Microsoft confirms Xbox One self-publishing – every next gen Xbox can play work-in-progress games
“Our vision is that every person can be a creator,” says Marc Whitten.
Microsoft’s reservations about self-publishing on Xbox One? Consider them put to bed. The firm’s chief product officer Marc Whitten has confirmed that the company will, in fact, allow developers to release their own games on the new Xbox without partnering with a publisher. What’s more, any Xbox One can be used as a debug unit, able to play work-in-progress games – all you need to do is get Microsoft to send over an authorisation code.
