The next Xbox Partner Preview will air on Thursday, November 20, at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK, and it is built to spotlight upcoming releases from third-party partners, including IO Interactive, Tencent, and THQ Nordic.
This is a partner showcase rather than an internal direct, so viewers should expect a mix of release date updates, fresh gameplay, and a few world premieres from outside Xbox Game Studios. Xbox says the broadcast will include an extended gameplay trailer for Tides of Annihilation, a first look at content for 007 First Light, and a fresh glimpse at Reanimal from the creator of Little Nightmares. The company also teases additional reveals and Game Pass announcements during the show.
All titles featured in the Partner Preview are Xbox Play Anywhere, which means a single purchase covers console, PC, and supported handhelds when those platforms are supported. Jennifer English, who voices Gwendolyn in Tides of Annihilation, is credited as the voiceover artist for the broadcast. Xbox Wire will follow up with deeper developer posts for select games after the show.
Watchers can tune in through the Xbox channels on YouTube and Twitch, and there will be the XboxASL stream on Twitch as well. The Xbox YouTube stream will run in 4K at 60fps. Other channels will be 1080p at 60fps. Xbox also lists TikTok and regional channels as additional distribution points. Live subtitle support will be available in more than 10 languages, including Simplified Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Castilian Spanish, and Mexican Spanish. An audio-described English version and ASL support will be available on Xbox’s YouTube channels.
For creators planning co-streams or post-show breakdowns, Xbox asks that VODs avoid copyrighted music to reduce the risk of automated takedowns and to follow each platform’s terms of service. The partner preview page notes that bot or automated disruptions are outside Xbox’s control and could affect co-streams.
Xbox’s Game Pass slate has already been busy this month and the Partner Preview could tie into the recent Game Pass rollouts or new additions. For context on what Microsoft has been adding to Game Pass recently, see the announcement for the first 11 Game Pass titles for November. Expect short, punchy reveals rather than a single deep showcase. The broadcast is heavily partner-focused, so fans of third-party franchises will want to watch for release windows and gameplay specifics that often do not appear in platform-wide events.
