Major Milestones
From humble beginnings, to a massive umbrella of game developers, ID@Xbox has hit a massive milestone of launching 1000 games on Xbox through the program. ID@Xbox has been a major lifeline for Indie games to hit the Xbox store, allowing Indie studios to have a great means to put their product onto a console platform. Chris Charla, Seinor Director of ID@Xbox felt it was a good idea to give some recognition to the program, which it undoubtedly deserves.
“Over these past five years, we’ve seen the releases of incredible titles across every single genre imaginable – and lots of games we never could have imagined when we got started! We’re stoked that ID@Xbox is continuing to offer developers a place to share their stories in a meaningful way, helping to increase independent game discoverability and shaping Xbox One and Windows 10 as platforms that anyone can make games on and create with. We’re continuing to celebrate this momentum into the future and bring even more rad experiences to players with upcoming titles like Slow Bros.’s Harold Halibut, Capybara Games’ Below, Aurora 44’s Ashen, Black Desert from Pearl Abyss and Sable from Shedworks.” – Chris Charla
ID@Xbox has hit sixty seven countries, with over four billion hours played and a $1Billion gained in revenue through the program. The continued success of this program is one of the few reasons why so many gamers are treated to such fantastic games. Congratulations Chris and the ID@Xbox team, you’ve done a wonderful job and have well earned this milestone. The program also recently hit the $500M in sales mark last year, which shows that this past year has probably been one of their most successful ever. You can find successful games like Cuphead, Ark, Stardew Valley, Tacoma, INSIDE, and a whole ton more games including upcoming major titles like Ashen, Below, and Black Desert Online.
