All sorts of indie greats are on the way to the Xbox One, including Game Four, The Long Dark, Sheltered, Beyond Eyes and more.,

The ID@Xbox initiative is helping indie developers get their unique titles onto the Xbox One. Based on Microsoft's upcoming lineup, there are going to be some potential classics on the way for the second half of 2015 and 2016. In particular, we can't wait for Tacoma, which is being developed by The Fullbright Company, who did the award-winning Gone Home. We're also getting the next game coming from Dean Hall (the creator of DayZ), ION. This space station-oriented MMO will have players living and dying in huge constructions in space where you must try to survive the final frontier.

Courtesy of the Xbox Wire, here's a quick rundown of all the indie games coming:
