Head of Xbox Phil Spencer at the Microsoft Build conference during the week announced developers can now turn their retail Xbox One consoles into a development kit.
"We've said from the start we want Xbox One to be a great place for games and also a great place for developers of all sizes so you can create new games and application experiences," said Spencer. "Today I'm pleased to announce Xbox Dev Mode, giving developers the ability to convert their retail Xbox One into a development kit."
In order to turn your Xbox One into a dev kit all you need to do is download the Dev Mode Activation app from the Xbox Store then access it. Spencer is expecting more apps to come to the Xbox One, than games using this method.
Thanks GamesIndustry.
