We strive for our creators and customers to have the best experience possible on the Xbox LIVE Indie Games channel. With that said, an increasing number of creators have not included and/or have purposely subverted the trial mode for their titles, therefore the Peer Review guidelines have been updated to reflect this requirement. Below is the newly added text for your reference; any games not complying with theses updates will be failed in Peer Review.

All games must have a trial mode that showcases the actual game experience. If you fail to do so or use this method to provide your game for free your game will be failed in the Peer Review process. Games are NOT available for free currently on the system. This system is NOT a video hosting service and should not be used as such.

These updates can be found at the following locations:

Any questions about this or any other Peer Review requirements should be asked on our forums.
