Microsoft has announced details of its next ID@Xbox Digital Showcase.

Viewable on IGN and its social media platforms, the indie games showcase will be streamed on April 29 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST.

It will feature “another batch of hotly anticipated indies for you to play across Xbox and PC”, according to Microsoft.

“On top of epic trailers, fresh gameplay, and new reveals, the show will feature new details on upcoming games like Dungeons of Hinterberg, 33 Immortals, Lost Records Bloom & Rage, and many others,” the platform holder said.

A similar showcase last year included looks at Karateka, Axiom Verge 2 and Sea of Stars, among other games.

Xbox recently showcased four indie titles releasing as part of its ID@Xbox programme.

The games shown were Botany Manor, which is now available, and upcoming titles Jump Ship, Nightscape, and Still Wakes the Deep.

Microsoft has heavily discounted a selection of its PC games in the Xbox Game Studios Publisher Sale.

Running until May 2, the promotion includes savings on titles from Xbox studios like Ninja Theory, Turn 10, Obsidian, The Coalition, Playground Games and Rare.

While savings vary, the biggest discount appears to be for Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, which has seen 90% knocked off its full price ahead of Hellblade 2‘s release in May.
