More than 500 games have been released under the ID@Xbox Independent Developer Assistance program. This is reported by Microsoft.

Within the framework of ID@Xbox, more than 2 thousand developer studios received devkits for creating games. More than 1 thousand titles are currently under development under this program.

Chris Charla, director of the ID@Xbox project, noted that thanks to ID@Xbox, several high-profile projects were released, including Inside from the Playdead studio, which became the winner of the 2016 BAFTA Award.

ID@Xbox was introduced more than 4 years ago. The program is designed to help independent developers release their projects on the Xbox and Windows platforms.

According to Microsoft, Xbox One and Windows 10 users have collectively spent more than a billion hours of gaming time in ID@Xbox games.
