Xbox Partner Preview This Week to Feature Stranger Than Heaven and World Premieres

Microsoft has officially scheduled a new Xbox Partner Preview digital showcase, set to air this Thursday, March 26, at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET. The presentation promises a concentrated look at upcoming titles from high-profile collaborators, including Sega, GSC Game World, and Owlcat Games, alongside a slate of world premieres.
According to the announcement, viewers can expect an extensive gameplay deep dive into Stranger Than Heaven, the latest project from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the renowned developers behind the Like a Dragon series. Additionally, Owlcat Games will showcase The Expanse: Osiris Reborn—a sci-fi RPG heavily influenced by Mass Effect and set within the expansive universe of James S.A. Corey’s novel series. Microsoft also confirmed a fresh update for the highly anticipated survival shooter S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, along with several surprises and new additions to the Xbox Game Pass library.
For those looking for more granular details, Microsoft will follow up the broadcast with a series of technical deep dives and developer interviews hosted on Xbox Wire. The event will be streamed live across Xbox’s official YouTube and Twitch channels.
