ID@Xbox announces indie fest featuring dozens of time-limited demos

Microsoft’s ID@Xbox program has been supporting indie games for quite a few years now, having paid over $5 billion to developers since its inception while also offering other forms of non-financial assistance. With regards to the latter, Microsoft has now announced the ID@Xbox Indie Selects Demo Fest – letting you check out dozens of demos for a limited time.

Making the announcement on their Xbox Wire blog, Jessica Ronnell – the Senior Developer Engagement Manager at Xbox wrote: “We’re thrilled to announce that our Indie Selects Demo Fest has begun, featuring more than 40 exciting game demos available on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.”

Available from now until the 30th of September, Xbox users can check out dozens of new and upcoming indie games, including but not limited to:

• Yooka-Replaylee
• Mina the Hollower
• The Jackbox Party Pack 11
• Tormented Souls 2
• Halls of Torment

The full list of titles can be found HERE, including a number of newly-announced indie projects.

Demos are extremely important when it comes to spreading awareness for a game. This fact is doubly-so the case when it comes to indie titles. As such, it is therefore welcome to see Microsoft continuing to highlight such games.
