Xbox indie games: All 40 ID@Xbox demos you can play for free this week


With E3 2021 in full swing, it can be frustrating to feel like all the hype-worthy games are months — or even years — away. If all these trailers are leaving your trigger fingers a bit itchy, you’re in luck. Xbox is bringing back its Summer Game Demo Fest, starting today. A total of 40 indie game demos will be available between now and June 21.

Be sure to check your Xbox Dashboard throughout the week, since more demos will become available throughout the week. Most of these demos are an early look at gameplay and may not represent the full game at release — a lot can change ahead of launch.

But first: What are your favorite games and platforms of 2021, and what future releases are you most excited about? Take our poll!
