Looking for some new games to try out this week while you wait for the next big thing to release? The ID@Xbox Summer Game Fest demo event is going on now, and that means there are plenty of games to try on your Xbox One.

There are over 70 games to try, to be precise, and you can test them out from now through July 27, as additional demos come to the service over the next few weeks.
