E3 2016: More than 1,000 games in development for ID@Xbox

Indies are currently working on more than 1,000 titles for Xbox One and Windows 10.

The figure was revealed by ID@Xbox director Chris Charla during Microsoft’s E3 2016 press conference. It’s a strong line-up given that the generation started out with PlayStation taking the lead in courting indies, and a massive leap from the 150 games announced at E3 last year.

“Independent developers have fundamentally changed the way we play games this generation,” he told attendees, followed by a showreel of some of the titles heading to Microsoft’s gaming platforms.

The games are coming to a mix of Xbox One and Windows 10, and include:

• Cuphead, StudioMDHR
