Xbox Launches Indie Selects Program to Spotlight Top Indie Games

The initiative, reminiscent of Xbox 360's Summers of Arcade, aims to highlight unique titles in a crowded marketplace with weekly spotlights and monthly awards.

  • Xbox has launched the Indie Selects program to highlight top indie games on its platform.
  • The program will feature a permanent section on the Xbox Store, with games selected by the ID@Xbox team.
  • Games will be spotlighted every Wednesday on dedicated channels, including one for recently released games and another for games revolving around weekly themes.
  • During the last week of the month, six titles will be chosen as Indie Selects by the ID@Xbox team, featured in a special collection, and the developers will receive a digital award.
  • The initiative is seen as a throwback to the Xbox 360 era and its regular Summers of Arcade promotions, aiming to bring more attention to unique titles in a crowded marketplace.
