Microsoft has announced the first Xbox Partner Preview 2024 for later this week. This livestreamed event will feature coverage on games coming to Xbox, Windows, and Game Pass from several publishers and feature titles including Tales of Kenzera: Zau, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and more.
The event will be livestreamed on Xbox’s official channels on Wednesday, March 6 at 10am PST/1pm EST/2am HKT and will run for 30 minutes. According to Xbox, the event will showcase “a mix of new and upcoming games for you from publishers like Capcom, Nexon, EA, and others with more than a dozen new trailers over the course of a 30-minute broadcast.”
In particular, we can expect to see a combat and traversal overview from Tales of Kenzera: Zau, new gameplay from Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and a closer look at The First Berserker: Khazan. Seeing as how there are over a dozen trailers confirmed for the event, we’ll likely get a small surprise or two as well.
To answer any questions you might have about the event, we’ve got the official Q&A from the Xbox Wire post below:

- Aside from going directly to a regional Xbox channel, you can find support for all languages, at YouTube.com/Xbox. ASL and AD video will be listed separately, but just click the gear icon in the lower righthand corner of our primary stream to choose the language of your choice. Oftentimes YouTube will default to a random language when you join the stream so you may also want to switch over to English if needed.

- There will be a version of the show with Audio Descriptions (AD) in English on the Xbox YouTube channel, and American Sign Language (ASL) on Xbox’s YouTube channel and the /XboxASL Twitch channel. The /XboxOn YouTube channel will also carry a British Sign Language (BSL) feed.
- I’m not going to be able to watch, where can I find out what was announced?
- As announcements roll out during the broadcast, the Xbox Wire team will be publishing detailed blog posts containing key announcements right here on Xbox Wire (including localized versions in Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, LATAM Spanish, and Japanese). A full show recap will go live immediately following the end of Xbox Partner Preview.
As with previous Partner Previews, Xbox encourages co-streaming efforts and have done their best to ensure that nothing on their end will affect content creators’ ability to watch along to the event in their own streams.
The last Xbox Partner Preview aired back in October of last year and gave us our first in-engine look at Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater as well as an Alan Wake 2 launch trailer and a handful of other exciting reveals. We look forward to seeing what’s to come this time around and will be sure to update our readers as soon as we get looks at the new trailers.
Once again, the Xbox Partner Preview goes live on March 6 at 10am PST/1pm EST/2am HKT.
