Xbox's Winter Game Fest offers 36 demos of upcoming indie games

Available until 21st December.

The ID@Xbox Winter Game Fest demo event has returned, in partnership with tonight's The Game Awards, offering 36 demos for unreleased indie games on Xbox One and Series X/S.

The event runs until the 21st December, at which point you won't be able to download them anymore - although they should still be playable if you have them on your console.

It's worth remembering these demos represent a work-in-progress, and so may not represent the full game at their release.
