If you thought Xbox Game Pass couldn't get bigger, Humble Games has announced these nine indie titles will be launching onto the service. Not only that, but they will be available on day one!
Archvale
Embark on a journey to find the ruins of a long-believed mythic arch in this colorful hybrid between classic RPGs and bullet hells. You’ll be pushed to your limits in enemy filled biomes and only through mastery of skills and weapons will you succeed.
Bushiden
Your sister has vanished and rumors swirl that Gaoh has been resurrected with an evil army at his command. Explore for cybernetic upgrades until you are powerful enough to defeat the diabolic Gaoh and his cybergentic army once and for all in this futuristic, action platformer!
Chinatown Detective Agency
Chinatown Detective Agency is a cybernoir point and click adventure blending stunning retro design with innovative mechanics. Manage your detective agency and use real world research to solve cases as you unravel a global conspiracy.
Flynn: Son of Crimson
Help Flynn and his mythical companion Dex save Rosantica before the evil from The Scourge claims his home. In Flynn: Son of Crimson, you’ll go on a journey of discovery and conflict as you learn to master the power of Crimson Energy.
Midnight Fight Express
Fight your way across the city in a brutal romp that mixes old school brawlers and fast-paced motion-captured combat. Battle across multiple, distinct hand-crafted levels on foot or a variety of vehicles.
Next Space Rebels
In Next Space Rebels, you will develop from a naive rocket hobbyist into an experienced space activist by designing, building, and launching rockets of increasing complexity.
Signalis
A classic survival horror experience with a unique aesthetic, full of melancholic mystery. Investigate a dark secret, solve puzzles, fight off nightmarish creatures and navigate dystopian, surreal retrotech worlds as Elster, a technician Replika searching for her lost dreams.
Unpacking
Unpack like never before! Arrange an unseen character’s belongings through a variety of moves, learning about them through each transition, in this self-paced zen puzzle game.
Unsighted
After a long war with the humans, the few androids that remain in Arcadia are running out of Anima, the energy that gives all robots consciousness. It's up to you, Alma, to find a way to recover your memories and save your friends from becoming UNSIGHTED.
The trailer, shown at Xbox's Gamescom 2021 Showcase, also highlighted Dodgeball Academia, which is actually available to download and play now. If you haven't already, be sure to check it out as it's a great little game.

All of the games looked interesting to me in some way, and I’ll be trying them out when they release. I think Bushiden looks the most exciting though, pretty excited about it.
Midnight Fight Express and Next Space Rebels are on my radar from those. Both looking really interesting
Signalis I can't wait for!
Awesome on our new most powerful system available we are blessed with glorified mobile games. I’m so glad I have game pass, what a time to be alive.
@Luigisghost669 Yes, because these are the only games coming to or are currently available on Gamepass. What a ridiculous comment.
Owlboy vibes from Flynn: Son of Crimson. Looking forward to this one.
@FredBiletnikoff 90 percent of game pass is Bethesda halo and Indy garbage and if you don’t like FPS or games with guns for that matter your basically screwed.
@Luigisghost669 Jeez, don't have to be a jerk to these indie developers, even if you're not into these games.
@Luigisghost669 LOL What were you expecting? Luigi's Mansion 3? Cause... that's not going to happen..
What kind of games do you like and feel are missing? Take another/closer look, dude - there's a very wide variety of high quality games on GP.
Everything about Signalis speaks to me.
@everynowandben new super luckys tail and psychonauts . And jrpgs there don’t seem to be many but please by any means I’ll take suggestions.

3D Platformers
If you haven't played the classics, check out Banjo Kazooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day.
JRPGs
If you like Paper Mario (64 and TTYD), definitely check out Bug Fables and/or Costume Quest 2 which are both really fun and feature action commands.
Undertale is also excellent, especially if you are into EarthBound
Octopath Traveler is very good as well.
I've never actually played them, but
Dragon Quest Builders 2, Dragon Quest 11, and Yakuza Like A Dragon are all supposed to be great.
Couple others you might like:
Katamari Damacy Reroll
Ori 1 & 2
Some of these look rather interesting.
Particularly Bushiden and Flyn.
Flynn: Son of Crimson, gives me vibes of some of those old platform games that were on the SNES about 30 years ago, very retro, as an older gamer I'm a fan of this kind of thing.
