On November 18, 2025, Xbox is set to host its Partner Preview event, which will showcase a range of third-party games and services. According to the announcement, the stream is expected to last around 25 to 30 minutes and will feature content from publishers like THQ Nordic, Tencent, and IO Interactive.
One of the highlights of the event will be an "exciting first look" at the upcoming James Bond game, 007 First Light, developed by IO Interactive. This title was previously showcased at Gamescom and has been described as a blend of "Hitman meets action blockbuster." Fans can look forward to seeing more of this anticipated release, which is scheduled to launch on March 27.
In addition to the 007 game, the Partner Preview will also feature an "electrifying extended gameplay trailer" for Tides of Annihilation, a fantasy adventure game created by the Chinese studio Eclipse Glow Games. Viewers can also expect a "fresh look" at Reanimal, a horror adventure title from the developers behind the acclaimed Little Nightmares series.
Beyond the game previews, Xbox has also promised "brand-new reveals and Game Pass announcements" during the event. These Game Pass updates will be particularly noteworthy, given the recent price hike for the subscription service.
