All IGF 2013 Main Competition entrants are once again eligible for Microsoft Studios' second annual sponsored prize -- a guaranteed first-party publishing deal (including funding if desired) to release the selected title on LIVE-enabled platforms, including the Xbox LIVE Arcade service, Windows Phone, and Windows. (Last year's winner was Capy's frantic retro platform shooter Super T.I.M.E Force)
There are only a few games I could see MS picking for the XBLA pirze.
One was Hotline Miami (announced for Vita and PS3, so can't see that happening now) next up is Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime prime for online co-op action and local multiplayer or Gone Home as it's something different.
The rest I'm not sure about for XBLA.
