The ID@Xbox program is one created by Microsoft for independent developers to self-publish their titles on Xbox and PC. The program was launched in 2014 and has been met with critical and commercial success. Developers that have worked with Microsoft have been impressed with the company's responsiveness and support with issues that may be encountered. Since the program's inception, dozens of studios and games have come to work with Microsoft to publish their games on the platform.
With something for everyone and prices likely as low as they'll be for quite some time, now is the perfect time to stock up on hits and build a back catalog.

And for gamers that have been interested in some recent hot titles, now is the perfect time to catch up and see what everyone has been talking about.
