The latest Xbox Partner Preview 2025 november delivered a compact but packed showcase: world premieres, surprise releases, and several new titles confirmed for day-one availability on Game Pass. Over the course of the 30-minute broadcast, Microsoft highlighted five new reveals, three games available immediately, and nine games joining Game Pass at launch.
007 First Light
The next Bond game puts the spotlight on a younger 007, and the reveal leaned straight into the series’ trademarks. They showed off the Aston Martin Valhalla — not just a fancy sports car, but one fitted with a few very “Bond” surprises. It seems like the car will play a pretty active role in the story.
Release & Platforms: March 27, 2026 on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Armatus
The show started strong with Armatus, which takes place in a ruined, almost operatic version of Paris after an event called The Vanishing. You play a masked fighter brought back into this mess, though the game keeps your real purpose vague for now. The tone feels heavy, almost theatrical, with a mix of roguelite chaos and gothic atmosphere.
Release & Platforms: 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PC and Xbox Cloud (day one on Game Pass).
CloverPit
This one’s just weird in a fun way: you’re trapped with a slot machine, and your survival depends on luck, timing and the strange items that pile up as you spin. Every run veers in a different direction, which is kind of the charm — it’s messy but satisfying.
Release & Platforms: Available now on Xbox Series X|S, PC, Xbox Cloud and Game Pass.
Crowsworn
A sharp-looking metroidvania with fast traversal and combat that flows nicely from one move to the next. The trailer mostly showed travel through cursed landscapes and quick skirmishes, keeping the focus on movement and style rather than long explanations.
Release & Platforms: Date TBA; coming to Xbox Series X|S, PC and Xbox Cloud (day one on Game Pass Ultimate).
Dave the Diver + In the Jungle DLC
Dave the Diver finally arrives on Xbox, keeping its laid-back but strangely addictive mix of diving by day and restaurant work by night. The new In The Jungle DLC shifts the whole rhythm by taking Dave onto land, letting you explore settlements and face down a giant crocodile that clearly wants you gone.
Release & Platforms: Base game out now; DLC drops early 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PC and Xbox Cloud.
Echo Generation 2
The sequel keeps that voxel look and small-town supernatural vibe, but everything seems a bit more energetic. The enemies, the combat, even the humor feel dialed up, and there’s a creature straight out of an ’80s creature feature.
Release & Platforms: Coming soon to Xbox Series X|S, PC, Xbox Cloud and Game Pass.
Erosion
An isometric action game with a clever hook: losing a fight means jumping ten years forward. Characters age, the environment shifts, and the world doesn’t freeze just because you failed. There’s a dusty western aesthetic in the footage that sets it apart.
Release & Platforms: Game Preview in spring 2026 on PC; full release planned for Xbox Series X|S, PC, Xbox Cloud and Game Pass.
Hitman: World of Assassination – Eminem Elusive Target
Probably the wildest crossover of the show. Eminem asks Agent 47 to take down an aggressive version of Slim Shady — basically his own fictional alter ego gone rogue. The setup is absurd, but that’s exactly why it works as an Elusive Target.
Release & Platforms: Launches next week on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu
A co-op horror adventure inspired by Lovecraft’s stranger stories. Your crew lands on a coastline tangled with dense jungle and odd, reality-bending forces. The trailer leans into teamwork and confusion — the good kind.
Release & Platforms: Summer 2026 on Xbox Series X|S.
Raji: Kaliyuga
A big step forward for the series: a third-person sequel that picks up six years later and widens the conflict into something cosmic. You switch between Raji and her brother Darsh, each guiding different parts of the story. The environments look larger and more elaborate this time around.
Release & Platforms: Release date TBA; coming to Xbox Series X|S, PC and Xbox Cloud (day one on Game Pass).
Reanimal
From minds behind Little Nightmares, Reanimal follows two siblings as they search for friends inside what used to be their home — now twisted into a maze of creatures and strange dangers. The atmosphere carries more tension than loud scares, which works well.
Release & Platforms: February 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PC and Xbox Cloud. Demo and preorder available now.
Roadside Research
A co-op sim with a surprisingly fun premise: you’re an alien undercover, running a rural gas station while trying to study humans without tipping off the authorities. It looks silly in a good, “let’s play one more round” kind of way.
Release & Platforms: Q1 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PC and Xbox Cloud (day one on Game Pass).
Tides of Annihilation
Inspired by Arthurian tales, the game’s trailer showcased a full boss battle where the protagonist, Gwendolyn, slips between realities mid-fight. The battle feels dramatic, packed with small cinematic touches layered between action beats.
Release & Platforms: Date TBA; heading to Xbox Series X|S, PC and Xbox Cloud.
Total Chaos
A grim first-person survival horror where everything feels used, improvised and barely enough to get through the next terrifying room. The trailer doesn’t overexplain — it just drops you into the decay and lets the dread build.
Release & Platforms: Out now on Xbox Series X|S, PC, Xbox Cloud and Game Pass.
Vampire Crawlers
Poncle’s new project goes first-person while keeping the studio’s love of chaos intact. Old favorites like the bible and garlic return, but the entire structure leans into deckbuilding and dungeon crawling instead of overhead swarms.
Release & Platforms: Coming soon to Xbox Series X|S, PC, Xbox Cloud and Game Pass.
Zoopunk
Set in the F.I.S.T. universe, Zoopunk follows a cast of armed animal characters chasing an artifact known as the Spark. The combat looks snappy and acrobatic, with plenty of personality in the animations.
Release & Platforms: Launches in 2027 on Xbox Series X|S, PC and Xbox Cloud.
