One of Microsoft’s key contributions to the gaming world was Game Pass, no doubt. On the other hand, there’s the ID@Xbox program. Launched 9 years ago, the aim of this program is to support independent producers. Within the scope of this program, 2.5 Billion DOLLARS has been provided to the supported companies.
A post on Xbox Wire by Chris Charla, Managing Director of Content Curatorial and Programs; While it is stated that ID@Xbox is preparing to leave its 9th year behind, it is pointed out the importance of independent producers for the gaming industry and underlines the importance of being able to support these developers.
Charla said the point reached at the end of the 9-year period goes far beyond what they originally imagined, and that developers involved in the program have made more than $2.5 billion so far. The amount spent in the last three years has doubled in previous years. Charla added that developers and distributors who were paid received hundreds of millions of dollars in Game Pass licensing fees.
Charla; He also noted that there are more than 4,600 developers from 94 countries preparing to stream their games via Xbox, and that more than 1,000 developers have signed up for the ID@Xbox program in the last 2 years.
All this data reveals that Microsoft devotes an important resource not only to big games, but also to independent developers and productions. In this way, both these independent developers have the opportunity to reach a wider audience and we gamers get very good independent productions. I don’t know about others, but it’s a beautiful painting for me. I hope we’ll get much better news in the years to come.
