The ID@Xbox Summer Game Fest Demo event runs from June 15\u201321, 2021<\/h2>

Xbox, Geoff Keighley, and a whole bunch of indie game developers are teaming up next week for another big play-at-home bash. The ID@Xbox Summer Game Fest Demo event will run from June 15 to June 21<\/a> with 40-plus demos for upcoming games.<\/p>

I feel obligated to highlight these promos every chance I get \u2014 I love these at-home previews, doubly so when they’re available to the general public and not just media and influencers. This is the second year in a row<\/a> for the ID@Xbox demo showcase.<\/p>

You’ll be able to play these “show floor demos” across Xbox One and Xbox Series X\/S, and they’ll be accessible through the Xbox dashboard for one week, so there’s a bit of urgency. If you miss the window, well, that’s the nature of the beast. Cue Steve Miller Band.<\/p>

We’re in a big time crunch with E3 and its aftermath, but you might want to make room for at least one title, as a handful of them are high-profile as far as these things go.<\/p>

The team at Xbox hasn’t shared the full list of featured games yet, but here’s a preview:<\/p>

Sable<\/h3>

Tunic<\/h3>

Lake<\/h3>

The Riftbreaker<\/h3>

Echo Generation<\/h3>

These games all look good in different ways. As nice as it is to see Tunic<\/em> again, and as much as\u00a0Sable<\/em>‘s art direction pops, Eric’s got me invested in delivering mail in Lake<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>
