Xbox Partner Preview Announced

Xbox aren’t slowing down, today sharing details on the next “Xbox Partner Preview” broadcast for March 2024.

According to the folks over at Xbox Wire, this edition will feature a mixture of both new and upcoming games from a variety of publishers, including Nexon, EA, Capcom and more. The show will last for approximately 30 minutes, and feature over a dozen new trailers for titles set to release across Xbox, Windows and of course, Game Pass.

Of course, this is XboxEra, so Jesse, Aarsal and myself will be co-streaming the event live, so feel free to come hang out with us in the chat for all the reveals:

They’ve even provided a handy little Q&A – see below, directly replicated from Xbox Wire, for convenience.

What time does Xbox Partner Preview begin? 

Wednesday, March 6, at 10am Pacific time / 1pm Eastern time / 6pm UK time.

How do I watch?

Xbox Partner Preview will be available through a variety of outlets, and in over 40 languages. It will also be viewable with American Sign Language, British Sign Language, and English Audio Descriptions:

• YouTube.com/Xbox
• Regional Xbox channels around the world
• Twitch.tv/Xbox
• Twitch.tv/XboxASL

Please note the YouTube streams will be in 4K at 60fps, while all other channels will be 1080p / 60fps.

Is the event available in languages other than English?

We will be providing subtitle support in the following languages: Arabic (MSA), Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional – Hong Kong & Taiwan), Czech, Danish, Dutch, Farsi, Filipino, Finnish, French (EU & Canadian), German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian & EU), Russian, Slovak, Spanish (Castilian & Mexican), Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. For the first time we’ll also be supporting Bengali, Māori, Punjabi (Gurmukhi), Swahili, Tamil, Urdu and Zulu in hopes of gauging interest for future broadcasts.

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.

Is the show going to be Accessible to those with low/no hearing or low/no vision? 

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.
