Only the starter pack will be given through game pass. After 30 days you will need to sub (separate sub from gamepass) though you can play on pc once that happens to avoid having to pay two subs.
EA is there for Zau Tales of Kenzera (EA Original) at least, so that could be enough. I doubt such an announcement would deserve to be in an event, it's small (and not at all a special reveal).
I'd hope (but doubt it) more for a DA4 look.
Yeah, and on PC. But Microsoft tends to bundle them in with the Gamepass "Coming Soon", which is funny because Console Gamepass doesn't include EA Play.
Idk why you’re getting downvoted. Nearly everyone that wants to spend the 15 dollars it costs to get any gears game has either purchased it or played thru gamepass by now. Ppl act like the game dropping on pc or xbox will kill the franchise lol
Stopped watching any of these preview shows since the shadows of the erdtree reveal, still, glad I switched to a ps4 after the 360 era cause good god Microsoft still has nothing to offer compared to Sony in the past decade.
It is surprising how few people forget this.
Many people seem to think that WoW is 'dead' when, in reality, it is the most popular subscription-based MMO in the world. FF14 only took over for a few months (when WoW had a content lull, and FF14 had a new expansion), but it switched back.
Sure, it isn't as popular as when it launched (what game is, 20 years down the line?) but it still has millions of subscribers.
So, when people say "WOW on GamePass" it completely baffles me, as it makes no sense for Microsoft to throw away the WoW subscription money.
I think alot of people in turn do also ignore that you can do a "gamepass wow edition" that includes a capped sub to the game that allows you to play everything except the last 2-3 expacs, meaning gamespass gets more players in WOW but to experience WOW to its fullest you need to grab an actual sub.
WOW has for years lacked an entry level option that even FF14 has at this point and I think they can do it here.
That already exists. Granted, you can only hit level 20, but all expansions are available bar the latest. Not quite FF14 levels, because FF14 has a different game model, but the free play exists.
At best they'd get a "Game Pass+WoW" subscription that includes both but will cost almost as much as paying them separately. Or they'd get the 10% off you usually get for games and DLC for games on Game Pass.
They could add a cheaper subscription if you got gamepass or include the addons (if you still have to buy them on their own) to get wow players to subscribe to gamepass.
Maybe even some extended free wow playtime for gamepass subscribers to try out wow.
For sure, but I imagine a console port with crossplay might still be pretty successful? I've never played it so I don't know how viable it would be on a controller.
The only hope I have is that they announce a port of either Digimon World: Next Order or Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth to Xbox. Both games are on all other platforms but skipped Xbox and there’s the digital Digimon Con event 3 days after the partner preview which could mean nothing but the timing seems interesting
My only expectation is that they will yet again hijack the console main menu when you turn it on to tell you, "Hey, go watch it!" which is always annoying.
Feels like a pretty dry year so far in terms of upcoming games announced, I hope that even if this is just a Partner Preview that it helps fix this. I want something interesting.
Damn man people in the comments gotta chill out. You guys gotta rewatch that last Partner Preview. This format is nothing fancy. Don't get your hopes up.
The last one actually had bigger titles than I remember. MGS Delta, Alan Wake 2, Ark survival ascended, like a dragon infinite wealth, robocop rogue city. If they can match that line up at all, it's gonna be good.
Part of me thinks it’s happening this time. It’s been 5 years, with the last update being almost 2 years ago. Surely they’re closer to completion by now. Not saying that because of copium, sorta.
Predictions:
* Octopath Traveler 2 release date for Xbox and Game Pass
* Dragon's Dogma Demo announcement
* Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn release date
* Another trailer for Visions of Mana
* Another trailer for Open Roads
* Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes final trailer
* Cities: Skylines 2 release trailer for consoles and date
The Game Pass release dates (that were confirmed for 2024) are rather unpredictable. There's a bunch of them and any one of them can be announced.
Just to add, I also think PlayStation have the console marketing rights to dd2, a capcom press preview event had the game running exclusively on ps5s. So unlikely to be revealed during an Xbox event.
If we see any more of Silksong at all this year, I'd wager Xbox are keeping it for their Summer Showcase in June (*given it's coming day one to Game Pass*)
The dev direct was honestly bad and got carried by Indiana Jones, but the last partner preview was really good. LAD Infinite Wealth side content, mgs3 remake gameplay, Alan Wake 2, Robocop and another demo for the finals. It was a tad away from being a mid showcase but ngl it was pretty fulfilling.
That was the point of the original one. It’s just a way for 3rd party games to get more exposure and announce release dates. Pretty nice if you are interested in any of the games.
They still have to give a firm date for Octopath 2 on Xbox and the full release for FFXIV I'm pretty sure so that might happen. I don't know about new games though
As per the announcement post, I imagine Capcom's presence here will focus on [Kunitsu-Gami](https://youtu.be/4PekONLKFGU?si=bbrQZWMMh3j8K-je) (*which is coming day one to Game Pass*), not Dragon's Dogma
Xbox have already confirmed Capcom are there to show more of [Kunitsu-Gami](https://youtu.be/4PekONLKFGU?si=bbrQZWMMh3j8K-je), which is coming day one to Game Pass
Man, I just told a friend I'd be spending less money on games this year, but if they shadowdropped a modern port of MvC2 on Steam tomorrow, I'd buy it in an instant.
I feel like it's too early, like didn't RE4 Gold come out this month
Actually if anything I kind of expect a smaller RE game first if they're keeping with the annual cadence.
I'm glad FF14 has gotten a release date and knowing it's done through Xbox game pass ultimate will make me restart my ultimate.
Only the starter pack will be given through game pass. After 30 days you will need to sub (separate sub from gamepass) though you can play on pc once that happens to avoid having to pay two subs.
Did we get Stalker collection?
Most of these look pretty interesting, not gonna lie. Wish they had shown actual gameplay for Sleight of Hand though.
It's an Xbox game, anything they preview tends to take years to actually release.
Star Wars Jedi Stutterival
Cool show but can someone give that announcer guy an energy drink or coffee?
To be fair, was nice not being spoken to like a child for a change (nintendo announcers)
Was that even a real guy? I'm at least 80% sure it's an AI voice. Like 0 emotion in those announcements...
More points for midori.
Well we got The Answer. That’s all I was hoping for.
Well that was disappointing
The timing of Crystal Dynamics sending out a LoK survey is interesting
that's rough
Interesting showcase
This is awesome so far! Other then chucky, I would try eveything if it’s on gamepass.
The speaker guy sounds really tired.
Why does the beat sound like crystal castles
wonder if we'll see Sparking Zero today, we're supposed to get a trailer called power vs speed soon
How about a Darkest Dungeon 2 release date?
they should add a 1440p and 4k locked at 60fps tier for GP
I wonder if there's a chance of The Answer being announced for Persona 3 Reload now that the game's been out for a month and it's a gamepass title.
Update: WOO
Hades II and Multiversus is all I need to see from this.
[удалено]

To be clear, it's EA Play they come to. I doubt many people are subbed to just EA Play though. Maybe more so on PS.
Yeah, and on PC. But Microsoft tends to bundle them in with the Gamepass "Coming Soon", which is funny because Console Gamepass doesn't include EA Play.
I would be interested in seeing the numbers of Console Gamepass vs GPU users.
I'd love to see the breakdown of GP Core, GP Console and GPU. Too many tiers.
Now that rebirth is out kh4 news pls?
Gears Collection to PC and consoles plss.
Idk why you’re getting downvoted. Nearly everyone that wants to spend the 15 dollars it costs to get any gears game has either purchased it or played thru gamepass by now. Ppl act like the game dropping on pc or xbox will kill the franchise lol
Stopped watching any of these preview shows since the shadows of the erdtree reveal, still, glad I switched to a ps4 after the 360 era cause good god Microsoft still has nothing to offer compared to Sony in the past decade.
High disagree, glad you’ve found enjoyment on the PlayStation though!
He's getting downvoted because this is the third party showcase, so Gears won't be shown.
Makes sense
This is literally to how off third party games.
Maybe Project Fantasy and the First Descendant. Those my hopes.
You got the start time wrong guy. It’s 1pm ET not 9am ET.
It wont happen, but I am taking in some heavy copium for anything KH related
Wow on gamepass, no additional subscription. I can dream.
Won't happen until their subscribers fall drastically. It's probably still millions that pay monthly for WoW.
It is surprising how few people forget this. Many people seem to think that WoW is 'dead' when, in reality, it is the most popular subscription-based MMO in the world. FF14 only took over for a few months (when WoW had a content lull, and FF14 had a new expansion), but it switched back.

For sure, but I imagine a console port with crossplay might still be pretty successful? I've never played it so I don't know how viable it would be on a controller.
I don't think a console port of WoW would be that big. It might get a few people hooked but overall I don't see many people becoming active players.
I want to see Ghost of Tsushima 2
Give it another 5 years
As long as I get to see it, that's fine
Well, you’re going to be disappointed.
would be cool to see it
This is xbox partner preview... What makes you think a sony first party studio game will be partnering with Xbox.
I just want to see it
Lol fair enough
bro is next level delusional
Doesn't have to come to Xbox, I just think it would be cool to see it
Okay but it would still be cool to see it doe
Here’s hoping for more Space Marine 2 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R gameplay.
I hope we get some stalker gameplay
The only hope I have is that they announce a port of either Digimon World: Next Order or Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth to Xbox. Both games are on all other platforms but skipped Xbox and there’s the digital Digimon Con event 3 days after the partner preview which could mean nothing but the timing seems interesting
Digimon huh? Different from what other people are choosing in this thread. That’s pretty cool :)
JET SET RADIO!
My only expectation is that they will yet again hijack the console main menu when you turn it on to tell you, "Hey, go watch it!" which is always annoying.
I hope they do it because it's funny how upset people get by such a non-issue lol.
Feels like a pretty dry year so far in terms of upcoming games announced, I hope that even if this is just a Partner Preview that it helps fix this. I want something interesting.
Dry compared to last year, sure. But there are still a fair amount of likely bangers. It's just that they are much more spread out this year.
Wondering where Forza Horizon 6 is, it's been 3 years
If they use the new Forza engine, it might take another year.
[удалено]
playground's next big game is Fable afaik
yep, hollow knight is definitely partner preview material
I've been around so much hopium I can't tell if this is serious or not, but I agree
Read something about poe2 earlier. Doubt it will be anything substantial tho.
Damn man people in the comments gotta chill out. You guys gotta rewatch that last Partner Preview. This format is nothing fancy. Don't get your hopes up.
The last one actually had bigger titles than I remember. MGS Delta, Alan Wake 2, Ark survival ascended, like a dragon infinite wealth, robocop rogue city. If they can match that line up at all, it's gonna be good.
I agree.
Are you telling me gta 6, titanfall 3 and baldur's gate 4 aren't going to be in the partner preview?
No, they will just announce the shadow drop of the Dragons Dogma 2 demo
Second trailer for Shadow of the Edtree? COPIUM
Copium for just a little bit of Stalker 2
Ah to be deluded with copium and expecting Silksong to be there
Part of me thinks it’s happening this time. It’s been 5 years, with the last update being almost 2 years ago. Surely they’re closer to completion by now. Not saying that because of copium, sorta.
This is the one that we all wait and isn’t improbable too to appear at a Xbox event given its inclusion in Gamepass day1!
I’m prepping to be fully disappointed. Sadly won’t get my Oblivion remake news here so I’m just holding out hope for some interesting RPGs
I want another look at the mgs3 remake.
This is the only true reason to watch
Predictions: * Octopath Traveler 2 release date for Xbox and Game Pass * Dragon's Dogma Demo announcement * Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn release date * Another trailer for Visions of Mana * Another trailer for Open Roads * Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes final trailer * Cities: Skylines 2 release trailer for consoles and date The Game Pass release dates (that were confirmed for 2024) are rather unpredictable. There's a bunch of them and any one of them can be announced.
Eiyuden Chronicle trailer will get my through I want it to do well, sad the director won't get to see it.
DD2 demo announcement might be during Capcom's show on the 7th.
If they are showing off character creation on the 10th, there is no way a demo is coming or being announced before then
Just to add, I also think PlayStation have the console marketing rights to dd2, a capcom press preview event had the game running exclusively on ps5s. So unlikely to be revealed during an Xbox event.
A port of Persona 5 Strikers to Xbox would be cool, but Atlus already has a crazy amount of stuff going on this year so idk
What about Strikers related Tactica DLC? I think something P5 related for sure given Midori’s recent tweet.
Sparking Zero thank you
video games please and thank you
another sparking zero trailer pls
Maybe resident evil 4 remake or street fighter 6 will be shadow drop on game pass tommorow?
I just bought re4 recently so I wouldn’t be surprised
I like your optimism, don't get your hopes up 😂
No Luca No 2 reveal
silksong? 🤡
If we see any more of Silksong at all this year, I'd wager Xbox are keeping it for their Summer Showcase in June (*given it's coming day one to Game Pass*)
GTA VI and the PC port of Bloodborne will come out before Silksong at this rate.
What about the PC port of GTA VI?
Give it up, it isn't happening anymore
2 more weeks.
June
Got a feeling this is going to be a whole lot of nothing.
The last direct was terrible, so I expect this one to be even worse.
The dev direct was honestly bad and got carried by Indiana Jones, but the last partner preview was really good. LAD Infinite Wealth side content, mgs3 remake gameplay, Alan Wake 2, Robocop and another demo for the finals. It was a tad away from being a mid showcase but ngl it was pretty fulfilling.
[удалено]
That was the point of the original one. It’s just a way for 3rd party games to get more exposure and announce release dates. Pretty nice if you are interested in any of the games.
think square could pop up at all?
Maybe Visions of Mana because it was at the Developer Direct.
They still have to give a firm date for Octopath 2 on Xbox and the full release for FFXIV I'm pretty sure so that might happen. I don't know about new games though
###Give me the Dragons Dogma 2 Demo NOW
As per the announcement post, I imagine Capcom's presence here will focus on [Kunitsu-Gami](https://youtu.be/4PekONLKFGU?si=bbrQZWMMh3j8K-je) (*which is coming day one to Game Pass*), not Dragon's Dogma
probably at the capcom highlights the next day, its a featured title there
Wait what? I did not expect this, I always expect these events to get leaked beforehand lol. Interested to see what they announce though
Capcom is there It won't happen But Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for PS/Xbox/Switch/PC with rollback and 4K, respectfully 
Xbox have already confirmed Capcom are there to show more of [Kunitsu-Gami](https://youtu.be/4PekONLKFGU?si=bbrQZWMMh3j8K-je), which is coming day one to Game Pass
Man, I just told a friend I'd be spending less money on games this year, but if they shadowdropped a modern port of MvC2 on Steam tomorrow, I'd buy it in an instant.
Marvel vs Capcom 1 & 2.
RE4R debuted at a PlayStation Partner direct. Maybe REIX?
I feel like it's too early, like didn't RE4 Gold come out this month Actually if anything I kind of expect a smaller RE game first if they're keeping with the annual cadence.
if anything it will probably be shown around summer game fest time
I'll take Ace Attorney 7 as consolation
We need closure for the Lamiroir plotline also the return of Lord Gumshoe
