Xbox Indie Showcase Announced For October 2025

We have a new Xbox showcase coming this month! Yep, in partnership with IGN, ID@Xbox will be showcasing some of the platform's hottest indies on October 28th - and we're expecting some fresh Xbox Game Pass announcements here as well.

IGN hasn't confirmed any XGP announcements just yet, but the team does say that the show will consist of "about 50 minutes of brand new content" including "exclusive trailers, new looks, and gameplay".

"The event will be packed with exclusive trailers, new looks, and gameplay for games from indie publishers including Serenity Forge, Thunder Lotus, Raw Fury, Skybound, and many more. The show will consist of about 50 minutes of brand new content across various genres."

This goes ahead at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST on October 28, and will be broadcast across IGN's social channels. However, we'll of course be hosting the show here at Pure Xbox as well, alongside rounding up all of the big news shortly afterwards.
