Microsoft Xbox announced that it will participate as an official sponsor in the ‘Busan Indie Connect Festival 2022 (BIC Festival)’, which opens on the 1st.
BIC Festival is the largest indie game festival in Korea held every year since 2015. This year, a total of 18 companies including Xbox, Studio Kingdom, Epic Games, and Megazone Cloud participated, boasting the largest scale of sponsor participation.
Xbox will meet with domestic indie game developers through brand booths at an offline event held at the Busan Port International Exhibition and Convention Center (BPEX) for four days from September 1 to 4. At the Xbox booth, demo works of the Xbox Series X|S and indie games from the title library are displayed together, so you can enjoy the game directly on site.
It also provides ID@Xbox applications for developers who want to release their games through Microsoft platforms such as Xbox Game Pass. ID@Xbox is a program that supports indie game developers to release their games on Microsoft platforms such as Windows and Xbox.
Over the past two years, Microsoft has registered more than 1,000 new indie game developers, and more than 4,600 developers from 94 countries worldwide have released their games through Xbox.
To attend BIC 2022, reservations can be made offline on the day of the event or on the BIC official website (bicfest.org). Offline events such as conferences, exhibitions, and biz matching will be held until the 4th, and the online exhibition will be extended until September 30th.
