Microsoft is still working hard to court indie games. The company showed off a bunch of them, old and new, during its 2024 ID@Xbox showcase, though once again Hollow Knight: Silksong wasn’t among them. In addition to a small tease for upcoming Palworld creatures, we also got our first look at some newly announced bizarro gems like pixel art adventure Centum and gig-economy sim Promise Mascot Agency.
The event, hosted by IGN, was a mix of new trailers, Game Pass updates, and shadow drops. We didn’t get clear release dates for a lot of stuff, but we did get a surprise free Vampire Survivors update that’s out on Xbox and PC now. While we only got a taste of the nearly two dozen games shown, more than a couple feel like potential game of the year contenders.
