By our rough count, we’ve had several dozen video game showcases this year already, and it’s not even April! Next up on the block is Microsoft, as a new Xbox livestream is kicking off today. While January’s Developer Direct was focused primarily on upcoming games from Microsoft’s first-party studios, today’s Xbox Partner Preview is giving several other studios a chance to shine. If you’re keen to see what they’ve been cooking up, here’s when and how you can watch.

What to expect from the Xbox Partner Preview
As usual, you can expect a mix of updates for previously announced games and a few “brand-new reveals” today. Sega, GSC Game World, and Owlcat Games have all been confirmed for the showcase, and we’ll also find out which games will be coming to Xbox Game Pass as day-one releases through the subscription service.
Games like Stranger Than Heaven, Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn will be shown off, so if you’re a fan of the studios behind them, there’s a lot to look forward to. This is the fifth Xbox Partner Preview to date, and so far, these livestreams have hit a nice balance between surprise reveals and updates for existing games.
