ID@Xbox Demo Fest begins next week

The ID@Xbox program was created by Microsoft to help boost the visibility of smaller indie titles, promoting and supporting these creative endeavours. As part of this, Microsoft started its ID@Xbox Demo Fest – the next one of which will go live next week.

Making the announcement on the Xbox blog, Jessica Ronnell, ID@Xbox Events and Community Management Lead said “We’re back! What’s summer without new game demos to entertain you during those hot days and nights? Starting July 11 and running until July 17, you’ll be able to experience over 40 game demos on your Xbox console.”

We will have to wait until the day-of to know the full list of 40+ titles, however Microsoft did highlight some of the games which are participating in the event, namely:

• Demonschool (Necrosoft Games / Ysbryd Games)
• Lies of P (Neowiz) – Available Now
• Sea of Stars (Sabotage Studio)
• The Wandering Village (Stray Fawn Studio)
• Worldless (Noname / Coatsink)

Demos are extremely important when it comes to spreading awareness for a game. This fact is 10x more-so the case when it comes to indie titles. It is therefore exciting to see the likes of Microsoft continuing to highlight such games.
