Microsoft lät just under sitt pågående event på Gamescom bekräfta att man kommer att ha gratis publicering av indie-titlar. Tjänsten kallas Independent Developers @ Xbox och genom att registrera sig hos Microsoft kommer man få utvecklingskit samt tillgång till tjänster som achievements, Kinect, molnet, Xbox Live multiplayer med mera.
I ett officiellt uttalande säger Microsoft: "The independent development scene has matured and changed a ton in the past couple of years, so we are acting on that to meet the needs of the development community. We're really proud to offer this new path onto Xbox One and we're excited to see what independent developers will build."
