Microsoft heeft met haar ID@Xbox-programma een platform gecreëerd voor de ‘independent developers’ zodat hun indie-games op de Xbox One kunnen verschijnen. In december gaf Microsoft al een lijst met kleine studio’s die aan de slag gingen voor het apparaat, waaronder het Nederlandse Vlambeer. Nu maakt het bedrijf bekend dat er wederom zestig nieuwe independent developers zichzelf hebben aangesloten bij het programma.

Chris Charla, Director bij ID@Xbox zei het volgende:
Honestly when I look at this list, all I can say is “wow.” It’s incredibly humbling to see so many fantastic studios there supporting Xbox One, from XBLIG and XBLA alumni like Ska Studios and Humble Hearts, to new studios like Glass Bottom Games and Heart Machine, and veterans including Robomodo, Zoë Mode and Playdead. We could not be more excited!
ID@Xbox is a global program and we’re committed to bringing the best from around the world to Xbox One. The first ID@Xbox games are in certification now and, as always, we continue to look for ways to improve the creation process for our ID@Xbox partners with new processes and tools. Stay tuned for updates on both soon!
