Early Access Comes to Xbox One

The Xbox Game Preview will allow developers to release in-development versions of their upcoming games on Xbox One. This has been available on PC for some time through Steam Early Access (with a fair amount of controversy), and the Xbox One becomes the first console with such a program. Your move, Sony.


Early-access games are coming to Xbox One. Starting today, you can buy early versions of space-sim Elite: Dangerous as well as survival game The Long Dark. Soon, the open-world zombie survival sim Day Z and (another) survival game Sheltered join the service. These games are not finished, but developers can start selling them to make money to help fund their development. Early Access is a program that Valve’s Steam digital store started in 2013.
