Microsoft announces the Xbox Partner Showcase that will air this week

Published:

Microsoft has confirmed that the next Xbox Partner Showcase event will air this week.

Tune in on Thursday, November 20 at 10am Pacific, 1pm ET or 6pm UK for another set of recent announcements and trailers from Xbox partners, as well as some additional Xbox Game Pass confirmations.

Games showcased at the event will include the highly anticipated James Bond 007 game First Light from Hitman creator IO Interactive and the Arthurian fantasy adventure game Tides of Annihilation. Reanimal, the recent horror game from Light Nightmares creator Tarsier Studios, will also be unveiled in recent details.

As always, it’s unlikely we’ll hear any details about first-party Xbox projects like Halo, Fable, or Forza: Motorsport 6 during the show – so set your expectations accordingly.

It’s been just over a year since the last Xbox Partner Preview event in October 2024, which showcased expansions Alan Wake 2: The Lake House, Cronos: The New Dawn, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and more.

Since then, we hosted an Xbox Developer Direct event in January 2025, where we learned recent details about Ninja Gaiden 5, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Doom: The Dark Ages, and South of Midnight, as well as this year’s main Xbox Games Showcase event, which focused on The Outer Worlds 2 and many other titles.

What else do you hope to see this week?
