Some Xbox One owners have already discovered a way of turning their Xbox Ones into dev kits, but Microsoft has advised against users turning on dev kit options, warning that this could render their console unusable. Charla also commented on the ID@Xbox programme's launch parity clause, which requires games to release on Xbox One at the same time as on other platforms.
Today, during the Guerrilla Collective show, ID@Xbox director Chris Charla provided some insight about Microsoft's plans for indie developers and next-gen.
This is critical in getting as many games as possible despite what some say about indie devs. The more the merrier.
During a panel at PDXCon 2019, Microsoft senior director of ID Productions Chris Charla talked about Xbox Game Pass and how games are selected for it.
"Just yesterday Paraxox Interactive announced Crusader Kings III, mentioning that it’ll be on Xbox Game Pass for PC on day one when it releases in 2020"
Nice, not bad for a service that doesn't support the developer.
I just dl and tried Dead Cells and it's seriously some of the best fun I've had with a game.
Tried this service on the PC... unfortunately the dam app was always giving error when starting to download a game.
Never had problems with other PC game launchers (Steam, Epic, Uplay, etc).
Thats obvious. Isnt that what a rental service is. I used to rent movies all the time i never would of bought or seen. Duh
really enjoyed hellblade and Blair witch stories. I never tried hell blade when it was on ps4 mainly due to not being sold on it, but trying it for free + my gold subscription well worth it, amazing game. Blair witch was also a pleasant surprise with a pretty good story.
ID@Xbox senior director Chris Charla discusses Project Scarlett, along with more general topics such as the impact of subscription services and consolidation on independent developers, and thoughts on the wider game curation debate.
I really like the xbox one and its games so far but microsoft needs to turn every xbox one into a game console first because there are too much focus elsewhere
Forza, Dead Rising, Titan Fall, Halo, Quantum Break,Sunset Overdrive, Fable Legends. Yep, Microsoft isn't focusing on the gamers.
good god not parity clauses again just make you system as powefull as the compertition then there no need for parity bull sh*t
This seems like a natural step for consoles. There are certain games I will only buy on PC because of user development.
There's a lot of scope available here if MS allow it.
@FPSRUSSIA Halo Xbox One, Quantum Break, TitanFall, Ryse, Killer Instinct, Forza 5, Project Spark, Sunset Overdrive, Max, the Curse of Brotherhood amongst others would seem to disprove your comment.
Microsoft's ID@Xbox program is a completely separate department from the 3rd party and 1st party game development teams. What they do does not affect what those other teams are doing.
