With Indie Selects, we wish to shine a highlight on video games you may not in any other case see – and also you’ll get an unimaginable number of new, revolutionary, or simply downright unusual video games to play each month.
The standards is comparatively easy: we take a look at video games we think about to be Indies which have not too long ago launched on Xbox, and the entire staff votes. The highest six vote-winners are our Indie Selects for the month.
