One year of ‘Indie Selects’
A year ago, Xbox introduced its ‘Indie Selects’ program as a way to highlight a batch of indie titles each and every month – and at the program’s one-year anniversary, the team has picked out six must-play indies from 2024.
Team Xbox says that this selection showcases “six top Indie Selects titles from 2024 that we believe you need to play” – and remember, these have been purposefully selected as non-Game Pass titles to give those releases some extra recognition.
Without further ado, here are Microsoft’s top Indie Selects picks from the last year:
- Animal Well
- Balatro
- Crow Country
- Hypercharge: Unboxed
- Neva
- The Plucky Squire
Xbox adds that “each of these titles are a great representation of what our industry strives to achieve”, and we must say, these are some rather good choices from the team. In fact, we reviewed three of these 2024 indies ourselves here at Pure Xbox and really enjoyed each and every one of them – so we’ll throw those written reviews down below.
Finally, Microsoft has created a little Indie Selects Anniversary Collection area on the Xbox Store, for those of you that want to have a look at these and see if you’re tempted into picking any up. Here’s how to navigate to the collection:
- From Xbox Home, select Store
- On Store go to the left navigation bar and select Games.
- On the Games home page scroll down until you see the collection!
