The Xbox Summer Game Demo event is live now, offering 40 demos of unreleased games on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One.

You'll be able to enjoy these games from today, June 15 until June 31, so that's just under two weeks to get a sampling of 40 titles. Think of it as a game cocktail hour, and each game is served up bite-sized on a fancy plate. There's titles from developers Coatsink (the team behind Phogs), Skyhook Games, Samurai Punk, and more. The Xbox Summer Game demo event even includes the two indies everyone's been talking about all E3 2021: Sable and Tunic.

Here's all 40 games you can demo right now on your Xbox console, with handy descriptions for them all:
