The new Xbox Partner Preview livestream is about to kick off, and like the previous showcases, the spotlight is on third-party studios. Following the Xbox Developer Direct in January that revealed more details on Fable, Kiln, and Forza Horizon 6, today’s event looks like it’ll be a sizzle reel of new trailers and world premieres from several studios. We already know that Sega, GSC Game World, and Owlcat Games will be involved today, and Microsoft says you can also expect updates on titles that will be coming to Xbox Game Pass.
We’ll be covering the broadcast live, so if you want the latest announcements, keep refreshing this page for updates. Stranger Than Heaven, Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn are already confirmed for the showcase, and there are usually a few surprise reveals too.
Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish
Kicking off the Xbox Partner Preview was Hunter: The Reckong – Deathwish, a new first-person action game set in the World of Darkness. It’s headed to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud in Summer 2027, and it follows a team of hunters on a mission to take down a dangerous vampire posing as a law enforcement officer.
Wuthering Waves
In case you haven’t had your fill of anime-inspired free-to-play games like Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero, you can also look forward to Wuthering Waves on Xbox Series X|S in July 2026. While the title might make it sound like an adaptation of a Jane Austen novel, it’s actually an open-world action-RPG where you work to recover your past memories.
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn
Brand-new gameplay for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn dropped during the showcase, showing off more of the third-person action-RPG. We also got news that a beta for the game will launch on April 22, and a release date window of Spring 2027. Another Xbox Play Anywhere title for PC and console, The Expanse: Osiris Reborn will also have a day-one Xbox Game Pass launch.
Grave Seasons
Launching on August 14 for PC and console as an Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere title, Grave Seasons is a farming sim with a dark twist. Developer Perfect Garbage also announced that a demo for the game is on the way.
Serious Sam: Shatterverse
And now for some serious news–Serious Sam news, that is! A brand-new Serious Sam game was unveiled, and it features five Sams from across the Shatterverse. Each member of the team has a unique ability and an arsenal of weapons to draw from in their quest to take down the series’ god-like antagonist, Mental. Serious Sam: Shatterverse is out later this year for PC and console.
