The ID@Xbox program has earned indie developers more than £1.8 billion ($2.5bn) in royalties.
In an update posted to Xbox Wire, Chris Charla – general manager of content curation and programs – acknowledged that whilst the team “really didn’t know much” at the time the ID@Xbox program was launched nine years ago, Xbox understood that “[its] players loved the artistry and diversity delivered by independent developers” and “had to do everything we could to help developers maximise their success on the Xbox ecosystem”.
