Microsoft's next indie-focused ID@Xbox Showcase scheduled for July

Alongside Summer Game Fest demo event.

Microsoft has announced its indie-focused ID@Xbox Showcase will return this July, coinciding with the launch of its annual Summer Game Fest demo event.

This latest instalment of ID@Xbox takes place on 11th July and is set to feature a "first look at some new games including trailers, gameplay, reveals and more". It'll be hosted via IGN and, if past instalments are any indication, expect it to be a decidedly languid affair.

July's ID@Xbox showcase arrives alongside Microsoft's returning Summer Game Fest demo event. This runs from 11th-17th July and provides access to a selection demos for upcoming indie titles on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One, available to download and play at home.
