Microsoft has been courting indies for years through its ID@Xbox program, but now the company is giving independent games their very own showcase. The newly titled ID@Xbox Game Pass stream will premiere on March 26 and showcase a variety of indies coming to Xbox One.Though a full line-up hasn`t been announced, Microsoft did mention a few by name including Afterparty, Void Bastards, and Supermarket Shriek. Plus, given the name, it seems likely this will emphasize the indies that are included as part of the company`s Game Pass subscription service. That service offers all-you-can-eat from a curated selection of games for $10 per month.This show will follow a spate of publisher showcases, including the spring Nindies showcase that featured a collaboration with Microsoft to bring Cuphead to the Nintendo Switch. Similarly, Sony announced its own State of Play stream, airing March 25. Between the regular Nintendo Direct presentations, Microsoft`s Inside Xbox and new ID@Xbox Game Pass streams, and Sony`s new State of Play streams, all three major platform holders are now hosting their own streaming programs.Check below for a schedule of times, and come back here at show time to watch it all go down.Microsoft ID@Xbox Game Pass March 26 Livestream Start Time9 AM PT12 PM ET4 PM GMT3 AM AET
