Xbox Partner Preview returned today, shining a light on our third-party partners with world premieres, new announcements, DLC reveals, and much more. During the 30-minute broadcast, we revealed five brand-new games, released three that you can play today, and announced nine new titles that will be playable day one on Game Pass Ultimate - from powerhouse developers like IO Interactive, Poncle, THQ Nordic, and Future Friends.

The broadcast kicked off with the world premiere of Armatus, an upcoming third-person action-roguelike from publisher Fictions. We also showed a world premiere of Vampire Survivors studio Poncle's new game, Vampire Crawlers. Even better – all three of these titles will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

All of the games featured in today's show are Xbox Play Anywhere, which means you'll be able to play across console, PC, and supported gaming handhelds with just one copy of the game. Additionally, we announced that full-screen experience - originally available on the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X - is now generally available tomorrow (November 21) across all gaming handhelds currently in market.

Plus, we're expanding FSE to more Windows 11 PC form factors through the Xbox and Windows Insider programs soon. If you missed it, don't worry – we're here with a recap of everything announced during the show. Read on for more:

007 First Light

James Bond is synonymous with fast cars packed with wild gadgets, and 007 First Light plans to honor that legacy with the inclusion of what else but a slick Aston Martin. The trailer showed a first look at the Aston Martin Valhalla, a state-of-the-art sports coupé with a few "special" modifications (guns) built in especially for on-duty 00 Agents.

It looks as though this car will become a much-needed sidekick to young Bond's activities in 007 First Light – and you can floor it over to our post to read more about the franchise's long-running legacy with iconic vehicles. 007 First Light launches on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC on March 27, 2026.

Armatus

We got a first look at the worldwide premiere of Armatus, a third-person roguelite shooter from Counterplay Games. The trailer introduces us to a mysterious event known as The Vanishing, which has ended the world. Armatus sees you become a masked warrior, summoned and magnificently armed, to defeat the demonic horrors wandering the ruins of Paris.

Your motivations are a mystery for now, so we're excited to see what Armatus' narrative has in-store. You can also read more on Xbox Wire about the gothic horror inspiration and background of Armatus right here. Armatus launches in 2026 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud. It'll also be available day one via Xbox Game Pass.

CloverPit

Gamble for your life (quite literally) in CloverPit, the roguelite where every spin contributes to your survival. Locked in a room with a slot machine and an ATM, you must play to pay off your debts and not be plunged into the depths below via a trap door.

With a host of odd prizes and curious items that can trigger big wins, combos, and boost your luck, every run ends up different and more compelling than the last. Find out more about CloverPit's gripping loop, plus information about the upcoming DLC, here on Xbox Wire. And the ultimate jackpot – CloverPit is out today! Play it on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud, and via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Premium.

Crowsworn

This stylish action platformer blends tight traversal mechanics with fluid combat maneuvers, and we got to see a little more of it in action during today's Crowsworn gameplay trailer. The world of Fearanndal is under a terrible curse, and it's up to you to fight through hordes of monsters and unravel the mysteries of this forsaken land.

Uncover secrets, upgrade your abilities, and enhance your loadouts as you progress through this gorgeous metroidvania. Crowsworn launches on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud, and will also be playable day one with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Dave The Diver + In The Jungle DLC

Dave the Diver arrives on Xbox today! Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC players can dive into this deep-sea RPG and explore the Blue Hole by day, and run a thriving sushi restaurant by night. Its whimsical setting combined with a deeply moreish gameplay loop is an absolute must-play.

We also got a look at In The Jungle, a new expansion that sees our titular marine hero Dave exploring solid ground, riding through jungle settlements, and doing battle against a fierce, giant crocodile. Read more about the inspiration behind Dave the Diver, here on Xbox Wire. Dave The Diver is available today on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud, and is optimized for handheld devices.

In The Jungle arrives early 2026.

Echo Generation 2

Developer Cococumber has unveiled a sequel to voxel adventure Echo Generation, and it looks interesting indeed. Echo Generation 2 is bringing back the first game's spooky, supernatural setting, as well as its explosive turn-based combat against cosmic horrors and raging robots.

We're also seeing welcome inspiration from many beloved '80s and '90s action movies, including a Gremlins-esque battle sidekick. It looks like great fun, and we're curious to see more. Echo Generation 2 is coming soon to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Xbox Cloud, and Xbox Game Pass.

Erosion

We showed the world premiere of Erosion, an isometric action game set in a stylish, western-themed voxel world. The trailer showed us a super interesting mechanic – when you die, you respawn 10 years later. In the time that passes, the world around you has changed, and other characters have become more powerful or weaker.

This unique concept offers endless possibilities for storytelling and gameplay, and we can't wait to learn more about Erosion's journey.
