Microsoft just wrapped its ID@Xbox March showcase, a dedicated live event hosted in partnership with Twitch, shining a spotlight on independent developers on its platform. The over three-hour event compiled new gameplay, trailers, and interviews across 100 titles headed to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PCs.

Formally dubbed the /twitchgaming ID@Xbox showcase, the event highlighted a varied lineup of upcoming independently published titles, arriving via Microsoft's dedicated ID@Xbox developer program.
