As someone who has been following the gaming industry for decades and has witnessed numerous Xbox events, I am thrilled about the upcoming Xbox Partner Preview showcase on October 17, 2024! The lineup of games being teased, including Alan Wake II’s expansion, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and the intriguing soulslike Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, has me genuinely excited.
Indeed, the whispers you’ve heard are accurate! Microsoft has scheduled an exciting Partner Preview event for October 17, 2024, starting at 1PM Eastern Time or 6PM Greenwich Mean Time.
Last month, I was thrilled to attend Microsoft’s latest Xbox Partner Preview event – if we exclude the Xbox Showcase in June that primarily showcased third-party games. What sets these Partner Previews apart is that they exclusively feature content from third-parties, offering us a sneak peek into the future of the Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC gaming landscape.
In March, Microsoft unveiled games such as Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, Frostpunk 2, The Alters, Persona 3 Reload DLC, and The First Berserker, giving you a sense of what to anticipate from this event. To further build your excitement, Microsoft also teased what they have planned for their October event.
Upcoming trailers for Alan Wake II DLC titled “The Lake House” along with Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii are on the horizon. Additionally, we’ll see a boss battle trailer for the game Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, which has a dark Chinese soulslike theme. Plus, there will be several new additions to Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft also hinted at “multiple world premieres.
Alan Wake 2, hailing from the creators of Max Payne and Control (Remedy Entertainment), is a blend of survival-horror and investigative narrative adventure with an additional focus on story development post-release through DLCs, such as the latest addition, The Lake House.
It’s quite likely that Microsoft could give us a sneak peek of new features coming to the Xbox platform during this event. As Xbox President Sarah Bond has announced, Xbox Cloud Gaming will soon support “bring your own game” and buy-to-own options for select Xbox games, starting in November. However, it remains unclear which specific games will be available initially, as it seems that not the entire library of Xbox games will be accessible right away.
So, how can I watch the Xbox Partner Preview October 2024 event?
On Thursday, October 17, 2024, at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM BST, the Xbox Partner Preview (October 2024) event will commence simultaneously on various streaming platforms operated by Xbox. This includes YouTube.com/Xbox, Twitch.tv/Xbox, and all regional Xbox channels on YouTube. Additionally, Microsoft is broadcasting the event on LinkedIn for those who prefer to watch it there, at LinkedIn.com/showcase/Xbox.
To enhance accessibility, Microsoft will provide an American Sign Language stream on Twitch.tv/XboxASL, while a British Sign Language version will be available on YouTube.com/XboxOn. Furthermore, subtitles in the following languages will be made available: Arabic (Modern Standard), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Czech, French, Canadian French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Castilian Spanish, Mexican Spanish, and Turkish.
If you miss the live stream, we’ll compile all the Xbox and Windows PC trailers and details into an article on Windows Central, so keep an eye out for it!
It’s possible that Microsoft is planning to reveal some significant Xbox game announcements at The Game Awards on December 12, 2024. They have an array of upcoming Xbox games coming soon from their own studios, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Avowed, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, along with a major timed exclusive, Stalker 2.
