Microsoft's occasional Xbox Partner Preview series returns this Wednesday, 25th October, with another digital showcase of gameplay and trailers.

As usual, the Xbox Partner Preview will focus exclusively on third-party offerings - ranging from indie games to "familiar favourites", as per Microsoft's announcement - with proceedings set to begin this Wednesday at 6pm BST/1pm ET.

As to what will be shown, Microsoft has already confirmed appearances from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Studio Wildcard's Ark: Survival Ascended (which will be airing first gameplay), Remedy Entertainment's Alan Wake 2 (expect a "launch trailer for this one), and a fresh look at Dungeons of Hinterberg.

More is promised - including new information on third-party games coming to Game Pass - and the whole thing shouldn't take up much more than 20 minutes of your time, so refreshingly brisk by Microsoft's standards.

This week's Xbox Partner Preview can be watched on YouTube and Twitch (the YouTube version streams at 4K/60fps, while Twitch is limited to 1080p/60fps), and Microsoft says it'll be available in over 30 languages, with American Sign Language, British Sign Language, and English Audio Descriptions also supported.
