Microsoft has announced a new early access program for independent titles (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/15/microsoft-xbox-indie-games/), called Xbox Game Preview. With this service, you'll have the ability to play games that are in active development and provide feedback about them to their creators -- similar to what Steam currently does (http://store.steampowered.com/earlyaccessfaq/?snr=1_200_200_Early+Access) with its community. Xbox Game Preview is expected to roll out later today on Xbox One, featuring indies such as The Long Dark, Sheltered, Elite: Dangerous, Day Z and more. This is yet another move by Microsoft to further support the ID@Xbox (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/developers/ID) program, which it's been focused on growing (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/07/xbox-one-indie-games-gdc/) since its introduction in 2013 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/20/xbox-one-indie-program/).
