As Xbox Game Pass continues to grow and maintain a significant lead on Google's Stadia plans, alongside the promise of what xCloud is capable of in conjunction with Game Pass, Microsoft has today revealed a number of Indie entries to the library that will be available from day one as they launch.

The ID@Xbox program has been steadily growing, and now Microsoft is giving a number of Indies a chance to share their wares via Xbox Game Pass as they release.

Eight games in total will be available upon release to the program, and these are led by Afterparty, a follow-up to Oxenfree from Night School Studio where two friends go on a pub crawl through hell in order to avoid Satan. Sounds divine and alarmingly much like my own life. Ahem. At any rate, the full 13-minute video embedded below showcases the games dropping with short insights from the game creators and is definitely worth your time.
