What does Xbox Partner Preview mean?

Xbox Partner Preview is a regular event where Microsoft highlights games from third-party partners rather than first-party studios. This has strategic significance in emphasizing the diversity of the Xbox platform's game lineup and highlighting the content competitiveness of the Game Pass service. In particular, the release of Ryugagotoku Studio's new work is attracting attention as an example of strengthening cooperation with Japanese developers.
