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.

-Signed The only reason I'd buy Xbox One is for Watch Dogs. At least at this point.


I don't see a good point in buying an Xbox One this early either. There isn't a large variety in new good games out yet at the moment.

I guess they needed to fix some things in order to release the beta.

Chuck_Bartowski I got a beta cod for PC but it won't work for my laptop.


Apparently you need Windows 8.1, maybe that is the problem?
