Microsoft have made some big announcements in time for Summer Game Fest, and ahead of the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase on Sunday. As per multiple posts to Xbox Wire, Microsoft have taken a keen focus on expanding their services to as many players as possible, and there’s plenty of reason to get excited as a result.
Perhaps the biggest announcement of them all is that Microsoft has plans to launch a brand new service, currently known as Project Moorcroft, in competition with PlayStation Plus game trials. Specially curated game demos will become available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers, and Microsoft intends to focus on supporting independent developers worldwide using this feature.
The program will begin to roll out within the next year, and Microsoft is trying to help independent developers gather support for their games using the program. Developers who participate in the trials will also reportedly be compensated for their participation, and provided with necessary data on the performance on their demos. It’ll be exciting to see what demos will be rolled out first, and a great avenue for discovering new gems.
