Earlier this week, Microsoft announced a major collaboration with Unity Technologies, the maker of the game engine and developer tools.
The joint effort will be for the Xbox 360 and the upcoming Xbox One, allowing developers unlimited access to the tools.
Says the company (release):
Marking one step in our ongoing commitment to provide the best developer environment for creators, this collaboration will make it even easier for developers to bring popular games, entertainment and apps to Microsoft platforms.
Developers who build games published by Microsoft Studios now have access to Unity tools for Xbox 360 and Xbox One free of charge and can create interactive 3D and 2D experiences. Unity will develop tools for Xbox One, including support for features like multiplayer matchmaking, SmartGlass, enhanced Kinect gestures and recognition, and the power of the cloud.
