The March Xbox Partner showcase concluded earlier today, and it had quite a number of announcements. 19 titles were present, with about half being new games, and the other being updates to known stuff. We've split the articles into the two categories for easier parsing. Let's get into the games!
New Games

Updates to known games
All the games in this section were known about, and we're just getting updates to them. Some titles are already out on some platforms, in which case the platform in question will be italicized.

Super Meat Boy 3D
Xbox Series/PC/Cloud (Day 1 on Game Pass), Steam, Epic, PS5, Switch 2 - March 31st
Difficult platforming challenges in a 3D space. If you've played the original Super Meat Boy, it's like that, but with an extra dimension.
Forever Ago
Xbox Series/PC/Cloud (Day 1 on Game Pass), Steam, Epic, PS5, Switch 2 - Fall 2026
A third-person adventure game about an old man reminiscing about the good old days. It's a lot more interesting than it sound. Side-note: I find it funny how the game releases in Fall, and the last shot of the trailer is the man falling. This joke probably doesn't land that well for the British.
Ascend to Zero

High-speed voxel roguelike about trying to prevent a bad future from happening. Hack, slash, die, repeat as each run unlocks more weapons for you cause more pixely carnage.
