Today’s Xbox indie showcase is officially in the books, and as expected, it contained a fair number of Xbox Game Pass reveals to dig into.

Let’s go through these eight new Game Pass announcements. There’s a solid mix of quirky and zany indie games, featuring a couple of deckbuilders and platformers, along with co-operative digging, frog-swinging, and plenty more.
Note that there are even a couple of October 2026 releases here in the form of Scramble Knights Online and Mouthwashing, the latter of which was a complete surprise and not included in Microsoft’s October Xbox Game Pass roundup earlier today.
Alright, let’s get on with it. Here are the eight brand-new Game Pass title announcements from Xbox’s indie showcase:

“Tongue-grapple and pinball-bounce the frog prince across levels to reach the Witch’s Banquet in this hand-drawn 2D platformer. Each whimsical world has its own wacky boss, hidden collectibles, and a unique traversal ability. Grit your teeth! You’re gonna CROAK”
