Xbox Partner Preview Livestream Set for March 26, Featuring Third-Party Games
Xbox's Partner Preview livestream airs tomorrow at 10 a.m. PT, with an in-depth look at Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's Stranger Than Heaven headlining a show that also promises world premieres and Game Pass news.
Tomorrow's Xbox Partner Preview is the kind of show that rewards watching live. The broadcast, which focuses on upcoming games from third-party partners, returns Thursday, March 26, and will include news from SEGA, GSC Game World, and Owlcat Games, plus brand-new reveals, world premieres, and Xbox Game Pass announcements.
The event kicks off at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. GMT and will stream live on YouTube and Twitch. It is also a notable milestone beyond the games themselves: this is the first player-focused Xbox event in a post-Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond era.
The marquee segment is the deep dive into Stranger Than Heaven. Stranger Than Heaven, formerly known as Project Century, is an upcoming title from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the team behind the Yakuza series. First unveiled at The Game Awards in December 2024, the initial reveal offered a glimpse of its setting: Japan in the year 1915, a period of significant cultural and industrial change. After months of near silence, Xbox Wire confirmed fans will get an in-depth look at the project, plus new looks at The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, an action-RPG set in the world of James S.A. Corey's legendary series.
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is developed by Owlcat Games and has already generated buzz because of its connection to The Expanse universe. Rounding out the confirmed slate, Xbox is also promising an update on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl from GSC Game World, alongside "brand-new reveals, world premieres, and Xbox Game Pass announcements."
Following the Partner Preview, Microsoft says there will be "even more behind-the-scenes stories and deep dives" about some of the games featured in the show via Xbox Wire. For viewers who want the sharpest picture of every trailer frame, the YouTube stream is the recommended option, offering 4K/60fps playback with multi-language subtitle support.
The show airs Thursday at 10 a.m. PT on Xbox's official YouTube and Twitch channels, with three confirmed titles already on the docket and an unknown number of unannounced games waiting in the wings.
