Xbox Hosting Indie Showcase Event Next Week
It's been almost one year since the first Xbox indie gaming showcase — ID@Xbox — came out via Twitch, and Microsoft is gearing up for another stream in the near future. This specific Xbox initiative has been at the forefront of indie gaming for some time now and even hosted a special game demo event late in 2021, featuring over 30 up-and-coming indie titles in a playable format.
The latest blog post on the official Xbox website has announced that the next ID@Xbox promo is slated for next week, and will feature both updates on currently-released indie games and some entirely new game announcements, with a few noteworthy shout-outs on who to expect to hear from.
