Xbox’s ID@Xbox Indie Showcase returns this week with Solo Leveling, Aphelion, and more

Xbox is bringing back its indie-focused showcase this week, with the ID@Xbox event set for 23rd April at 10 AM PT.

What to expect

According to IGN, confirmed titles for the showcase include Mistfall Hunter, There Are No Ghosts at the Grand, Aphelion, and Solo Leveling Arise Overdrive, with additional games still to be announced on the day. As an indie-centric event, ID@Xbox has historically been a solid platform for smaller studios to put their work in front of a wider audience.

A busy season for Xbox

The showcase arrives ahead of a packed few months. The Games Showcase 2026 is already confirmed for June, followed by a dedicated Gears of War E-Day Direct, so this week’s event serves as a warm-up of sorts before the bigger announcements land.

Picking up from October

The last ID@Xbox showcase took place in October 2025, where a strong indie lineup was highlighted. Several of those titles,, including Aphelion and Sledding Game, are arriving as Day One Xbox Game Pass additions in the April 2026 Wave 2 drop, alongside previously featured games like TCG Pocket Simulator and Mouse: P.I. For Hire.

Whether Thursday’s showcase delivers more Game Pass surprises remains to be seen, but the confirmed lineup already gives indie fans plenty to look forward to.
