Q&A​

What time does Xbox Partner Preview begin? Wednesday, October 25, at 10am Pacific time / 1pm Eastern time / 6pm UK time.

How do I watch? Xbox Partner Preview will be available to be seen through a variety of outlets, and in over 30 languages, and American Sign Language, British Sign Language, and English Audio Descriptions here:

• YouTube.com/Xbox
• Regional Xbox channels around the world
• Twitch.tv/Xbox
• Twitch.tv/XboxASL

Please note the YouTube streams will be in 4K at 60fps, while all other channels will be 1080p / 60fps.

Is the event available in languages other than English? We will be providing subtitle support in the following languages: Albanian, Arabic, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, Canadian French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Maltese, Moldovan, Montenegrin, Norwegian, Persian (Farsi), Polish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Castilian Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese.

Aside from going directly to a regional Xbox channel, you can find support for all languages, as well as American Sign Language (ASL) and Audio Descriptions (AD), at YouTube.com/Xbox. ASL and AD video will be listed separately, but just click the gear icon in the lower righthand corner of our primary stream to choose the language of your choice. Oftentimes YouTube will default to a random language when you join the stream so you may also want to switch over to English if needed.

No talking heads, just as series of trailers after one another.

Sounds like it's just about upcoming or already announced things, more closer to a PS State of Play. Maybe a new game or two?

Maybe they announce Infinite Wealth is also coming to game pass day 1 here

 

[Fess]

Sounds minor but I’ll still watch it

Sounds like a good time.

 

[acm2000]

honestly surprised the ark remake in ue5 is still a thing, surely its gonna run like utter dog shit

It’s wednesday though so let’s expect something Sega related!

Ark 2 gameplay is interesting. But look like a promotional event about upcoming announced games. AW 2 seen to be only the oficial launch trailer and not new gameplay (Sony have AW 2 marketing). Other games? We will see It but doesn't look like where some "bombshell" is going to be displayed or announced.

PS. Also 20 min?

Article says "more than 20", like 22, 25 mins or so including intro/outro.

I don’t see why it would? Like a Dragon 7 didn’t come out on Game Pass at release, it’s pretty clear that Sega isn’t doing that with new mainline titles

 

[adamsapple]

I wouldn't have expected Like a Dragon: Man Who Erased his Name to be on GP either, a few weeks ago.

Just a guess on my part, since they very specifically call out that game by name here, especially with another one coming out much sooner.

maybe, we’ll see, I think Sega is fine with putting spin-offs & remakes on day 1 though

I feel like if Infinite Wealth was coming to GP day 1 they would have said so before they started allowing pre-orders because I could see that causing some minor issues otherwise, has a game ever been announced as coming to Game Pass day 1 after you’ve already been able to pre-order it on the Xbox store?

 

[Iced Arcade]

So State of play

I wish we could get back e3 of the days of old

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

 

[adamsapple]

The Game Awards also just a month~ away with even more new announcements.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Interesting. I guess that is their new format? Developer Direct for the first party studios and Partner Preview for third parties? And that's without Blizzcon, Minecon, Quakecon and Xbox Showcase, TGS, Gamescon, and Xbox Showcase Extended

 

[Black_Stride]

Its not Ark 2.
Its the Ark: Remake

Still one of the weirder remakes to be announced.
Even the rumored TLoU2 Remake somehow makes more sense.

 

[graywolf323]

I mean hopefully they don’t skip it again like they did last year

Hellblade 2 release date trailer, believe.jpg!

 

[Bridges]

has a game ever been announced as coming to Game Pass day 1 after you’ve already been able to pre-order it on the Xbox store?

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Outriders was announced for Game Pass not very long before it actually came out

 

[adamsapple]

Oh another good shout, maybe this is where they announce the release date for the Xbox version of Baldur's Gate 3 (and it coming to game pass )

 

[DenchDeckard]

Will give it a watch. Not expecting much.

 

[L*][*N*K]

FFXVI, otherwise just don’t bother Phil.

 

[Represent.]

20 mins. No hosts.

So literally an Xbox State of Play

 

[DenchDeckard]

FFXVI, otherwise just don’t bother Phil.

 

[Darsxx82]

Its not Ark 2.
Its the Ark: Remake

No Vin Diesel ?

I forgot they announced a remake...

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

I have come to the conclusion that this was the rumored hidden showcase

Though this summer we had nothing but Xbox showcases - Playstation "for everybody" Showcase, Xbox E3 Showcase, Xbox Showcase Extended, Xbox CMA Showcase, Xbox FTC Showcase, Xbox Gamescom, Xbox Tokyo Game Show....

Now we will have Blizzcon next month, The Game Awards (if Xbox is coming there today) and maybe in the beginning of the next year we will get Xbox Developer Direct.

 

[Danjin44]

We might see more info on Metaphor: ReFantazio since Microsoft has marketing rights for it.

 

[mejin]

State of the box
nice

Next year we'll have the Microsoft Activision Blizzard Bethesda Zenimax King Stream

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

We will have another acquisition and fireworks again

 

[Black_Stride]

FFXVI, otherwise just don’t bother Phil.

 

[L*][*N*K]

I know.

 

[Jboemios]

Next year we'll have the Microsoft Activision Blizzard Bethesda Zenimax King Stream

With so many Studios they could easily do two E3 size shows in the year. Maybe revive the XO for the end/begining of the year

 

[coffinbirth]

You had me at Tina Amini.

 

[adamsapple]

"Latest information". What else is left to reveal at this point. I have a sneaking suspicion that this game's also coming to game pass.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

With so many Studios they could easily do two E3 size shows in the year. Maybe revive the XO for the end/begining of the year

Why would anybody needs XO at this point? Some Partner Preview + next month there will be Blizzcon. Then TGA. They do more developer Directs, and I wonder if they will do a developer direct every year in the beginning of the year to showcase games releasing in the upcoming year.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

People can preview Xbox's partner? What a cuck.

 

[L*][*N*K]

They have got to have The Weeknd open that XO show though, every year, regardless of how much he costs

off t so that what tina is doing after ign cool but sad she was a good game reporter.

 

[Jboemios]

Because those are cooler and bigger. They can sitll do the others.

maybe, we’ll see, I think Sega is fine with putting spin-offs & remakes on day 1 though

I feel like if Infinite Wealth was coming to GP day 1 they would have said so before they started allowing pre-orders because I could see that causing some minor issues otherwise, has a game ever been announced as coming to Game Pass day 1 after you’ve already been able to pre-order it on the Xbox store?

Actually (and in a way, sadly), they probably would wait until closer to release to announce Day 1 Game Pass, precisely to hope those who already preordered don't feel bothered to "go through the effort" of cancelling their preorders, and just buy the game since it'd be more convenient for them at that point.

I remember when another, smaller game suddenly got a Day 1 Game Pass deal announced and the dev was practically begging people to not cancel their preorders since it "supported" them. You know, because Microsoft's check wasn't enough support, apparently.

(Oh now I remember that game, it was Outriders! )

Also, this is Sega. They didn't have any issue giving Microsoft marketing rights to Person and Yakuza games outside of Japan, there's no telling if they have worked out a deal for the new Yakuza game to get a Day 1 drop into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (as an example) this far out.

Hellblade 2 release date trailer, believe.jpg!

Hopefully with some actual gameplay. I'm tired of the slow walking segments and scripted linear spear-chucking sequences; they need to show how this is such a big step up from the first game gameplay-wise (they haven't done so yet).

 

[adamsapple]

Reminder: This is happening approx 4~ hours from this post (3hr 49m to be specific).

30 minutes of game trailers, footage for third party games etc going by the official word.

Fingers crossed for a surprise game pass announcement or two.

 

[AJUMP23]

Watch them announce their intent to buy SONY.

Alan Wake 2 please.

 

[Topher]

What them announce their intent to buy SONY.

Want Sony to respond the same as Nintendo....

 

[adamsapple]

Alan Wake 2 please.

Way too late for that now, I think, it releases 1 day after the stream.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Perfect timing!

 

[splattered]

GTA VI Gamepass day 1. I never play these games anymore but still buy them for some reason. used to think they were dumb fun just running around doing crazy shit but there's so many games to play now and little time as I get older.
