The folks over at ID@Xbox are currently hosting an event where players can download over 30 different demos of upcoming games. Running from the 9th -31st December, the aim of the Fest is to get as many people as possible to playtest the games, and then feedback to the developers to assist them in improving the final product. So, what’s on the menu? Let’s find out as the ID@Xbox Indie Selects Demo Fest is live now.
ID@Xbox Indie Selects Demo Fest Titles:
The team at Xbox Wire have added the following note regarding the titles available to play during this event:
“Please note: most demos represent early builds and may differ from the final release, including regional availability, as developers continue polishing their games.“
They have also specially featured four of the titles as follows:
Knuckle Jet (Rain Games)
“Ready for something off the wall? Meet Knuckle Jet — a jetpunk action platformer from the creators of Teslagrad! Soar as Anastasia, ricochet off walls, and smash foes with the mighty Knuckle Jet. Mix and match gear for wild gameplay twists — fashion sense optional! Team up in 2-player couch co-op to topple Baron Tychoon, or throw down in Knuckleball for some friendly chaos.“
Megabattle (MadCat)
“Create your deck, build your robot, and dive into a roguelite adventure full of surprises! Design your own fighter, experiment with unique strategies, and discover countless ways to battle. Just one rule: don’t die!“
Raging Bill (Artpunk Studio)
“Raging Bill is a single-player sandbox of pure chaos. Play as Bill — ex-MMA champ turned billionaire — whose island paradise spirals into madness: party crashers, UFOs, zombies, dragons, and more. Inspired by Goat Simulator and Duke Nukem, it’s a mix of combat, stunts, puzzles, and freedom.
Built in Unreal Engine 5 with Lumen, Nanite, and Chaos physics, the 5km² world is packed with biomes, secrets, and retro Easter eggs. From jetpacks to hoverboards, every moment is designed for fast-paced, shareable fun. Created by Jérôme Tissot (Muttonheads) under Artpunk Studio, this is indie gaming turned up to 11.”
Reef Defense (Swift Creek Games)
“Dive into Reef Defense, a fast-paced strategy challenge where crustaceans are coming for your eggs! Build clever defenses, plan your moves, and fight to keep your reef safe. Can you outlast the swarm, or will the crabs feast tonight?“
