Microsoft revealed a long list of new developers for its ID@Xbox indie developer publishing program on Xbox Wire this morning alongside an announcement that the first games from the self-publishing program are in the certification process.
Detailed last August, the program allows developers to apply for entry at http://www.xbox.com/id. If accepted, they receive two Xbox One development kits and will be able to self-publish games.
