It is worth noting however that Creators Program titles don’t have access to the full suite of Xbox Live features.
Already, nine games occupy that Xbox Live Creators Program store page: Animal Rivals, Block Dropper, Crystal Brawl, Derelict Fleet, ERMO, GalactiMAX!, Kubic, Space Cat!, and Stereo Aereo.
The program also grants devs access to a number of social and Xbox Live features that can be integrated directly into their Universal Windows Platform games, including Xbox Live sign-in and presence, gamertag use, leaderboards, and Mixer broadcasting.
After a five-month long pre-release run, Microsoft has opened up its simplified self-publishing initiative to the game development community at large.
