Microsoft is back with a new Xbox showcase this month, shining a spotlight on games from third-party studios and publishers. The Xbox Partner Preview will feature a new look at games like Capcom’s Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, action-RPG The First Berserker: Khazan from Nexon, and more in a 30-minute broadcast.
This will be a focused livestream, with new game reveals, release date announcements, and fresh gameplay for upcoming titles showcased. As usual, GameSpot will be covering the event and you can read up on the latest reveals, or refresh this page for a brief update on all the games coming to Xbox consoles and PC, and which of these games will be popping up on Game Pass.
Focused livestreams like this have been surprisingly plentiful in 2024, as Nintendo recently hosted a new Direct episode focused on third-party games and a Pokemon Presents event, while Sony’s January State of Play was headlined by Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, and Death Stranding 2: On The Beach.
An Xbox Developer Direct was also held at the start of the year and provided new looks at upcoming games like Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Avowed, Visions of Mana, and Ara: History Untold. Not too long ago, a dedicated Xbox podcast also confirmed the company’s plan to bring four of its first-party games to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles.
