As you know, we occasionally browse the "Top Paid" charts on the Xbox Store to see what's been performing well in recent weeks, and we've been surprised to find three indies charting surprisingly high on there right now!

The most incredible performer is Escape the Backrooms, which is literally #1 as things stand. It's beating EA Sports FC 26, 007 First Light, Forza Horizon 6 and various other massive AAA releases.

As you can see though, the Xbox Store is quite delayed when it comes to rejigging its chart lineup, so the likes of Destiny 2: The Collection and the Metro Saga Bundle are also charting really high due to a recent sale that's now over.

Beyond the top five, another high charting game is NBA The Run, which a spiritual successor to the old NBA Street games. That one's in the number eight spot as things stand, humorously sitting ahead of NBA 2K26 in ninth. Better yet, the Deluxe Edition of NBA The Run is also doing really well in the #24 spot.

And finally, Bellwright is another new release from last week that's launched straight into 11th place. It's been on PC for some time now, and the new Xbox version has a 3.9/5 rating on the Xbox Store based on 100+ total reviews already.

You can go and check out the rest of the chart for yourself if you want, and we'll leave you with more details on these three indie games below. There are so many indie releases every week that it's easy to lose track of the best ones!
