Xbox’s summer promotion gives you store credit for spending money on certain spotlighted games

$50 gets you $5 or $10 back

You’ve gotta spend money to make money. The more you spend, the more you save. You gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelette.

That’s the prevailing logic with the Xbox Summer Spotlight indie sale. Through the end of August, buying certain ID@Xbox indie games on Xbox One will go toward earning money back over the course of the event. Spend $50 total and get $5 in store credit. However, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers double up and get $10 instead of $5.

Here are the games that are currently eligible in the Xbox Summer Spotlight promotion:

• Aircraft Evolution — $7.99
• Allison’s Diary: Rebirth — Coming soon
• Bounty Battle — Coming soon
• Carrion — $19.99
• Desperados III — $59.99

New ID@Xbox games will be added to the list every week. It’s not the best deal we’ve ever seen, but it’ll stretch some people’s dollar a little further.
