How to watch the Xbox Partner Preview (October)
We hope to host the stream right here on T3 closer the time.
Alternatively, you will be able to watch it on Xbox's channels on YouTube, Twitch, and LinkedIn.
What to expect
The Xbox Partner Preview will be dedicated to games from third-party studios and developers.
There will be new game reveals, we've been told, plus release date announcements and new gameplay of games coming to Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Windows. We expect more than 12 trailers to be shown in total.
The Xbox Wire blog has confirmed some of the titles to be shown already. It'll include gameplay from the first Alan Wake 2 expansion, and new trailers for Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.
It is highly unlikely that there will be any mention of any new hardware, although new Xbox Series X models have recently launched. There's a new, all-white Xbox Series X Digital Edition available to buy now, for example, which T3 is currently testing for a full review to be posted in the next few days.
