Microsoft Announces Xbox Live Creators Program: anyone can make games for Xbox

After Xbox Game Mixed Reality Pass and support for Project Scorpio, here's another announcement made by Microsoft during the Game Developers Conference: the Xbox Live Creators Program . But what is it?

It's basically a new program that will allow anyone who wants to develop games and apps to realize them in regular home consoles and publish them freely on the Games Store, without any control from Microsoft (but the company reserves the right to remove, after publication, the titles are deemed harmful or offensive); It is made of an evolution of the program ID @ Xbox , which requires that the games are still approved by Microsoft, allowing anyone to create and publish their own games. The program supports game engines such as Unity, Monogamous, and Construct 2, Xenko I, and the games produced in this way can benefit from all the features of Xbox titles: multiplayer, rescues the cloud and so on.

The concept is basically similar to the Xbox 360, the Xbox Indies and titles published through this system will be published in a special section "Creators" of the Games Store. If you have a passion for programming and are interested in participating, you can start from this page .
