Regular visitors to our sister site Nintendo Life will have spotted a Nintendo Indie World Showcase that took place earlier today, and as usual, there were a few games in that show that are also coming to Xbox consoles!
In fact, four of the titles in the event are coming to Xbox Game Pass in the future – one of which had never been announced for Game Pass prior to today. That game is called Ball x Pit, developed by Kenny Sun and published by Devolver Digital, while the other three had been announced but received new trailers as part of the showcase.
Here’s a look at each of those four Xbox Game Pass titles from today’s Nintendo Indie Showcase:
