Microsoft outlines vision for self-publishing on Xbox One

Free devkits and no game update fees puts MS back into indie fold

Microsoft has detailed its vision on self-publishing for indie developers on the Xbox One.
The firm said it had met with more than 50 developers asking what they wanted from a self-publishing program as it plotted its course to create a more open platform.

As of today Microsoft is taking applications for the initiative, called Independent Developers @ Xbox (ID@Xbox).
Those accepted to the program will become a registered Xbox One developer. Microsoft said it would give priority access to indies who "have a proven track record of shipping games on console, PC, mobile or tablet".
There will be no application fees and there will be no costs for certification or game updates.
