As announced a few days ago, Xbox is hosting the third edition of its "Partner Preview" event this week, giving us a closer look at a bunch of third-party games that are either newly-released, or will be coming to Xbox at some point.
In this guide, we've got all the details you need for October 2024's edition of the Xbox Partner Preview showcase, including the date, times, length, games we're expecting to see, and more! Let's get started...
Xbox Partner Preview Showcase: Date & Time
The Xbox Partner Preview event for October 2024 is on Thursday, October 17th at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST.
How Long Is The Xbox Partner Preview Showcase?
It's been officially confirmed that we're looking at a runtime of 25 minutes for this event.
The previous two were around 30 minutes, so there's not much difference here.
What Games Will Be Included In October's Xbox Partner Preview Showcase?
So far, we know that the likes of SEGA, Remedy Entertainment and 505 Games will be showing off their titles at the Xbox Partner Preview event, while specific games that have been mentioned include Alan Wake 2 and Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. It sounds like we might get an Xbox Game Pass surprise or two as well:
"During Xbox Partner Preview, you’ll get a first look at gameplay from Alan Wake 2’s next expansion, The Lake House, an action-packed new trailer for Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, a peek at multiple bosses in dark-fantasy action game Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, multiple world premieres, and other great titles coming to Xbox consoles, Windows PC, and Game Pass."
