The company today announced the latest edition of its Xbox Partner Preview, which will be happening this Thursday with new looks at games coming from third-party publishers. Several "brand-new reveals" are being teased as well.
The November 2025 Xbox Partner Preview will kick off on Thursday, November 20, at 10am PT / 1pm ET. It will be broadcast across Microsoft"s Xbox YouTube channel in 4K at 60FPS. Places like Twitch, TikTok, and other regional channels will be streaming the show in 1080p at 60FPS instead. Independent streams will also be held with English Audio Descriptions and American Sign Language.
As for what players can expect to see at the show. Microsoft revealed that IO Interactive, Tencent, and THQ Nordic will be present with their newest games. This includes the new James Bond title 007 First Light, which recently received an extended gameplay reveal as well. Moreover, the dark fantasy game Tides of Annihilation and the horror adventure Reanimal are confirmed appearances too.
While not confirmed yet, Silent Hill 2 may be a part of the announcements for Xbox too, judging by recent leaks.
"Xbox Partner Preview is all about bringing you news from our partners across the globe; be it release date announcements, fresh new gameplay from upcoming titles, and world premieres of unannounced new games," said Microsoft in the show announcement blog post today. "We’re also excited to reveal that Jennifer English, who portrays Tides of Annihilation protagonist Gwendolyn, is our voiceover artist for the show."
