The second step is Project Moorcroft, “A program that brings the fun and discovery of playing new curated game demos coming out to our Xbox Game Pass subscribers.” This program is coming “within the next year” and will start “with a focus on providing independent developers from around the world with more opportunities to develop enthusiasm around their games.” Developers will also have tools to see their demo performance and compensations.
