3… 2… 1… ID@Xbox Indie Selects Demo Fest Starts Now! Post a Comment Category: Games December 9, 2025 3… 2… 1… ID@Xbox Indie Selects Demo Fest Starts Now! Jessica Ronnell, Sr. Developer Engagement Manager We’re thrilled to launch the Indie Selects Demo Fest! Starting today, discover over 30 amazing game demos — now including PC and Handheld titles for the first time! All demos are free to download and play anytime from December 9 through 31. Explore the full collection in the Indie Selects Demo Fest section on the Xbox Store and at Xbox.com. We’d love for you to share your feedback with the developers — it’s a great way to help shape the final experience! Please note: most demos represent early builds and may differ from the final release, including regional availability, as developers continue polishing their games. We’re also excited to share that 4 newly announced games below are coming to Xbox! 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? In addition to the new reveals, dive into a diverse mix of creative games you can play right now!
