Xbox is back with another Partner Preview this week, giving third-party studios the spotlight for a new round of reveals and updates.
This latest showcase will feature games from partners including Sega, GSC Game World, and Owlcat Games, along with brand-new reveals, world premieres, and Xbox Game Pass announcements. Xbox has also confirmed fresh looks at Stranger Than Heaven, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn.
Here’s everything you need to know about the March 2026 Xbox Partner Preview, including when it starts and where to watch it live.
What time is the Xbox Partner Preview?
The Xbox Partner Preview will air on Thursday, March 26, at 10 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. CT / 1 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. UK. An exact runtime for the event has not been announced.
Where to watch the Xbox Partner Preview
Fans can watch the Xbox Partner Preview live on Xbox’s official YouTube and Twitch channels. Xbox says the show will also be available on the XboxASL Twitch channel and on regional Xbox channels around the world.
For those looking to experience the event in the highest possible quality, the main YouTube stream will be available in 4K at 60fps, while the other broadcast options will stream at 1080p/60fps.
What to expect from the Xbox Partner Preview

This Partner Preview is focused on upcoming games from Xbox’s third-party partners rather than first-party Xbox Game Studios titles. Xbox has already confirmed an in-depth look at Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s new project, Stranger Than Heaven, plus an update on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl and a new look at The Expanse: Osiris Reborn.
Beyond that, Xbox says viewers can expect first looks, new announcements, world premieres, and Game Pass news tied to more games coming to Xbox consoles and Xbox on PC. Although the company recently revealed its next-gen console, codenamed “Project Helix,” it is unlikely to make an appearance during the showcase.
Can you watch the Xbox Partner Preview after it airs?
If you miss the live broadcast, never fear; Xbox has confirmed that a full recap will be published immediately after the show. While Xbox has not explicitly confirmed in its announcement that the full broadcast VOD will remain available afterward, previous Partner Previews have historically been made available for viewing after their respective livestreams.
Accessibility and language options

The stream will include live subtitle support on YouTube in a wide range of languages, including: Afrikaans, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Filipino, French, Canadian French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Māori, Norwegian, Persian (Farsi), Polish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Castilian Spanish, Mexican Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese.
Xbox also confirmed versions with audio descriptions in English, ASL support, and a BSL version on the Xbox On YouTube Channel.
