Microsoft reveals developer acceleration program for ID@Xbox

Microsoft announced today it is launching a new program for its ID@Xbox publishing initiative. This developer acceleration program makes it easier for indie game creators to publish on Xbox. More specifically, the company hopes to bring more underrepresented creators to the platform using this program. It’s currently open for interested developers to apply by contacting Microsoft.

The acceleration program focuses on three areas to help developers get their games on Xbox: Porting, so the creators can release their games on multiple platforms easily; information, in the form of webinars about various release-related subjects; and prototypes, offering funding and support for small developers with interesting ideas to create prototypes.
