ID@Xbox is an initiative by Microsoft designed to provide support to independent game developers. Creators can apply for the program here. Upon the acceptance of their submissions, they will receive two Xbox One developer kits and get the opportunity to release their games via Xbox Live without the need to have a publisher, as was the case with Xbox 360.
