Although the relevance of the big ads is the most talked about, throughout the year more independent games come to see the light. And in this way, we have come to realize the importance of an industry with developers that have been able to give many interesting games. And around this situation, ID @ Xbox is a platform that has become very important. Now, from Microsoft, they assure that there are up to 2000 standalone games optimizing for Xbox Series X.
From the Xbox team, the Director of ID @ Xbox Chris Charla says that independent developers “They will be an essential part of Xbox Series X”, and they are going to be in charge of enriching a catalog of games that, at this point, cannot depend on the main publishers to provide variety and quantity.
The ID @ Xbox data is still there, where to this day, more than 1,500 million dollars have been invested in these independent studies and they have produced more than 2000 games. And it seems that he liked that figure, because in what is underway, he assures that there are up to 2000 independent games optimizing for Xbox Series X. This is what Charla says that “Is what follows”, why ID@Xbox it works, because “Thousands of the games players enjoy on Xbox One today are coming with them to Xbox Series X, thanks to our day one backward compatibility features.”
Talk trusts that this program, this platform, will continue to be “An essential part of the mix on Xbox Series X” and further confirms that there are more than 2,000 games where, “They are already in the process of being optimized or developed for our next generation console. Hundreds of developers have their Xbox Series X development kits. With that, “We’re sure there are things in development that we can’t even imagine.” We have seen some examples, but it seems there is still a lot to discover.
We can’t forget what ID @ Xbox has offered, where some studios have gone from that independent industry anonymity to being praised by the crowd. Cases like Compulsion Games and its We Happy Few, games like Cuphead, Celeste, Human Fall Flat and many more, which are more than 2000 who have seen the light, and more than 2000 who are preparing to Xbox Series X. The independent industry is very strong, Microsoft knows it and ID @ Xbox is the means that unites both to get many new experiences.
