Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One 'Independent Developers Pack' revealed with new controller

pbroy on 01 June 2015

It's not E3 yet, but Microsoft has taken the wraps off of this limited edition "Independent Developers Pack" Xbox One, in Australia of all places. Besides packing download tokens for five ID@Xbox (Hand of Fate, Threes!, #IDARB, The Jackbox Party Pack, and Never Alone) and DLC add-ons for two others (Warframe, Smite beta) it also has the new Xbox One controller with integrated headphone jack that we've been expecting. In Australia, the bundle is priced the same as any other Kinectless XB1 pack, at $499AU. There's no word on a launch for the US or anywhere else, but with the big gaming conference just a couple of weeks away, we should hear more soon.

Not the most exciting bundle I've seen from them.

It should be indie games and Halo:MCC.

There have been far better bundles here at the same price.

What the console really needs is a price cut, as it has an enormous Australia premium on it currently.

But I thought this was the generation where Indies matter. I guess you missed the memo.

I've heard the memo, I am just ignoring it, like most people who buy consoles

Hand of Fate is fucking great.

That YDKJ pack is awesome too because you use your phones or tablets as the input device, makes for awesome local MP.

Smite is great too.

Overall, a nice bundle.
