Get More ID@Xbox Projects Going
People love indie games. They often offer an entirely unique experience or just a fresh take on something tried and true. All you need to do is take a look at just a handful of the awesome games that have made their way to the Xbox One through the ID@Xbox program to understand their importance.
That rings particularly true for the Xbox One after the mass success of its ID@Xbox title, Cuphead. Despite facing a handful of delays, Cuphead’s charm stole the attention of the world when it released a few months back. Its visuals were unlike anything we’d ever seen before, its gameplay was hard as nails, and it was dripping with serious style. What resulted was one of the toughest and most enjoyable platformers of the year, as well as one of the Xbox One’s top-rated exclusives on Metacritic, too.
There’s clearly potential out there, and ID@Xbox did a great job in picking up Studio MDHR and working with them to create a fantastic title in Cuphead. With the most powerful system now at its disposal, Microsoft needs to nail down yet more promising ID@Xbox projects and really make a song and dance about them.
