Microsoft will air its second-ever Xbox Partner Preview showcase later this week. It established the format in 2023 as a Nintendo Direct-style presentation where Microsoft can highlight third-party titles coming soon to Xbox platforms. Last year’s show included titles like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and The Finals, while this March’s show will feature games like Tales of Kenzera: Zau and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.

For those subscribed to Xbox Game Pass or those just generally interested in what games are on the way for Xbox following Microsoft’s multiplatform hubbub in February, this is a livestream you’ll want to tune into. If you’re planning to do so, we’ve rounded up all the information you need to know about when and where you can watch this Xbox Partner Preview, as well as what you should expect from it.

When is the March 2024 Xbox Partner Preview

The livestream for this Xbox Partner Preview will begin at 10 a.m. PT on Wednesday, March 6. An Xbox Wire post announcing the event says it will be a “30-minute broadcast.”

As is typically the case with Microsoft’s gaming showcases, this Xbox Partner Preview will air on the official Xbox YouTube and Twitch pages. There will also be a version with American Sign Language interpretation airing on the Xbox ASL Twitch channel. We’ve embedded the YouTube livestream premiere above so you can watch it right from this web page.

What to expect from the March 2024 Xbox Partner Preview

Microsoft teased that there will be “more than a dozen new trailers” at this Xbox Partner Preview, but only confirmed three specific games. First is Surgent Studios and EA Originals’ Metroidvania Tales of Kenzera: Zau, which will get a video highlighting its combat and traversal mechanics. We’ll also see “new gameplay” from Capcom’s Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, an action game first teased at the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase. Finally, there’s The First Berserker: Khazan, a new Soulslike from Nexon.

The 2023 Xbox Partner Preview had some surprises packed into it, like the first look at gameplay from Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, so hopefully the same goes for the second entry in this new Xbox game presentation format.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves gives Street Fighter 6 a run for its money

The past half-decade in the fighting game genre has been spent bringing back classic series and freshening them up for a new age. Street Fighter 6's drive gauge and modern controls, Mortal Kombat 1 and its introduction of assist attacks, Tekken 8's Heat system, and more have shown that even older franchises in this genre aren't afraid of reinventing the wheel. SNK also demonstrated a willingness to do this with the latest entries in the Samurai Shodown and The King of Fighters series, but after my time with Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves and its new REV system, I don't think any of the company's other new games hold a candle to the formula reimagining this long format IP is getting next year.

How to use Great Runes in Elden Ring

The world of Elden Ring is filled with mysteries. The game doesn't hold your hand for long before letting you venture out in any direction you like – which is both a blessing and a curse. Stumbling upon new weapons, enemies, or another gorgeous viewpoint is what makes Elden Ring so entertaining, and if the game simply pointed you towards all these locations, it wouldn't be nearly as exciting.

Elden Ring: How to find and use Rune Arcs
An Elden Ring player sits on their horse and looks out at a castle ahead.

Like everything else developed by FromSoftware, Elden Ring is painfully difficult. It'll take you hundreds of hours to discover everything it has to offer, and unless you're a grizzled veteran, you'll likely hit the "Game Over" screen thousands of times before your journey in the Lands Between comes to an end.

One way to help even the odds is by using Rune Arcs — a consumable item that lets you access Great Runes. You'll first need to unlock Great Runes to start properly using Rune Arcs, but once that's taken care of, you'll notice a big boost in your abilities.
