Xbox Summer Spotlight Series Features Carrion, Cyber Shadow, SkateBird, And More

A bunch of upcoming Xbox One games have been highlighted in a new series by Microsoft's ID@Xbox division. The Summer Spotlight Series specifically targets smaller projects by smaller teams, giving us a brand-new look at titles like Carrion, Dead Static Drive, SkateBird, and more.

The series consists of six videos, with each one diving into and showing off new games and gameplay. The videos themselves are short and feature someone from the development team of each spotlighted game discussing what the game is about, how the game plays, and, in some instances, a vague release window. You can check out the first Summer Spotlight Series video below.

Some of the videos also include footage newly released or highly anticipated titles, such as Cyber Shadow, ScourgeBringer, Super Meat Boy Forever. Below is a full list of all the games mentioned in the Summer Spotlight Series.
