If you thought we were done with game showcases for the summer, you were wrong.

The showcase is expected to show off an array of trailers, announcements and gameplay from ID@Xbox partners.

ID@Xbox is Microsoft's program to help support independent game developers and publishers to bring their games to the Xbox platform. While not every game that takes the ID@Xbox route ends up on Game Pass, many do and it is reasonable to expect that at least some of the titles we will see at the IGN x ID@Xbox Showcase will be Game Pass reveals, as well.

The showcase will not just be another trailer-fest, however. ID@Xbox will also kick off Summer Games Demo Fest where players can have the opportunity to download playable demos of the games from the showcase to your Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One console. The Summer Games Demo Fest will last from July 11 until July 17.
