Microsoft has announced another ID@Xbox demo event will start this week, running from December 6th-12th, and most of the demos set to be included are already available for download, meaning you can try them out early!
Some of these upcoming Xbox indie games confirmed for the event, such as Inkulinati and Thirsty Suitors, are set to rub shoulders with the best games on Game Pass when they launch into the service, but there's much more to try out this week. Microsoft has only so far officially confirmed four of the promised 20+ demos so far — Inkulinati, Rhythm Sprout, Thirsty Suitors, and Tin Hearts — and all bar Tin Hearts are already up on the store if you fancy jumping in ahead of the event kicking off proper. Better yet, they're joined by a bunch of others that are already live, which you can check out below. Based on previous similar events, it's worth pointing out that availability can vary based on region, so if you're not seeing some of these yet, you might need to check back later. Here's what's available so far...Afterglitch

Virgo Versus the Zodiac
Dethrone the Zodiacs, revive the Golden Age and purge the Heretics that swarm the galaxy as Virgo, the queen of Purity, in this unforgiving timed actions turn-based JRPG.
These demos will probably only be sticking around for a week, according to the Xbox Wire announcement story. "Some might be re-published to the Demo channel later, but many will simply disappear at the end of the week, so check them out while you can," we're told. It also sets expectations a little in that these are not your typical demos, comparing them to the early "show floor demos" you might see at an event like E3 or Gamescom, while also recommending hitting up the devs with any feedback on socials to help them improve their games before launch.
We'll update this once we have some more of the featured games — that Wire post says we should get the full list on the 6th when the event actually begins — but in the meantime, you should be able to go ahead and jump on into any of these that catch your eye. Which will you be trying out? Let us know down in the comments!
