Microsoft Reveals 65 More ID@Xbox Developers
In December, Microsoft revealed a partial list of the developers signed onto the ID@Xbox independent publishing program. Today, a long list of additional studios has been made available.
Among the list of 65 studios (selected from over 200 ID@Xbox participants) are Compulsion Games (Contrast), Mediatonic (Foul Play), Neocore Games (The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing), Playdead (Limbo), and Warhorse Studios (Kingdom Come: Deliverance). Two of the first ID@Xbox games were recently revealed to be Nutjitsu from Ninjabee and Worms Battlegrounds from Team17.
You can check out the full list here. For more on ID@Xbox, you can read our recent coverage and watch a video interview with program leader Chris Charla.

Our Take
This is an extensive list, but I’d like to know more about the games on the near horizon. Sony’s indie machine is well-oiled, and while I expect that things will even out a bit down the road, Microsoft needs some indies to get their games out there soon.
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.
