Indie Selects for July 2026: Gameplay That Will Make Summer Pop

Every Wednesday, the Indie Select Hub on Xbox brings a rotating collection of curated indie games, and April bursts forth with a lineup as bold and varied as the season. This month’s Indie Selects feature six standout titles: 'Scott Pilgrim EX' revives the beloved franchise as a vibrant beat ‘em up set in Toronto, letting players fight through three rival gangs, explore an open world, and even play as former Evil Exes with seven unique characters and time-travel mechanics. 'Ghetto Zombies: Graffiti Squad' continues Brazil’s indie hot streak, challenging players to blast zombies with wild weapons, tag graffiti, and build up their arsenal in a top-down shooter packed with pixel art and strategic gameplay. 'Showgunners' channels the spirit of dystopian game shows like 'The Running Man,' offering turn-based tactics in deadly arenas where choices matter, allies join as popularity grows, and the action is both accessible and stylish in a 12-15 hour campaign. 'Laysara: Summit Kingdom' brings a fresh take on city building atop snowy peaks, requiring players to manage vertical supply chains, juggle castes, and prepare for avalanches across several modes, all with stunning Himalayan-inspired art and thoughtful design. 'Bubblegum Galaxy' is a cozy 3D narrative puzzle game where planet architect Haco, a cat with a house for a head, must rebuild the galaxy after a mishap, using hex-based tile puzzles, charming characters, and a lighthearted, self-aware tone to create an experience that’s as chill or challenging as you like. Finally, 'Sumerian Six' from Artificer sets a new standard for real-time stealth tactics in an alternate WWII, leading a team of scientist-commandos with unique abilities through intricate missions to stop Nazis from harnessing occult power, featuring intuitive controls, inventive abilities, and a rewarding learning curve. Together, these games showcase the creativity, variety, and global talent thriving in the indie scene on Xbox this April.
