Xbox has announced that it will hold a new Partner Preview showcase on March 26. It will feature new looks at Stranger Than Heaven, Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn.
The event will take place on Xbox’s YouTube and Twitch accounts at 10 AM PDT/1 PM EDT/5 PM GMT. Alongside in-depth looks at Stranger Than Heaven, a new update for Stalker 2, and a new glimpse at The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, the event will also feature “first looks and announcements from more great games coming to Xbox consoles, Xbox on PC, and Game Pass.”
Last month, former Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer retired and Xbox President Sarah Bond resigned from Xbox. In their place, Asha Sharma took the reins as Microsoft Gaming CEO and Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty took over as Chief Content Officer of Microsoft Gaming.
Recently, during the Xbox Developer Summit keynote address at GDC 2026, Microsoft Gaming revealed that it plans to ship alpha version development kits of the next-generation Xbox console, codenamed Project Helix, in 2027. Xbox is also planning on “rolling out new ways to play some of the most iconic games from our past” to celebrate the brand’s 25th anniversary in 2026.
Further, Xbox mode will be releasing on Windows 11 for desktop PCs and handhelds in April in select markets. Windows 11’s Xbox mode previously made its debut on ROG Xbox Ally handheld gaming devices. The console will seemingly be able to play both Xbox and PC games. Lastly, during the company’s 25th anniversary, Xbox will release games such as Forza Horizon 6, Fable, Halo: Campaign Evolved, and Gears of War: E-Day for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5.
