Microsoft today confirmed it will soon be shutting down its Xbox 360 XNA Creator’s Club and the Xbox Live Indie Games service.

ID@Xbox boss Chris Charla said that current members of the programs will have until 9 September 2016 to complete their in-progress titles. New members to the programs will not be taken. Moreover, current members will be issued with a permanent Windows Developer account.

Any XBLIG games will remain playable, so no need to worry about that.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
