Jessica Ronnell, ID@Xbox Team Lead: Events, Social and Community Management

Holiday Greetings from Xbox! We’re thrilled to bring you over 35 amazing demos to enjoy on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. And of course, you can download and play these demos from the comfort of your home between December 10-31.

We invite you to explore these demos with your friends and family during this holiday season, starting today and continuing as more demos become available in the coming weeks. Please note that these demos offer an early look at gameplay and may not fully represent the final game or its market availability at release as developers will continue to update and refine their titles ahead of launch. Your early feedback to the developers is greatly appreciated!

Additionally, we’re excited to announce that nine newly revealed games are coming to Xbox!

Metavoidal (Yellow Lab Games)

Metavoidal is a quirky pixel art roguelite brawler where you take on the role of a drummer who uncovers the true nature of a sinister metal band that has taken over a cathedral. You’ll navigate through the decaying church, now corrupted by their influence, and enhance your drumming skills by expanding your repertoire of metal music to defeat them. Build your playlist, hone your skills, and battle your way through the grotesque eldritch band members, one by one, to finally break free from their control. Or perish in the attempt!

Petey Pedro unBEETable Adventure (Sparkley Barkley Games)

Petey Pedro unBEETable Adventure is a nostalgic game for those RAD 80’s and 90’s kids. Easy to pick up, hard to master play style. Help Petey Pedro get back home after falling into a magical world where the SWEETS he chose over a healthy BEET are now his worst nightmare.

Potions: A Curious Tale (Stumbling Cat)

Potions: A Curious Tale is an adventure-crafting game where your intelligence is your greatest asset, and combat isn’t always the solution.
