what’s up everyone just was wondering if anyone has xbox and or playstation license or if not do anyone know what the process of releasing a game on either console is, and is it possible to make a game put it on a blank disc and the Xbox recognize it and let you play the game, and will that work if you put the game on a blue ray disc for the playstation

You need to be a company to do PS/Xbox games. Maybe the next generation changes that, but they’re not out yet.

As a company what will you need or do you just need to show that you are a legal existing company then you get the L’s freely?

4

You need to be a legal and registered company(LLC, corporation, etc) to apply to become a registered developer. You also have to sign an NDA so don’t expect much information from anyone as they could lose their license over a small leak.

This is about the most information you can get without being accepted : http://us.playstation.com/develop/

No, it’s not free. You will need a lot of money, and not just for the licenses.

If you’re in the US, follow the steps here for Playstation development.

We’ll have to wait and see what Microsoft does with the Xbox One for indies, but that’s not an avenue worth pursuing for most indies.

thanks you guys I see … hey just a thought it would be cool if Unity were to make a console they already have a engine

There’s a little bit of misinformation going around on this topic. Unfortunately, I cannot clarify, but follow ayrik’s link, follow the steps on that page and someone from Sony can answer these questions for you.

Just for the record, before Unity can share any details about our console versions of Unity with developers, they have to confirm that they are registered developers with MS, Sony and Nintendo.

I see thanks you all for letting me know, the reason for me asking was not too long ago someone was asking me will the game I’m developing be for the PlayStation so it made me think about what is the process of releasing titles for those consoles
thanks thou,
