Microsoft To Bring ID@Xbox Program To GDC
Earlier today, we shared a list of 65 more developers that have signed onto Microsoft’s ID@Xbox self-publishing program. Some of the first titles have been revealed, but we’re still looking forward to hearing more.
According to Microsoft Game Studios vice president Phil Spencer, that opportunity is likely to come at next month’s Game Developers Conference. Responding to a fan on Twitter, Spencer confirms Microsoft’s presence at the event. “We'll have some ID@XBOX stuff at GDC is the current plan,” Spencer says.

Our Take
ID@Xbox now boasts over 200 developers, and with Unity support across new-generation platforms and PC, there’s a good chance games could be coming soon. We’ll have more info from next month’s Game Developers Conference.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
