Xbox fans are in for a treat as the gaming giant announces its latest ID@Xbox demo event  which will provide gamers with a unique opportunity to try out some of the hottest new indie games on the horizon. A staggering 33 titles are now available, tempting Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One gamers to dive into the gaming feast. The demonstrations will be available to gamers until the end of December providing an extended opportunity for exploration and enjoyment.


Unlike traditional game demos, this chosen selection is more analogous to'show floor demonstrations' seen at high-profile events such as E3 or Gamescom. Jessica Ronnell, the Events, Community, and Partner Onboarding Team Lead at ID@Xbox, explained the purpose of these demos stressing that they provide an early look at gameplay. She did however, warn gamers that they may not entirely represent the final product when it is released, citing continuing upgrades and adjustments by developers.


Ronnel remarked,

“These demos are an early look at gameplay and may not represent the full game at their release, including the availability in each country as developers continue to update and refine their title ahead of launch. So, don’t forget you can help provide early feedback to the devs!”

The huge game catalogue includes all genres and styles, ensuring that there is something for every gamer's taste. Players can obtain the demos by searching for their selected title on the Xbox Store.
