Xbox Live Indie Games Comes To Windows Phone With XBLIG Companion




Xbox Live Indie Games has received more exposure in the recent Xbox 360 dashboard update, making indie games easier to find, and helping indie developers get the attention they deserve. The one thing missing for XBLIG was mobile access, which won't be an issue very soon.

What if you could have access to the latest and greatest indie titles on your Windows Phone? What if you could also find the games you're interested in and remotely queue them up for download on your Xbox 360? That's exactly what the XBLIG Companion App, currently in beta, plans to do.

XBLIG Companion is not an official Microsoft app, it's an effort by indie developers to make browsing indie titles a simple process. The developers came together and developed the app which collects information from RSS feeds on xboxindies.com. This gets the best games the best exposure. This is great idea to not only get more exposure for titles, but a smart use of mobile to console functionality. Check the video for additional details.
