In what Microsoft is calling a no-fluff all-games broadcast, the Xbox Partner Preview will come to you this Thursday, October 17th. With previews from partners such as Remedy Entertainment, Sega, 505 games, and many more, you can expect constant trailers for about 25 minutes.
You’ll first see the gameplay of the new Alan Wake II expansion pack Lake House, an action-packed trailer for Like A Dragon, Pirate Yakuzza in Hawaii, and other great titles coming to Xbox Consoles, Windows PCs, and Game Pass. You’ll get game reveals, release dates, and perhaps some unexpected announcements. You’ll also see exclusive behind-the-scenes stories about some of the titles shown.
The event will broadcast digitally across Xbox channels on YouTube and Twitch starting at 10 AM Pacific/1PM Eastern, Thursday October 17th.
