Zune Games Preview Coming In May

Monday, 05 May 2008

Yeah that's right, Microsoft is aiming to release Zune XNA game previews in May. Even though theses are just previews I bet I can speak for us all that we didn't expect any release this early. The final full games doesn't have a solid release date but the CTP (Community Technology Preview) is coming early-mid May.

Some new things we learned is that Zune games can support up to eight Zunes at once in an ad hoc wi-fi network. The Zune games will take up 16MB RAM in the Zune device and it also intergrates your media so you can listen and play at the same time. One of the best news is the confirmation that the Zune games will work with all Zunes, even the 30GB.

Keep your eyes on Zuneboards, we'll update you on any news. Discuss the topic in our forums in this thread.

I will say that I don't think that everyone should expect to be able to play games this month. Probably just the people that are in the Creators Club will be given XNA 3.0 and newer firmware when this does go beta. Expect full release later this year(Fall Update I'm guessing).
