Xbox third-party game showcase reportedly coming in November

Microsoft capped off October with the announcement of the next Halo game. Now, it looks like we are due for some more Xbox-related announcement within the next few weeks, as sources claim a new showcase is being planned. 

WindowsCentral claims to have heard from multiple sources at Microsoft that a new Xbox Partner Preview will go live in November. This would be a short stream, perhaps around 30 minutes long, containing announcements for new third-party games heading to Xbox in the near future.

There is currently no word on what games will be announced but I would expect Square Enix to make an appearance. The company has been quite open about its plans to bring Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth to more platforms recently. SEGA has been a strong supporter of Xbox in recent years too, so perhaps we'll see some updates around the Yakuza games.

Apparently, this stream will have a particular focus on Play Anywhere titles, which are games released on both Xbox and PC, with just one purchase required to gain access on both platforms. Apparently, Baldur's Gate 3 is about to join the Play Anywhere program, which would be a very significant announcement.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
