Microsoft has announced an upcoming Xbox Partner Preview showcase, set to air this Thursday, November 20, 2025, at 10 a.m. Pacific Time (1 p.m. Eastern Time or 6 p.m. UK time), highlighting exciting developments from third-party partners. The event will be streamed digitally across Xbox’s official YouTube and Twitch channels, with the main YouTube stream available in 4K at 60fps and other platforms in 1080p at 60fps for high-quality viewing. Accessibility features are prioritized, including live subtitles in languages such as Simplified Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Castilian Spanish, and Mexican Spanish, alongside post-show support for over 30 languages on YouTube. Additionally, an Audio Descriptions version in English and American Sign Language interpretation will be available on Xbox’s YouTube and the /XboxASL Twitch channel to ensure inclusivity for all viewers.
The showcase promises a lineup of intriguing reveals and gameplay footage, starting with a first look at content for 007 First Light, the highly anticipated James Bond origin story developed by IO Interactive, offering fans an electrifying glimpse into the espionage action. Viewers can also expect an extended gameplay trailer for Tides of Annihilation, a dark fantasy epic from Eclipse Glow Games and published by THQ Nordic, narrated by actress Jennifer English as the protagonist Gwendolyn, delving deeper into its immersive world of annihilation and survival. Another highlight is a fresh look at Reanimal, a chilling new horror adventure from Tarsier Studios—the creators behind Little Nightmares—building suspense around its nightmarish narrative and innovative gameplay mechanics. Beyond these, the event will feature brand-new game reveals, release date announcements, and additional Game Pass integrations from various partners, emphasizing Microsoft’s commitment to diverse third-party collaborations.
All titles showcased will support Xbox Play Anywhere, enabling seamless cross-play and progress syncing across Xbox consoles, PC, and compatible gaming handhelds with a single purchase, enhancing accessibility for players on the go.
