Xbox One beta for Project Spark pushed back to next month

4.7
The Project Spark Xbox One beta starts in February, meaning system owners have to wait a bit longer than expected to check out the game-making game for themselves. The beta was due this month, but Microsoft Game Studios confirmed the new ETA via Facebook today.

The news comes after Microsoft sent out a whole new batch of invites to the Windows 8 beta, which has been running since December. If those beta players want to take things to the betamax, the good news is they'll also be receiving an invite to the Xbox One phase.

Project Spark looked strong in demos we saw last year, albeit in the hands of Team Dakota. At Gamescom we saw Dakota devs effortlessly create and customize beautifully rendered game worlds in a host of impressive ways, such as using Kinect motion capture to animate characters with a distinctly personal touch.

It'll certainly be interesting to how well Joe Public takes to next month's Xbox One beta, and to the full game whenever it eventually arrives on Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC.

Dun This game is incredible in my opinion. If you have a creative mind then this game should be extreamly fun.


I have yet to play it but i really like the concept behind it, world building and all.


Although it will probably be a little complicated and annoying for some, I can't wait to see what some really creative people will come up with :D


Definitely, this game is greatly turned towards creative people but i think it will also let less creative gamers have a try and see what they can do


I might have to give it a shot if it's for creative people ;D

Scizor Really looking forward to this. I've had the Xbox since release and have only used my Kinect for 1 or 2 commands. Should be fun creating worlds.


I think it will be a lot of fun creating your own world. I have always loved doing things like that on games

Ah, another wonderful idea ruined by terrible monetization.



Just go the RPG Maker route, Microsoft. One fee, unlimited possibilities. It works a lot better.
