Before starting the form, here are some friendly tips on pitching from the ID@Xbox team:
Reach out early: We'd love to hear from you as soon as possible in the development process, ideally pre-announcement, so we can maximize our potential relationship.
Share data for announced games: If your game is already announced, consider sharing community reactions, video/page views, or wishlists.
Introduce your team: Let us know about your experience and background since every game has a creative team behind it!
Provide assets: We'd appreciate the following assets:
• Video: Gameplay captured from a build with narration works best.
• Images: Target visuals are ideal; we also love GIFs.
• Build: Don't worry about bugs or early development stages when sharing a prototype or build. If you feel it captures your game's essence, we'd love to play it.
Highlight what makes your game special: Explain how your game will stand out from others in the genre or comparable titles. Share details about the core gameplay loop and any meta-game loops. Describe the emotional journey players will experience.
Specify how Xbox can help: Clearly communicate your needs and the types of opportunities you're interested in exploring.
A note on exclusivity: We frequently receive pitches offering platform-exclusive game releases on Xbox. This isn't something we usually seek, and it isn't a factor in initiatives like Xbox Game Pass.
After submitting your form, please allow up to 4 weeks for a response from our team.
Good luck, and we're excited to learn about your game!
