What Xbox program hosted Palworld at its January 2024 launch?

Palworld launched on Xbox through the Xbox Game Preview program in January 2024.

Xbox Game Preview is Microsoft’s early-access framework for Xbox games still being developed. It allows players to purchase or access an unfinished title, play evolving versions, and provide feedback while the studio continues adding features and fixing problems.

Palworld debuted on January 19, 2024, for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S through Xbox Game Preview. It was also available through Xbox Game Pass from launch, which is a subscription service rather than the early-access program itself.

The alternatives describe different Xbox concepts. Xbox Play Anywhere concerns cross-device ownership and play, ID@Xbox is an independent-developer initiative, and Xbox Insider Hub is a testing and feedback application. None is the launch program named in the question.
