Thanks to Kotaku Australia, independent video game developers have been paid a total of $1,2 billion since the initiative was launched. Five years ago. Senior Program Director Chris Charla spoke about this in an interview.
"We've paid over $1,2 billion to independent developers of this generation for games that have gone through the ID program," he said. βThere are great commercial opportunities. This is a great opportunity for a craftsman.β
Charla didn't go into detail about how much each studio earned. Recall that more than 1000 games came out from under the wing of ID@Xbox.
The ID@Xbox program was launched in 2014 to help independent developers bring their games to the Xbox platform. It empowers creatives to unleash their potential and self-publish digitally on Xbox One and PC (Windows 10), and add Xbox Live support to the iOS and Android apps. According to GamesIndustry.biz, ID@Xbox brought in over $1 billion back in July 2018.
