Xbox has officially rolled out a huge sale on a variety of indie games, giving fans the chance to pick up some beloved titles for cheap. The rise of indie games throughout the last decade has brought the release of some of the most critically-acclaimed games in the modern gaming industry, ushering in surprising landmark releases. Games like Stardew Valley and Hades have revolutionized their genres, while others like It Takes Two have even captured coveted awards. Xbox is now giving fans the chance to pick up some fan-favorite indie games for a big discount.

Xbox Game Pass has been a particularly successful way for many gamers to discover new indie games from small developers. Game Pass often features a mix of both lesser-known indie games and massively successful games, with Xbox recently adding 2024 smash hit TCG Card Shop Simulator to the Game Pass lineup. Many indie titles have also taken advantage of Game Pass for its "Day 1" releases, allowing fans to immediately try out a new indie game after its release. A new sale is now putting some of Xbox's most beloved indie games in the spotlight.
