Any news on Xbox One Support?

I purchased UWP support some time ago. I've been forced to use Construct 2 as it compiles and uploads to my retail (turned devkit) Xbox One. Game Maker does not seem to support this yet. And, no, you don't need an ID@whatever to export your Construct 2 game to the devkit.

So, just wondering how people are testing their games on Xbox One? Is support out there? I'd much rather use Game Maker.

...people make games for the XBone? I've not heard a single reviewer being positive about it.

As far as I know about the PlayStation exports, all the platform-specific and implementation/export questions are handled by the Sony developer support so that they can personally keep things hush-hush. If there is an GMS Xbox export, I would imagine it's handled the same way.

Well, Xbox One support was touted on the Game Maker blog awhile ago. I'd hope they would announce support to paying developers after beta. Communication is key - especially if you announce it as an upcoming feature.

P.S. Yeah, it was tough to find games I liked on the Xbone. Once you activate it for development you can't play normal games. They give you 3 activations turning it into a dev unit then it's done. Not very fun.

Have you got a source for this information?

According to this article you can switch back and forth between retail/dev, there is no mention of any limit on the number of times you switch between modes.
