Developing a pipeline for creating, compiling, reviewing, and distributing games from XNA Creators Club to Xbox 360 gamers around the world is not easy. The XNA team is dedicated to doing it right. We know everyone is excited to know how their game is doing and finally start to see statistics on how their game is performing.

Creators will be paid out at the most 45 days after the end of the quarter, with the first quarter ending March 2009. This first quarter will also include the November and December downloads. You can find this information in our FAQ.

We are also hard at work finishing the My Business section of each Premium Creators' profile where they will be able to track their game's performance in every region it is available by quarter and even export the information to create exciting charts and graphs to share with friends.

I skillfully broke into our brilliant designer's office to steal this screen of what it should look like when we're done. Keep in mind – this is a work in progress and might look a little different once it is done in March.

We ask that you give the XNA team patience since we’re treading on new ground with Community Games. We’re constantly amazed at the energy and talent of this incredible community of Creators. We’re doing all we can to make it even easier to make great games in 2009!
