Xbox Expands Research Division to Collaborate with Game Developers

Microsoft seeks feedback from all game development disciplines, including those not currently developing for Xbox.

Microsoft's Xbox Research division is now focusing on gathering insights from game developers to improve its tools and services.
The initiative aims to address pain points and enhance the experience of partners across various disciplines in game development.
Feedback is being solicited from all members of game studios, not just technical staff, to gain a comprehensive understanding of industry challenges.
Xbox is also welcoming input from developers who work with competitors like PlayStation to gain fresh perspectives and avoid echo chambers.
The expanded research program will use methods such as interviews, usability tests, and surveys to collect valuable data.
