Microsoft has announced a new Xbox Partner Preview will take place this week on Thursday, March 26. The showcase will focus on third-party games, and is expected to last around 30 minutes.

Microsoft is also teasing brand-new reveals, world premieres, and Xbox Game Pass announcements, so it sounds like it will be well worth tuning in.
Will we hear anything more about Xbox Project Helix? Probably not, but Microsoft hasnât specifically ruled it out in its announcement post.
