Microsoft's latest ID@Xbox Showcase was a treasure trove of exciting updates and announcements for indie game enthusiasts. One of the highlights was the surprise release of Balatro, which shadow-dropped onto Xbox Game Pass on February 24. This card-based roguelike has quickly become a must-play for fans of the genre.
Another indie darling, Buckshot Roulette, is also set to make its way to Xbox. Just over a year since its debut in December 2023, this tabletop horror game has captivated over four million players with its intense and terrifying twist on Russian roulette, using a pump-action shotgun.
The showcase didn't stop there; it unveiled a slew of other indie titles slated to join Microsoft's subscription service throughout 2025. Here's a comprehensive list of the new indie games confirmed for Xbox Game Pass:
In addition to these indie gems, Watch Dogs: Legion (Cloud, Console, and PC) is set to launch into Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard today, February 25.
