The program is built around connection and collaboration over competition, pairing participants with mentors and subject matter experts to help teams move from idea to prototype. Microsoft and XBOX make no claim to participants’ IP, platform exclusivity, or first rights of refusal. Participants are free to share, publish, or continue developing their projects after the program, including on platforms of their choosing. As of 2026, XBOX Game Camp has supported more than 3,665 participants globally across 15 camps, with 350+ mentors and over 30 commercial games launched, demonstrating a proven model for skills-building and community impact. Learn more about XBOX Game Camp.
