The Xbox One will be receiving over 50 indie games, Microsoft announced at GDC as part of their ID@Xbox initiative. The list of indie games coming to the platform includes titles such as Wasteland 2. Goat Simulator, and, the best indie game from last year, and probably one of the best games from last uyear overall, Shovel Knight.
