As mentioned in our Summer Game Fest schedule guide recently, we’re trying to bring you roundups of many gaming events this week, and that includes some of the smaller ones such as the MIX and Shacknews showcases.
Honestly, yesterday’s Shacknews broadcast wasn’t that stacked from an Xbox perspective, but considering it’s a quiet Thursday so far, we thought you might be interested in the trailers all the same!
Highlights here included a new look at the Backyard Baseball revival, 8-bit parody platformer adventure The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest, and a fresh trailer for the 2D beat ’em up Toxic Crusaders.
So, here are all the Xbox games from The Shacknews E4 Indie Showcase 2026:
