According to the latest news obtained by Windows Central, Microsoft plans to hold a new Xbox partner preview event in November 2025.According to well-known journalist Jez Corden, he learned from internal channels that this event will focus on displaying games from third-party partners, and the exhibition lineup will be "almost entirely composed of Xbox Play Anywhere games" - a technology that allows players to purchase them once and play them on both Xbox consoles and Windows PC platforms.

This arrangement continues Microsoft's recent platform strategy.Xbox president Sarah Bond has previously publicly stated that exclusive game modes are "outdated," and the upcoming preview event further reflects the company's determination to promote cross-platform experiences.Although a specific date has not yet been announced, the event will serve as an important window to showcase the openness of the Xbox ecosystem.

It is worth noting that Microsoft has recently ruled out the possibility of mandating the use of AI technology and continues to put development creativity at the core of technology decisions.At the same time, the next-generation Xbox Series X/S successor model is confirmed to be under development. It is said that it will support original platform exclusive works such as "God of War", demonstrating its hardware positioning that is compatible with diverse content.

In addition to the November preview, Xbox will also participate in a number of industry events in the coming months: including the ID@Xbox independent game showcase hosted by IGN on October 28, the TGA annual ceremony on December 11, and a developer face-to-face meeting scheduled to be held in January 2026.
