What was announced during the Xbox Partner Preview event?
Here’s where you’ll find a chronological list of all the games and projects revealed during the Xbox Partner Preview event in Oct. 2024, which I’ll be updating during and after the show with more information.
Alan Wake II “The Lake House” DLC
One thing we know we’ll see at the Xbox Partner Preview event is a new trailer for “The Lake House” DLC expansion coming to Alan Wake II. This DLC is supposedly the scariest the franchise has ever been, so a lot of horror fans are unsurprisingly excited to see what it entails. We won’t have to wait long, either, as “The Lake House” expansion releases exclusively for Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition owners on Oct. 22, 2024 for Xbox, Windows PC, and PlayStation.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
The Like a Dragon franchise, which succeeds the legendary Yakuza JRPG series, is getting a new entry featuring fan-favorite Goro Majima becoming a… Pirate in Hawaii? I won’t pretend to know much about Like a Dragon or Yakuza, but I do know that Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will be getting a new trailer during the Xbox Partner Preview ahead of its impending release on Feb. 25, 2025 for Xbox, Windows PC, and PlayStation.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
The third game that Xbox confirmed for its Partner Preview show is Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, a dark and stylistic action game heading to Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and Xbox Game Pass at some point in 2025. It’s no surprise to see this game here, since it was announced during the Xbox Games Showcase 2024.
Looking ahead to the future of Xbox
The Xbox Partner Preview hasn’t concluded yet, so I can’t comment on the quality or excitement of the event. That being said, it’s always interesting to get a sneak peek into the future of the Xbox gaming ecosystem, with some of the best upcoming Xbox games always stealing headlines at these shows, and Xbox already shared some of what we can expect when the Xbox Partner Preview event was announced.
Whether any of these games will actually secure a coveted position on our list of the best Xbox games remains to be seen, but we’ll be keeping an eye on this lineup moving forward. The games shown off during the Xbox Partner Preview will be heading to platforms and devices like Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Windows PC, Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, and even Xbox Cloud Gaming. You can keep an eye on our list of all the upcoming Xbox Game Pass additions to see when you can expect some of these games to become available on the popular gaming subscription.
