Microsoft Reveals Summer Spotlight Promotion For Indie Titles

Written by Brandon Hofer on July 30, 2019

News: Some games are going to get some extra spotlight over the next six week’s during Microsoft’s summer promotion.

Microsoft has revealed that beginning today they are running a “Summer Spotlight” promotion where they will be showcasing six indie titles. It is reminiscent of the “Summer of Arcade” promotions that Microsoft used to run during the Xbox 360 generation. Every week will feature new titles for six weeks with September 9th being the final day of the promotion. That date seems to work pretty well as that is the timeframe when Gears of War 5 will be arriving so gamers can transition from this program to one of Microsoft’s biggest franchises.

The games that are involved in this Summer promotion include the following:

Blair Witch

Vigor

Wreckfest

World of Warships Legends

Age of Wonders Planetfall

Bless Unleashed

Creature In The Well

Metalwolf Chaos XD

In addition to these titles being showcased Microsoft has also revealed that you can pick up some nice rewards by purchasing these titles. More specifically, you can earn up to 4,000 Microsoft Rewards Points by fully participating in this promotion. You will earn these 4,000 Rewards Points when you spend $40 on games featured in the Summer Spotlight in the Microsoft Store. You can check out those titles by clicking here. It should be noted that Free to Play DLC purchases do not count towards completion of this promotion.
