Snag 10 Xbox One indie games for $20 from Curve Digital

|
, ,

I’ve always felt that indie games don’t get their deserved attention, and I’ve found a few gems playing Xbox One indie games. Curve Digital has published quite a few and is now selling them on the Xbox Store as the Instant Indie Hits bundle which follows up a couple of their previous Instant Indie Collections. The price of the bundle is $99.99USD/CAD (great deal if you’re Canadian given the current conversion rate) for 10 games which would cost you just over $120 if you purchased them separately. While the full retail price of the bundle nets you a game or two for free if you purchase it before March 9th you can get all $10 games for only $20 – a savings of $79.99 or almost 80%. Not a bad deal for 10 games.

Check out the games include in Curve Digital’s Instant Indie Hits bundle:
