xbox Showcase events, which primarily focus on first-party titles coming to PC and Xbox consoles, the Xbox Partner Preview is designed to shine a spotlight on Microsoft’s third-party partners.

One of the most high-profile titles being shown off during the event is Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2. The long-awaited sequel to the psychological horror classic will receive a launch trailer at the Xbox Partner Preview ahead of the game’s release on October 27. Other highlights include new information about the in-game activities included in developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, as well as the first gameplay footage of Ark: Survival Ascended. The show is also slated to reveal information about new titles coming to Xbox Game Pass in the coming months, though Microsoft hasn’t given any indication of what those games may be.
The Xbox Partner Preview begins at 10 a.m. Pacific time on October 25, with Microsoft promising that Xbox Wire will feature live updates for all of the major announcements. Gamers interested in checking out the Xbox Partner Preview for themselves will be able to stream the show live on the official Xbox YouTube and Twitch channels, and on regional Xbox channels worldwide. In an example of Microsoft’s ongoing attempts to increase accessibility on Xbox, the show will be streamed in both American and British Sign Language as well as receiving an Audio Descriptions stream designed for visually impaired players.
