GDC 2019 is quickly approaching (man I gotta pack at some point) and ahead of the conference ID@Xbox has announced the thirty games they will be showing off in San Francisco from March 18-22, 2019 that includes 13 new titles.

ID@Xbox (Microsoft’s indie-focused department) will be at the Microsoft Booth in the lower level of the South Hall and at a Developer Showcase for media members, so expect a write up sometime during or after GDC. The thirteen new titles under ID@Xbox include: Beholder 2, Boomerang Fu, CrossCode, Dead Static Drive, Door Kickers: Action Squad, HyperDot, Mowin’ & Throwin’, StarCrossed, Stela, The Forgotten City, Totem Teller, UnderMine, and Unrailed!

The full list of games being shown is below, as well as any relevant tidbits about them.
