Microsoft has confirmed a few more details about the new self-publishing system designed to let any game developers release their titles for the Xbox One, revealing that all sorts of payment methods are supported.

The Xbox One is trying to mend its reputation with independent developers after Sony managed to attract lots of small studios with great advantages.

At PAX Prime over the weekend, Microsoft's Chris Charla revealed that the special self-publishing system ID@Xbox will allow developers to implement "every business model that any other game on Xbox One has," according to Joystiq.

There will be no distinctions between self-published titles and bigger ones, as they'll have full Gamerscore, achievements, and support for technologies like Kinect or SmartGlass.

With all these features, Microsoft is making the Xbox One much more indie-friendly.
