Games On The Zune: XNA 3 CTP Is Out!

Author: Rees | Date: May 8, 2008

XNA Studio 3.0 CTP

Well, that didn’t take long. Looks like Microsoft have been true to their word and released the CTP of XNA Game Studio 3.0, which, among many other exciting things, allows game development for the Zune. You’ll need a C# development environment, such as Visual C# 2008 Express, or (I’m assuming) Visual Studio to actually compile the games, for which there’s a handy little guide over on Zuneboards.com.

For the less technically inclined, hopefully Microsoft will be adding the option to download Zune games from XBLM and the Zune desktop software very soon.
