Xbox will hold a new Direct style livestream this coming Thursday. Called the Xbox Partner Preview, the showcase will spotlight a range of games coming to the Xbox, PC, and Game Pass platforms across the remainder of the year and into 2024 from third-party publishers and studios. On the docket: Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man That Erased His Name, Alan Wake 2 and ARK: Survival Ascended.
The show will run for roughly 20 minutes and will feature trailers and gameplay previews from the titles mentioned above, among others.
If you’ll indulge a moment of editorialisation before we get to the start times: Xbox, with peace and love, we’ve gotta do something about these showcase names. Nintendo Direct. PlayStation State of Play. These are dynamic, punchy, exciting names. You have to come up with something snappier than Partner Preview. It sounds like you’re presenting to a boardroom rather than a Twitch chat full of hooting turbo fans. Just my opinion, something for you to think about.
Right. When can you see it?
