In recent days, Microsoft has announced that the Xbox One independent developers will be able to auto-publish their own games as well as already happens in many online stores such as the Apple Store and Google Play; What we didn't know is that this initiative will also involve Xbox 360, and sooner than you might think: since August.

The news comes from independent developer FarSight Studios, which claims that Microsoft will open the self-publishing on Xbox 360 since August, and this will allow the developer to republish on Live Arcade its title The Pinball Arcade , removed last year after the bankruptcy of the Publisher Crave Entertainment.

Microsoft announced at GamesCom, from August 20, would reveal more about the initiative, and it is therefore likely that on this occasion will herald the opening of self-publishing on Xbox 360. This also makes us understand how the initiative is not a last-minute about-face as some have thought, but the fact that the company has already prepared as of August means that self-publishing was in the works for some time.
