Before PAX West takes place in the heart of Seattle over Labor Day weekend, Microsoft gets into this fun little tradition where it celebrates all things indie games on the Xbox One. It's been going strong for four years now, so why stop a good thing?

The company announced on its Xbox Wire page today that it is once again hosting a Pre-Pax Open House, taking place on the Microsoft Campus on August 30. Fans are free to drop by and play a number of upcoming indie hits for Xbox One from 5 to 9 PM. In addition, they can talk with the developers behind these forthcoming games, as well as enter a raffle for a chance to win some exclusive Xbox One prizes!

In addition, Xbox Ambassadors will be on hand with prizes, and Mixer will also be present, so new users can check out the level of interactivity that it provides.

Of course, this event is all about the games. Over 50 will be available for play over the course of the event, including the latest Jackbox Party Pack release; the long awaited sequel La Mulana 2; Klei's remake of Mark of the Ninja; and more. You can check out the full list below!
