The Xbox Partner Preview returned with a bang, shining a light on the incredible work of our third-party partners. This 30-minute broadcast was packed with world premieres, new announcements, DLC reveals, and more. We're talking five brand-new games, three titles available to play today, and nine new releases that will be playable day one on Game Pass Ultimate - from powerhouse developers like IO Interactive, Poncle, THQ Nordic, and Future Friends.
The show kicked off with the world premiere of Armatus, a third-person action-roguelike from publisher Fictions. This game is all about becoming a masked warrior, summoned to defeat demonic horrors in the ruins of Paris. And the best part? It'll be available day one on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. We also saw the announcement of Raji: Kaliyuga, a surprise sequel to 2020's action-adventure game Raji. Plus, we got a first look at Poncle's new game, Vampire Crawlers - all three titles will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
But that's not all. We also saw new DLC and an Xbox release for Dave the Diver, plus a first look at the wild new Eminem Elusive Target mission heading to Hitman: World of Assassination next week. And let's not forget the announcement of full-screen experience (FSE) - originally available on the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X - now generally available across all gaming handhelds currently in market.
