Yeah, the first few are coming this month. The list of indie devs signed onto ID@Xbox is well over 100 now (I think close to 200 actually), ranging from small new studios to some very big name indie devs like Double Fine and Playdead. 

Indie support will only get better in the future, Microsoft plans to make every Xbox One console a dev kit and they plan to give every developer free access to a special version of the Unity engine designed from the ground up for Xbox One. 

Just for comparison, both Nintendo and Sony each have over a thousand indie devs signed into their programs.

ID@XBOX seems like a pretty good program but at the moment it's not even close to the size of the other guys.

How the hell Nintendo get so many? Amazing, and they showed some of them on the Direct, which is a very smart move.
