Xbox’s fall partner preview is set to begin in 30 minutes at 1PM ET. You can join the growing thousands watching on YouTube, below on Twitch, but if you really wanna be cool, catch it on LinkedIn.

The 25-minute stream kicks off at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM UK on October 17th, and you can watch it live on YouTube or Twitch.
