Everything shown at the August ID@Xbox showcase today

Some farms, skateboarding, and some weird science

Microsoft hosted another Twitch Gaming and ID@Xbox showcase today, spotlighting some of Xbox’s upcoming indies. Across several hours, it featured several notable indies, ranging from the unlaunched to those already out and coming to Game Pass.

Among the upcoming games, there were some neat-looking indies, like the cyberpunk action-platformer Aeon Drive and the previously showcased OlliOlli World. While I got a chance to look at the skateboarding of OlliOlli World a few months ago, today we got a look at customization in the game. Turns out, there’s a lot of different ways to deck your skater out in sick gear.

The pencil-sketched adventure RPG Time: The Legend of Wright also looked pretty cool, and is set to arrive sometime this winter. And Lab Rat will subject you to test after test with a metrics-obsessed AI sometime in 2022, for fans of puzzle games and sadistic robots.

Of course, there are also some games coming to Xbox Game Pass that were confirmed during today’s ID@Xbox stream. Library of Ruina is hitting Xbox Game Pass today, in what can best be described as a librarian battle sim. Collect books, gain knowledge, utilize your collection to win, and profit? I’m really interested to see how this one plays. Also, Stardew Valley is coming to Game Pass sometime this fall.
